Sheer curtains offer numerous advantages, blending both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. However, it’s essential to recognise that individual preferences and design sensibilities vary widely, meaning that the benefits of sheer curtains can be appreciated differently by each person. From enhancing the visual ambiance of a room with their soft, ethereal appearance to providing day time privacy while still allowing natural light to filter through, sheer curtains cater to diverse needs and design preferences. Whether you prioritise their decorative charm, their ability to create a sense of openness, or their utility in diffusing glare and protecting against UV rays, sheer curtains offer a versatile solution that can be tailored to suit your unique lifestyle and aesthetic vision.

Our curtains have the ability to visually expand any room. Floor-to-ceiling curtains, in particular, establish a sense of grandeur, as the elongated lines created by the folds in the fabric draw the gaze upwards. This effect is heightened with curtains featuring an S Fold, as the fabric maintains a continuous straight line from floor to track, accentuating the room’s height. Sheer curtains are particularly effective in creating the illusion of spaciousness by allowing ample natural light to filter through.

We offer a diverse selection of sheer curtains tailored to fit any space. Whether you opt for our Designer Curtains, Curved Curtains, or Box and Bay Curtains, you can achieve a luxurious aesthetic at an affordable price point.

Throughout the day, sheer curtains offer a unique balance of visibility, allowing you to enjoy views outside while maintaining privacy indoors.

The characteristic of sheer curtains is that they enable vision from areas of lower light intensity to those of higher intensity. Consequently, during the evening with indoor lights illuminated, visibility into the interior is feasible. For rooms facing streets or public spaces, we recommend combining sheer curtains with either a blockout roller blind or a luxurious double curtain configuration, comprising both a sheer and blockout curtain, to ensure privacy and security.

Certainly, you can layer sheer curtains with blockout curtains or alternative options to meet your needs. Depending on your windows and preferences, consider:

• Installing double curtains
• Adding blockout roller blinds or other types of blinds behind sheer curtains
• Incorporating plantation shutters behind sheer curtains

Absolutely, our instructions are straightforward and typically require just 10-30 minutes per order. You’ll only need a pen, tape measure, and a drill equipped with a 3mm Phillips head. Explore our complete installation guide here.

High Level of Customization

Including: Choosing the fabric fullness, habing the curtains precisely made to your measurements without alterations that could impact their quality, hem size, motorisation and much more.

While sheer curtains offer some thermal insulation, if your aim is to minimise heat loss, we suggest pairing your sheers with one of the following options:

• Blockout curtains on a double curtain track
• Plantation shutters
• Thermal-backed blockout roller blinds

Forget the old-fashioned stereotypes—sheer curtains are back in style! In recent years, they’ve experienced a resurgence, thanks to a variety of contemporary materials like linen and linen-inspired fabrics. Modern designs, including the trendy S Fold curtains, offer soft, organic curves and natural textures that can elevate the look of any home.

Absolutely! If you don’t want seperate double curtains, our lined curtains offer precisely that convenience. Select your preferred sheer curtain material and then choose a lining option. We’ll seamlessly stitch the two fabrics together, saving you from any additional effort.

Lined sheer curtains boast numerous advantages, such as:

• Ensuring uniform window coverings throughout your home
• Offering superb thermal insulation
• Blocking light and absorbing UV rays
• Minimising external noise and enhancing room acoustics

As your sheer curtains are custom-made, there is a lead time before we can dispatch them to you, usually spanning from 2 to 3 weeks. Please be aware that this timeframe does not encompass transit time after dispatch by the freight carriers.

Purchasing ready made curtains from Bunnings or Spotlight for the most part is an inferior solution for your window coverings as outlined above. Although these stores both also sell custom made curtains, we’re able to beat them on price, quality, and customisation.

Our curtains and blinds are crafted in Melbourne, meaning that when you purchase curtains and blinds from My Direct Blinds, you’re backing Australian workers and a homegrown company.

Curtains are efficiently assembled in short time. 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 explains 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 come complete with a track. You have the option to select from a white, black, or anodised (silver looking track) track. Opting for motorised curtains ensures the entire track is motorised, offering a premium user experience.

Users have the choice to measure for existing tracks they might have in these curtain headings only:

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

Users have the option to order a track together for these Curtain headings:

• 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.

The S fold curtains stand out as the top choice among customers. This versatile style enhances the aesthetic of any home and is offered in both sheer and blockout options.

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.
