Waltzing matilda.

After Rachael and her partner finished building a townhouse near the beach in Rosebud, on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, she couldn’t wait to bring her dreams of a relaxed coastal interior to life.

“The house is modern with a warm, coastal feeling opening up to a beautiful green garden for our kids to play in. We love it,” says Rachael.

“We chose a monochromatic palette with lots of texture and warmth added with carefully selected fittings and finishes.”

The window furnishings played an important part in this and Rachael approached Interior Consultant Jess and the team at dollar curtains + blinds’ Mornington store to help her bring her vision to life.

“We trusted the team to be able to deliver beautiful window furnishings. With a huge range of options from Blinds to Curtains, Sheers to Plantation Shutters, working with dollar curtains + blinds gave us the ability to ensure the window furnishings we selected were right for our space,” she says.

Rachael’s goal was to transform the space from a newly-built house to a home, creating a warm and inviting feeling in every room.

“We were keen to ensure the Curtains looked and felt luxurious and that they worked with and enhanced all the soft furnishings, creating a cohesive space overall,” explains Rachael.

“The motorised Blinds have been a game-changer – completely transforming the large panes of glass. To wake up, and be able to press a button and have natural light stream in, feels like such a treat, and in this case, an affordable and accessible one. It’s a luxury resort feature in our own home.”

Layered approach.

“It gives a look of luxury and when you take Curtains up to the ceiling, it sends the eye up and gives the impression that the ceiling is actually higher than it is as well as opening up a room.”

New heights.

According to dollar curtain + blinds’ Interior Consultant Jess, taking the Curtains up to the ceiling is “very on-trend” at the moment.

“It gives a look of luxury and when you take Curtains up to the ceiling, it sends the eye up and gives the impression that the ceiling is actually higher than it is as well as opening up a room,” she says.

Rachael couldn’t be happier with the finished result.

“We really couldn’t have asked for anything more. The dollar curtains + blinds products chosen have elevated the home, providing textural details and flexibility in the various spaces, in terms of privacy and shade at various times of the day.”

“We really can’t fault the finish, the service and the exceptional quality, the overall outcome has far exceeded our expectations,” she added.
