Are the satin and silk-look curtains real silk?

No. They are satin-finish and silk-look polyester weaves, chosen because they hold their colour and shape in strong sun where real silk fades and rots. Each product page states the composition.

Should luxury curtains be lined?

Usually, yes. Lining adds weight so the folds hang straight, protects the face fabric from sun, and improves insulation. Ask for it when you order and we quote for it; for a bedroom or media room, a blackout lining.

Which heading looks most formal?

Triple pleat, hung from hooks on a track or rings. For a contemporary room, S-fold on a ceiling-fixed track gives a continuous, even ripple.

What drop should floor-length curtains be?

Measure from the top of the rod or underside of the track to 1 cm above the floor for a clean break, or add 5–10 cm if you want them to puddle. Enter the exact figure as a custom drop.

How long do made-to-measure luxury curtains take?

Four to six weeks from sign-off, then tracked and insured delivery Australia-wide — free on every Australian order.

Can I get samples before ordering?

Yes. Samples are free and posted within one working day.

Curtains

Luxury curtains

Silk, velvet and Belgian linen, hung floor to ceiling. Every pair is cut to your measurements and finished in our own workroom, so the drop, the heading and the fullness are yours rather than a stock size.

Choosing luxury curtains

Satin, velvet and silk-look

This is the range for rooms that want presence: satin-finish drapes that hold a soft sheen, velvets that absorb light and read deep, and silk-look weaves with the fall of silk without its fragility in strong Australian sun. Colour is the decision — a champagne or ivory satin lifts a room, a midnight or teal velvet anchors it.

All are made in our own workroom to your drop and heading. A lining is worth asking for on these cloths: it adds weight so the folds hang straight, protects the face fabric from sun and improves insulation — tell us when you order and we quote for it.

Sizing and fullness

Each curtain comes in two panel widths — about 130 cm and 254 cm — in standard drops from 160 cm to 274 cm, and you can enter your own width and drop on the product page for anything else. Widths are per panel and each pack is two panels, so the narrower pair covers a window up to about 130 cm wide at 2× fullness, and the 254 cm pair a window up to about 240 cm. Heavier cloths look best at 2× fullness with a floor-length drop; a 1–2 cm break above the floor keeps the hem clean.

Headings

Every curtain is made in the heading you choose on the product page: eyelet, pinch pleat, triple pleat, reverse tab or S-fold. Eyelets suit a rod and give deep, even folds; pinch and triple pleats hang from hooks on a track or rings and read more formal; reverse (back) tab hides the rod behind the fabric; S-fold needs a wave track and gives the continuous ripple you see in hotels. Triple pleat is the classic heading for a formal room; S-fold on a ceiling-fixed track is the contemporary one.

How to measure

Fit the rod or track first, 10–15 cm above the frame and extending 15–25 cm past it each side, then measure from the top of the rod (or the underside of the track) to where you want the hem: sill, 1 cm above the floor, or puddled. Measure the drop at both ends and use the shorter figure. Our measuring guide walks through it with diagrams.

Lead time, delivery and samples

Made-to-measure curtains leave the workroom four to six weeks after you sign off the size and heading. Delivery is Australia-wide, tracked and insured — complimentary on every Australian order, with no minimum spend. Free fabric samples are posted within one working day so you can check colour and weight in your own light before ordering.
