Curtains in Brisbane that change the whole room.
Fabric, heading and lining, chosen for your room
A room can be well furnished and still feel unfinished while the windows are bare. Curtains are usually what settles it, softening hard surfaces and giving the eye somewhere to rest. At Studio Curtains & Blinds, we make ours to measure for homes and businesses throughout Brisbane, in sheers, blockouts, s-folds, pencil pleats and fully custom designs. Most of the decision comes down to three things: the fabric, the heading that gathers it and the lining sitting behind it. Get those right and the drop hangs properly for years rather than sagging out of shape. If you're weighing them against something more compact, our blinds range is worth a look. Call 0449 742 791 to book a measure and quote.

What we consider before quoting
Every quote starts with the same four questions, and your answers shape everything that follows.
- 01
How the room is used.A bedroom and a formal living room want different things from the same window, and the fabric weight follows from that.
- 02
How much light you want to keep.Sheers filter and blockouts stop light outright, while layering the two gives you both options in one window.
- 03
The window's proportions.Tall windows carry a heavier drop well, while short or high-set windows usually look better with something lighter.
- 04
Track or rod.Tracks handle curves and heavy fabric more smoothly, while rods sit more visibly and become part of the look.
FAQs
Mounting the track or rod above the window frame, closer to the ceiling, makes the window read as taller than it is. It also means the fabric stacks clear of the glass when open, so you lose less light.
A lining adds body so the fabric hangs in a fuller, more even drop, and it protects the face fabric from sun damage. Unlined curtains are lighter and let more light through, which suits a room where softness matters more than light control.
Yes, particularly on windows that take direct afternoon sun. A closely fitted curtain with a decent lining slows heat transfer through the glass, though external shading will always do more.
