Founder & CEO
Diana Taylor
The founder of Sway Curtains, pairing a designer's eye with technical precision.
Diana built Sway Curtains from the ground up, starting in 2018 with little more than a car full of fabric samples and a clear conviction: Australian homes deserved better than mass-produced window coverings or overpriced, uninspired designs.
Diana's story
A different route into interiors.
Diana's path into interiors was an unconventional one. Before founding Sway Curtains, she trained and worked as an actuary, and she still cheerfully describes herself as a “numbers nerd” at heart.
That analytical, detail-driven mindset has become one of Sway Curtains' greatest strengths. Where many design professionals come from purely artistic backgrounds, Diana pairs a designer's eye with genuine technical precision, an advantage she sharpened further by completing a formal qualification in interiors.
Precision at every scale
Trusted in homes and landmark spaces.
It is an approach that has earned the trust of some of Sydney's most demanding clients. Under Diana's leadership, Sway Curtains has installed bespoke window furnishings in more than 1,000 homes, as well as landmark commercial spaces including the Sydney Opera House and the Australian Museum—projects that called for millimetre-level accuracy and meticulous tailoring.
A personal approach
Made to feel right for years.
Diana personally champions Sway Curtains' consultative, customer-first process, guiding clients toward pieces that suit their space and lifestyle. She sees curtains as a long-term investment that should still feel right years later. Diana sources exclusive fabrics alongside a growing Australian-made range spanning sheer curtains, light-filtering and dimout curtains and blackout curtains, and stays hands-on across design, fit and finish.
