Custom Curtains & Blinds in Hunters Hill

Hunters Hill is a heritage-listed peninsula between the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers, and it looks it: Victorian sandstone villas with deep verandahs, stone garden walls, old fig trees and a shoreline dotted with private jetties and the Valentia Street ferry wharf. Most of the suburb is a conservation area, so the houses keep their original cedar joinery, tall sash windows and formal front rooms, and a good many have been extended at the rear to open onto the water. The window furnishings need to sit comfortably against stone and old timber in the front of the house while managing the strong reflected light off the river at the back. Sway Curtains designs and installs custom curtains and blinds for Hunters Hill homes, with local support from our Belrose showroom a short drive away.

Curtains for Formal Rooms and Cedar Joinery

The formal front rooms of a Hunters Hill villa were built for full-length curtains, and they still suit them best. Floor-length sheer curtains soften the light in a sitting room without competing with the stone and cedar, and heavier lined curtains in a plain linen or wool add warmth and a sense of occasion in a dining room. Where you'd rather keep the original architraves fully visible, roman blinds sit inside the frame instead. Bedrooms are where our blackout curtains come in, giving a properly dark room in a house with a lot of glass.

Timber Shutters for Sandstone Homes

Stone and timber belong together, and our plantation shutters in timber are a natural fit for a sandstone home, echoing the cedar joinery and adding a warm, durable finish to bedrooms, studies and bathrooms. For rooms right on the water, where humidity and salt air are a factor, waterproof PVC shutters are the more practical choice. Across our wider blinds range, roller blinds suit a renovated kitchen and venetian blinds suit a study. Many Hunters Hill homeowners keep curtains in the formal rooms and use shutters through the rest of the house.

Managing the Light Off the River

The rear extensions on Hunters Hill's riverfront homes are usually built to face the water, and the afternoon sun off the Lane Cove River is bright and hot. Our light filtering curtains take the edge off that glare while keeping the view, and a layered treatment, with a sheer for the day and a heavier curtain or blind for the evening, gives you control as the light and the privacy needs change.

Motorised Options for Large Heritage Homes

A big villa has a lot of windows, many of them tall, and the extensions add long runs of glass on top of that. Motorisation lets you manage a whole floor from a remote or your phone, and it can be installed discreetly so the wiring is hidden and the heritage fabric of the rooms is left alone.

A Careful Measure for a Heritage Property

We start with a free in-home measure and quote, where one of our team comes to your Hunters Hill property to talk through fabric, style and functionality based on your windows, the existing joinery and how you use each room. Old sandstone homes have deep reveals and windows that are rarely perfectly square, which is 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.

Bring Your Colour Samples to Belrose

While we don't have a physical showroom in Hunters Hill itself, our Belrose showroom is a short drive away via Epping Road and Eastern Valley Way and gives you the chance to hold fabrics and timber finishes against paint and stone samples from your own home before committing. If the Eastern Suburbs is more convenient, our Moore Park showroom is also an option. We work on residential projects and commercial projects across Sydney, so whether it's a single room or a full home, we can help.
