Custom Curtains & Blinds in Glebe

Glebe is one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, a heritage conservation area of Victorian terraces and cottages that runs from Broadway down Glebe Point Road to the foreshore at Blackwattle and Rozelle Bays. The houses come with the detail you'd expect of the period, bay windows, arched openings, timber sashes and high ceilings, while the newer apartments at Glebe Point look west across the water to the Anzac Bridge. Window furnishings here have to work with heritage joinery in the terraces and with big, sun-facing glazing by the bay. Sway Curtains designs and installs custom curtains and blinds for Glebe homes and apartments, with local support from our Moore Park showroom on the other side of the city.

Curtains for Bay Windows and Victorian Front Rooms

A Glebe bay window is the feature of the room, and the curtain should frame it rather than flatten it. Full-length sheer curtains on a curved or angled track follow the shape of the bay, soften the view in from Glebe Point Road and make the most of the ceiling height. Rooms that get direct sun suit our light filtering curtains, which cut glare and heat without losing natural light. Bedrooms in a terrace usually face the street, so our blackout curtains block street light and neighbouring windows as well as the early morning sun.

Roman Blinds and Shutters That Respect the Joinery

Where a terrace still has its original timber sashes and architraves, roman blinds sit inside the frame and keep that detail on show. Our plantation shutters in timber suit the period equally well and add a durable, built-in finish that works in a Victorian front room. At the back of the house, where the kitchen has usually been opened up, roller blinds from our blinds range give a cleaner, more modern look. Many Glebe homeowners keep curtains and romans in the front rooms and switch to blinds or shutters in the renovated spaces.

Motorisation for Waterside Apartments and Tall Terraces

The apartments down at Glebe Point face west across Blackwattle Bay and get strong afternoon sun off the water through wide balcony doors, and motorisation lets you adjust the whole frontage as the light moves. In the terraces, it's the answer for stairwell windows and attic conversions that are otherwise out of reach.

Getting the Measure Right on a Heritage Home

We start with a free in-home measure and quote, where one of our team comes to your Glebe property to talk through fabric, style and functionality based on your windows and how you use each room. Bay windows, arched openings and out-of-square frames are exactly where a made-to-measure approach pays off. 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.

FAQs

Do you install curtains and blinds in Glebe?

Yes, we service Glebe, Forest Lodge, Annandale and the surrounding inner-city suburbs, with a free in-home measure and quote and full installation included.

Can you fit curtains to a bay window in a Glebe terrace?

Yes. We use curved or angled tracks that follow the shape of the bay, so full-length curtains hang cleanly around it. Roman blinds fitted to each pane are another option if you'd rather keep the joinery visible.

Can I get motorised blinds or curtains for a Glebe home?

Yes, motorisation is available across our curtain and blind ranges and is a popular choice for west-facing waterside apartments and for hard-to-reach windows in tall terraces.

Is there a Sway Curtains showroom near Glebe?

Our closest showroom to Glebe is at Moore Park, a short drive across the city. Our Belrose showroom on the North Shore is also available if that's more convenient.
