If you are building or renovating a home in Melbourne, the right window treatments enhance privacy, transform interiors, improve energy efficiency, and add the finishing touch that defines your home's style. Here is a complete guide to popular window furnishing options for 2025.
Curtains – But Not as You Know Them
In 2025, think full-height, wall-to-wall installations. The popular S-fold heading style and organic, soft fabrics that drape beautifully elevate even the most minimalist spaces.
Sheer Curtains – Privacy and Style
Over the past seven years, the popularity of sheer curtains has soared. In 2025, they're about organic fabrics with subtle texture and movement.
Double Curtains – Doubled Versatility
In 2025, sheer curtains are typically installed in front of blockout lining curtains. This keeps the sheers as the visual feature while the blockout behind ensures night-time privacy.
Roman Blinds – Timeless Appeal
Three types: standard Romans, bonded Romans with drapery fabric, and soft Romans without battens. Ideal for small windows, above bench seats, and in small bedrooms.
Roller Blinds – Practical Yet Beautiful
Melbourne's most popular window treatment, available in beautiful fabrics from blockout to light-filtering and sunscreen types.
Double Roller Blinds – Function Meets Style
Install both a blockout and a sunscreen blind on the same window for flexible daytime privacy and nighttime darkness.
Plantation Shutters – Timeless Elegance
Now a hit in modern interiors too. PVC shutters for wet areas, timber shutters for living rooms.
The Designer's Tip on Layering
No single product suits every window. The key is knowing how to layer and combine effectively for maximum effect.
