Ready-Made vs. Custom-Made Curtains

The decision comes down to achieving the desired look, value for money, and ensuring proper fit for your windows.

High Level of Customisation

With our custom-made curtains, you can enjoy additional features unavailable in ready-made products. Design your curtains precisely as you envision, including selecting fabric fullness, tailored measurements without compromising quality, hem size, motorization, and much more.

Curtains provide an easy way to regulate room temperature. We recommend using blockout curtains for the best insulation. These curtains effectively block out heat, reflecting it back outside, helping to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer.

As your curtains are custom-made, there is a lead time before we can dispatch them to you, typically ranging from 2 to 3 weeks. Please note that this does not include transit time after dispatch by the freight carriers.

1. Comparable Cost:
Despite common misconceptions, custom-made curtains are often priced similarly to off-the-shelf options. When factoring in the customisation and superior craftsmanship involved, custom curtains frequently offer better value. Crafted from durable materials, they outlast ready-made alternatives, proving to be a more cost-effective long-term investment. Ready-made curtains made from inferior materials may necessitate frequent replacements, ultimately leading to higher costs over time. Investing a similar amount for a perfectly tailored solution eliminates the hassle of settling for something nearly right.

2. Enhanced Value and Style:
Custom curtains exude a distinct charm and elegance that ready-made alternatives struggle to replicate. While ready-made curtains may serve a temporary purpose, achieving the desired look often requires additional effort, diverting attention from other home improvement projects. Beyond aesthetic appeal, custom curtains can elevate your home’s value. Impressions matter to potential buyers, and the meticulous attention to detail evident in custom-made curtains signals overall care for the property, potentially commanding a premium price.

3. Straightforward Measurement and Ordering Process:
Contrary to common misconceptions, measuring for custom-made curtains is straightforward. Comprehensive guides walk you through the process step by step, ensuring accurate measurements. Once measurements are obtained, selecting fabric and header style and inputting measurements on the purchase page is all it takes. Most orders are processed swiftly, within 2-3 weeks.

4. Personalised Satisfaction and Wow-Factor:
Your home décor should reflect your preferences without compromise, especially concerning curtains. After investing time and effort into crafting your ideal living space, settling for ready-made curtains often means sacrificing style and fabric choices. With custom-made curtains, you receive precisely what you desire, tailored to fit your window dimensions perfectly. This ensures confidence in both appearance and functionality, affirming your commitment to creating a beautiful home tailored to your taste with custom-made designer curtains.

Opting for ready-made curtains from Bunnings or Spotlight often falls short as a solution for your window coverings, as detailed above. While these stores also offer custom-made curtains, we excel in price, quality, and customisation, ensuring superior value for your investment.

Our curtains and blinds are meticulously crafted in Melbourne. When you choose curtains and blinds from My Direct Blinds, you’re supporting Australian workers and a homegrown company.

Curtains are efficiently assembled within a short timeframe. With labor costs constituting a relatively small portion of the product’s total cost, locally produced curtains often offer comparable or even cheaper manufacturing costs when factoring in international shipping expenses. This is why many window furnishings continue to be made in Australia.

Opting for Australian-made curtains not only supports local employment but also helps keep money circulating within our economy, rather than sending it offshore.

Moreover, Australian-made curtains offer additional advantages. In case of any issues, they can be promptly addressed within a few business days, as opposed to the prolonged wait times associated with overseas-made curtains.

Most importantly, Australian-made curtains have shorter turnaround times, typically taking just a few weeks, while their overseas counterparts can take 8 weeks or more to arrive.

The term stands for “Do it yourself”. ‘DIY’.

It has essentially been associated with consumers primarily in the domain of home improvement and maintenance activities. It’s where people undertake home improvement and various other small craft and construction projects as both a creative-recreational and cost-saving activity.

In terms of our curtains, DIY will mean you measure and install them yourself instead of having a company do it for you.

By ‘doing it yourself’, you will save on the costs associated with having someone come into your home to measure for you, and installer costs. You’ll save quite a bit, and it’s not hard at all. We’re here to help you every step of the way too.

Our curtains are easy to measure and install. You don’t have to be a professional to do it.

Most curtains from My Direct Blinds are supplied with a track. You can choose from a white, black, or anodized (silver-looking) track. Opting for motorised curtains ensures that the entire track is motorised, providing a premium user experience.

Customers have the flexibility to measure for existing tracks they might have in the following curtain headings only:

– Pinch Pleat
– Double Pinch Pleat
– Inverted Pleat
– Pencil Pleat
– Eyelet (No Rod Supplied)

For these curtain headings, customers have the option to order a track together, and this is the recommended route:

– S Fold
– Pinch Pleat
– Double Pinch Pleat
– Inverted Pleat
– Pencil Pleat

Key Point: S-Folds cannot be ordered for existing tracks due to fullness, tape, and carrier issues. Therefore, if you choose the most popular heading (S-Folds), they will arrive with a track.

S-Fold curtains emerge as the preferred option among customers. This adaptable style elevates the aesthetic of any home and is available in both sheer and blockout variations.

No need to worry! Simply provide us with the measurements of your window or wall as per our measurement instructions, and we’ll handle all the calculations. For face fit curtains that specifically cover the window without extending to the entire wall, you may consider slightly extending the curtain track to frame your windows beautifully. However, our measuring guides will guide you through the entire process step by step.

There’s no definitive answer. Linen look curtains are currently trendy.

To ensure you’re fully satisfied with your selections, we provide complimentary samples of up to 10 fabrics. Order your free samples today to make an informed decision.

Indeed! Double Curtains serve as an excellent method to introduce texture into a bedroom. For those sensitive to light, blockout curtains prove to be ideal as they effectively minimise light infiltration, and create privacy, whilst sheers will help in the daytime. Moreover, you can layer sheer curtains atop a blockout roller blind to ensure daytime privacy while imparting an attractive interior decor element if you don’t want double curtains.

We offer a 5-year warranty on our curtains and blinds.

Occasional creasing may occur, but it’s nothing to be concerned about.

If you’ve recently hung your new curtains, allow them some time to settle. Over time, the creases will naturally disappear, especially with warmer weather. Avoid ironing or steaming the fabric, as it could potentially cause damage.

If your curtains have lost their shape, you can easily tidy the S-folds. Begin by drawing your curtains open. Then, run your fingers from the top to the bottom of the curtains, forming neat folds that align with the S-folds created in your curtain heading (at the top of your curtain). We recommend leaving the curtains drawn open for a couple of days to allow the fabric to relax and retain the folds.
