Custom Curtains & Blinds in Marrickville

Marrickville has changed faster than almost any suburb in the Inner West, with old factories and warehouses around Sydenham and Addison Road converted into lofts, new apartment blocks going up along Illawarra Road and the Cooks River, and Federation cottages on the quieter streets in between. It also sits under the flight path, which shapes what people want at the window: heavier, lined treatments that cut noise as well as light, and blinds that can cover the large industrial-scale windows that came with a warehouse. Sway Curtains designs and installs custom curtains and blinds for Marrickville homes and apartments, with local support from our Moore Park showroom on the eastern side of the city.

Curtains That Cut Noise as Well as Light

Living under the flight path, a lot of Marrickville homeowners want their bedroom curtains to do two jobs. Our blackout curtains, made up with a heavy lining and hung full-length, block the light and take a noticeable edge off aircraft and traffic noise. In a warehouse loft with a wall of steel-framed glass, sheer curtains on a long track soften the light and the industrial feel without shrinking the space. For west-facing apartments along the Cooks River that cop the afternoon sun, our light filtering curtains cut the glare and heat without making the room dark.

Blinds for Big Warehouse Windows and New Apartments

Industrial windows are wide and tall, and roller blinds from our blinds range scale up to cover them cleanly, running as a dual layer so you have a screen fabric for the day and a blockout for the night. In the newer apartment blocks, rollers are also the neat choice for floor-to-ceiling glass, while venetian blinds suit a home office. In the Federation cottages, roman blinds keep the original architraves visible, and our plantation shutters in timber add a durable, built-in finish. Many Marrickville homeowners mix curtains in the bedrooms with blinds through the living areas.

Motorisation for Lofts and Floor-to-Ceiling Glass

A converted warehouse often has glazing that runs the full height of a double-storey space, and there's no sensible way to operate that by hand. Motorisation runs the whole wall from a remote or your phone, and in a new apartment it lets you drop the blinds across a wide balcony frontage in one go, with no cords to clutter the room.

Measuring Non-Standard Windows

We start with a free in-home measure and quote, where one of our team comes to your Marrickville property to talk through fabric, style and functionality based on your windows and how you use each room. Oversized industrial frames and the odd sizes that come with a conversion 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.

Can curtains help with aircraft noise in Marrickville?

Heavy, lined blockout curtains hung full-length will noticeably reduce the noise coming through a window, though they won't eliminate it. They're a popular choice for bedrooms under the flight path.

What blinds suit the big windows in a Marrickville warehouse conversion?

Roller blinds are the usual answer, often as a dual roller with a screen fabric for daytime and a blockout for night. Motorisation is worth considering for windows that run the full height of the space.
