Custom-made curtains for Wellington homes
Curtains can soften a room, improve privacy, reduce glare, support insulation and completely change how a space feels. Wendy will help you bring the visual and practical details together — from fabric and lining to pleat style, fullness, track and finished length.
Curtains made for your windows — not almost made for them
Every window is different.
Custom-made curtains are measured and created for the proportions of your space, giving you greater control over the fit, fabric, fullness, lining and final appearance.
Wendy will visit your home, assess the windows and help you choose an option that suits the architecture, the room and your everyday needs.
Explore your curtain options
Sheer Curtains
Sheer curtains soften daylight and provide daytime privacy while keeping a room feeling light and open.
They work beautifully on their own or layered with lined curtains or blinds for greater privacy and light control.
Blockout Curtains
Blockout curtains are designed to significantly reduce incoming light, making them a popular choice for bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms and shift workers.
The final performance depends on the fabric, lining and how the curtain is designed and installed.
Thermal Curtains and Linings
The right curtain and lining combination can help reduce heat loss through windows and make a room feel more comfortable.
Wendy can explain the different lining options and how installation details affect performance.
Lined Curtains
Lining can improve drape, protect the face fabric, provide privacy and support light and temperature control.
Different rooms may benefit from different linings, so there is no need to use the same formula throughout the house.
Unlined Curtains
Some fabrics and decorative applications work beautifully without lining, particularly when a lighter, more relaxed effect is wanted.
Wendy will explain the practical trade-offs before you decide.
Motorised Curtains
Motorised curtain tracks can be useful for large windows, high or difficult-to-reach spaces, accessibility needs and streamlined smart-home living.
Wendy can help determine whether motorisation is suitable and coordinate the system with the rest of your curtain design.
The top of the curtain matters too
The heading or pleat style affects the way a curtain hangs, stacks and suits the room.
Options may include:
Pencil pleat
Single, double or triple pleat
Inverted pleat
Wave heading
Eyelet styles
Relaxed or decorative headings
Wendy will recommend a heading that suits the fabric, track or rod and the overall style of your home.
Choosing the right curtain lining
Curtain lining is not simply an optional extra hidden behind the nice fabric.
It can influence:
Warmth
Light control
Privacy
Fabric protection
Fullness and drape
Moisture behaviour
The appearance of the curtain from outside
Wendy considers the room, window, sun exposure and performance you need before recommending a lining.
Curtains designed with Wellington conditions in mind
Wellington homes can present an interesting collection of challenges: strong sun, cold glass, coastal conditions, condensation and windows that appear to have been designed during a moment of architectural enthusiasm.
Wendy understands that a curtain needs to work with the actual window and room.
She will look at track placement, wall clearance, window hardware, airflow and other practical details before recommending a solution.
Frequently asked questions
How much do custom curtains cost?
The cost depends on the width and height of the window, fabric selection, fullness, lining, heading, track or rod and installation requirements.
Wendy will discuss your priorities and provide a tailored quote after measuring the space.
Are thermal curtains worth it?
Thermal curtains and suitable linings can improve comfort and reduce heat transfer through windows. Their effectiveness also depends on fit, length, fullness and installation.
Can sheer curtains provide privacy?
Sheers generally provide daytime privacy when it is brighter outside than inside. At night, interior lighting can reduce that privacy, so they are often paired with lined curtains or blinds.
Can you replace curtains but keep my existing tracks?
Sometimes. Wendy will inspect your existing tracks to determine whether they are suitable for the new curtain weight, style and operation.
Which curtains are best for bedrooms?
Bedrooms often benefit from lined or blockout curtains that support privacy, temperature control and reduced light. Wendy will recommend an option based on the window and the level of darkness you prefer.
