Custom Curtains & Blinds in Alexandria

Alexandria has gone from industrial backblock to one of the fastest-growing residential pockets in inner Sydney, with new apartment towers around Green Square, warehouse conversions off Botany Road and Bourke Road, and rows of workers' terraces near Sydney Park. What the new stock has in common is glass, and a lot of it: floor-to-ceiling windows in the apartments and big steel-framed openings in the warehouses, most of it with nothing to shade it from a western sun. Sway Curtains designs and installs custom curtains and blinds for Alexandria homes and apartments, with local support from our Moore Park showroom a few minutes up South Dowling Street.

Curtains for Floor-to-Ceiling Glass

A new Alexandria apartment usually comes with a wall of glass and a great view of the sun. Full-height sheer curtains on a ceiling-mounted track are the classic answer, softening the light and giving daytime privacy from the tower opposite while keeping the room feeling open. Where the afternoon sun is more intense, our light filtering curtains cut glare and heat without losing natural light. Bedrooms that share that glazing need our blackout curtains, particularly where a building next door or the traffic on Botany Road keeps things bright at night.

Dual Roller Blinds for Warehouses and Apartments

For big, plain expanses of glass, roller blinds from our blinds range are the cleanest option, and in Alexandria they're most often installed as a dual roller: a screen fabric that cuts glare during the day and a blockout layer for night, on the same bracket. They scale up well to the tall steel-framed windows in a warehouse conversion and suit the minimal look most of these interiors are going for. Venetian blinds suit a home office where you want to angle light off a screen, and in the older terraces near Sydney Park, roman blinds and our plantation shutters keep a period room looking right. Many Alexandria homeowners mix sheers in the living area with dual rollers through the rest of the apartment.

Motorisation for Wide Glazing and High Ceilings

When a living room has five metres of glass across the balcony and a three-metre ceiling, motorisation stops being a luxury and becomes the practical way to operate the blinds. It lets you run the whole frontage from a remote or your phone, and it can be set to close automatically when the western sun hits in the afternoon.

Measuring Off Plans for New Apartments

We start with a free in-home measure and quote, where one of our team comes to your Alexandria property to talk through fabric, style and functionality based on your windows and how you use each room. If you're moving into a new build, we can measure early and have everything ready to install as soon as you get the keys. Everything is custom-made to your exact measurements, and we handle the full installation ourselves rather than outsourcing it, so the fit and finish stays consistent from start to finish.
