Some projects are straightforward. Others begin with sheets of paper spread across the showroom floor.

For a recent workspace project with Saint Social and AKI Design, we needed to create a custom radial curtain track to form a separate seating area within the space.

Because of the size and shape, it wasn’t possible for it to be transported in one piece. It required a full-size template, careful coordination with the designer and a precise installation to keep the curve consistent.

The finished result looked simple, but a lot of planning happened before the curtains ever went up.

After decades fitting curtains and blinds across Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula and Bayside, we've learned to see trends differently.

Not as fashion cycles. As real decisions, on real windows, with real consequences.

Not something a curtain business would normally say. But sometimes it is genuinely the right advice.

Window furnishings look simple from the outside. In practice, there are a lot of moving parts. And timing matters more than most people realise.

Over the years, some of our best outcomes have come from slowing the process down. Some of our trickiest situations came from moving too quickly. Here is what I have learnt.

Every summer, we see the same thing happen in homes across Melbourne. Rooms heat up fast, and most of the time, it starts with the windows.

The right furnishings can make a noticeable difference, so here’s the advice we give our clients when they ask what actually works.

When selecting curtains and blinds, many homeowners are drawn to options that are considered high-end.

While these window furnishings can look impressive, performance over time depends on more than appearance. In Melbourne homes, factors such as strong sun, colder winters and varying insulation standards all influence how materials behave.

Research shows that up to 40% of a home’s heating energy can be lost through windows, which makes window furnishings an important part of both comfort and efficiency.

The following are three commonly requested options that do not always perform as expected.
