Curtains and Drapes

When it comes to decorating the house, every house owner wants to add their personal touch and feel to everything. And where this covers things like the furniture and décor, it also includes the drapery. At Dollar Curtains & Blinds, we enable you to achieve this through bespoke curtains that resonate with the mood and visual appeal you want around your home.

Whether you’re looking for classic elegance, eclectic chic or a modern contemporary feel, curtains from Dollar Curtains & Blinds provide colour and impact to every room. In addition to the exciting and endless visual opportunities they offer, there are many practical reasons that make them a wise and long-term investment.

Superior Quality at Affordable Prices

With bespoke curtains from Dollar Curtains & Blinds, homeowners can steer safe of generic curtains that lack quality and durability. Such window treatments typically last for a shorter while before they get sun damaged or experience tear.

On the other hand, if you select from our exclusive Free Make curtain fabric range, not only do you get superior and Australian-made custom-made curtains, but you also won’t have to pay for the making of your curtains! So you can enjoy all of the practical benefits which make custom-made curtains a wise choice but for an affordable price. We also make it easy for you when selecting your fabric and colour with our full-length curtain samples which you can take home and hang up.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Custom-made curtains not only look better, but they also can save you money by cutting your energy bill. Our curtains have insulating properties that help block the outdoor temperatures from entering your home, and this is especially important in the upcoming Winter. Being one of the best window treatments at improving your home’s insulation, drapes can preserve up to 20% of the total heat in your home.

Hence, custom-made curtains are more than just items that add to a room’s visual appeal. They are a great investment from an energy-efficiency perspective as well.

Flexible Light Control

Many homeowners struggle to find a good balance of light control with window treatments. Often, natural lighting is limited in a space and you don’t want to cover your windows with thick curtains that block it out. Our Free Make curtains provide excellent light control, privacy and reduce outside noise levels, allowing you to effortlessly and effectively control your environment depending on the occasion and your mood.

By getting bespoke curtains from Dollar Curtains and Blinds, you can get the best fabric while enjoying all of the other benefits that come with curtains as mentioned above!
