Custom Curtains & Blinds in Leichhardt

Leichhardt is a suburb of Federation semis and cottages on tight blocks either side of Norton Street and Parramatta Road, most of them with the same layout: two bedrooms at the front facing the street, a hallway down one side, and a kitchen and living area at the back that has usually been knocked through and extended. That gives a Leichhardt home a clear split, with the front rooms needing privacy from the footpath and the rear needing to manage a lot of afternoon light through new glazing. Sway Curtains designs and installs custom curtains and blinds for Leichhardt homes, with local support from our Moore Park showroom on the eastern side of the city.

Front Bedrooms on the Street, Living Rooms on the Yard

In a Leichhardt semi the front bedroom window is often a couple of metres from the footpath, so it needs to be private and dark. Our blackout curtains do both, blocking passers-by and street lights at night and the early sun in the morning. Down the back, the living area is where sheer curtains come in, keeping the room bright and the yard in view while softening the light. For a rear extension that faces west, our light filtering curtains cut the heat and glare that build up through a summer afternoon without making the room dark.

Blinds and Shutters for Semis and Small Rooms

Semis don't have a lot of wall space to spare, so treatments that stay within the window frame are popular. Roman blinds suit the front rooms of a Federation home, keeping the original architraves visible, and roller blinds from our blinds range are the neat choice for a renovated kitchen or bathroom. Venetian blinds give a home office the fine light control that screen work needs, and our plantation shutters in timber add a durable, built-in finish that suits a Federation cottage. Many Leichhardt homeowners mix curtains in the living area with blinds or shutters through the rest of the home.

Motorised Options for Rear Extensions

The wide bifold or stacker doors that most Leichhardt renovations add at the rear are heavy to dress by hand, and the highlight windows above them are usually out of reach altogether. Motorisation lets you run the whole back wall from a remote or your phone, and keeps cords out of a family living room.

Booking a Free Measure in Leichhardt

We start with a free in-home measure and quote, where one of our team comes to your Leichhardt property to talk through fabric, style and functionality based on your windows and how you use each room. 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.
