1300 034 818Coogee has a gentler, more family feel than its neighbours up the coast, but it shares the same two demands on window furnishing: handle a lot of bright sea light, and survive the salt that comes with it. We make curtains and blinds to the exact measurements of your home, install them with our own team rather than handing it to a contractor, and guarantee the fabric for five years. The service holds a perfect 5.0 from more than a hundred reviews.
Two things shape the right answer here. The first is the property itself. Coogee is split between ocean-view apartments perched along the cliffs and headland, and the family houses and semis set back through the streets towards Randwick. Cliff-top flats deal with wide, view-facing glass and very strong light, while the houses behind have more conventional windows but the same coastal exposure. The second is aspect. An east-facing room over the water takes fierce morning light, while afternoon sun loads up the west-facing rooms. We plan the treatment around both, which is a large part of why the in-home measure matters more than a phone quote ever could.
For the ocean-facing living rooms, sheers or sunscreen blinds take the sting out of the glare while leaving the view and the daylight intact. Bedrooms get a blockout layer so mornings stay dark despite that strong easterly sun. Where a room has to do both, we layer the two on a single track. And because Coogee is a family suburb, child-safe cordless or motorised operation is worth specifying in kids' rooms and living areas from the start.
Coastal homes are where cutting corners on materials bites hardest. Sea air corrodes flimsy tracks, and constant sun bleaches fabrics that were never built to hold colour. Spending a little more on fade-stable fabric and corrosion-resistant hardware is the difference between a treatment that still looks right in five years and one you are replacing in two. For a family home, that is usually the better value over time, and we will walk you through where it is worth it and where it is not.
Soft options like sheer and blockout curtains and translucent fabrics, glare-tamers like sunscreen roller blinds, and firmer choices in roller, roman and venetian blinds. High cliff-top windows are good candidates for motorisation. Browse our recent work.
It starts at your place, not ours. We look at how each room sits with the sun and the sea, measure precisely, and give you a plain quote with no surprises. Approve it and we build everything to your measurements, then our installers fit it, usually within about three weeks. In an apartment block, we arrange the access with the building so it is done in a single visit.
Materials chosen for the coast, one consultant start to finish, installation by our own crew, five years of fabric cover, and a review score sitting at a clean 5.0. The consultation and quote are free and come to you.

Sheers or sunscreen blinds for the ocean-facing daytime rooms, blockout in the bedrooms for those bright easterly mornings, and fade-stable fabrics throughout. The material grade counts for as much as the style near the water.
For rooms used by children, cordless or motorised operation removes the cord safety risk and is easier to use day to day. It is worth specifying in kids' rooms and main living areas.
It varies with fabric, blind or heading type, and the number and size of your windows, so we quote after measuring. You see an itemised price before anything is ordered or made.
Yes. Fade-stable fabrics and salt-tolerant hardware are made to hold up to sun and sea air, so a Coogee home is not re-doing its window treatments every couple of years.

My experience with The Curtain Lab is not one you would expect…
I had a need to have the curtains in my two bedrooms cleaned.
This requires them to be done professionally as they are large and heavy, making it difficult for me to handle. They also need to be done when I am away as the bedrooms are exposed to the street.
My Dry Cleaners are excellent, whereby they come and take them down and return them in beautiful condition to rehang, all before I return home.
I had been home a few days, curtains looking lovely, had gone out for the day and when I arrived home the curtain in my bedroom had collapsed leaving the track badly bent with half the curtain hanging from it.
I emailed The Curtain Lab on a Sunday and on the Monday a young lady by the name of Andrea responded, by telephone, to my email. She arranged to meet me on the Wednesday of that week.
Andrea was obviously expecting me to arrange to purchase new curtains but on inspection she new this was not necessary. She said to me “I will take a close look and see what I can do for you”.
Of course, I was not expecting this and was happy to arrange for a new track to be installed.
Andrea did manage to re-position the track albeit still bent but the curtain is sliding along freely……for now.
Needless to say, I am delighted and have no hesitation in recommending The Curtain Lab to anyone. I will definitely call Andrea when I decide to change the look of my bedroom.
Thank You Andrea ???? Christine From Millers Point
Professional, warm, and efficient with a wonderful result at the end. Highly recommended.
Our experience with the Curtain Lab was excellent. Great communication, wonderful style recommendations, speedy service and great product. Our new curtains and roller blinds look amazing. Definitely recommend contacting the Curtain Lab for window coverings!
Great service, quality of product and value! Andrea went above and beyond to bring my vision for my attic to life despite the challenging angles involved. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone!
I have NEVER posted a review before and always read reviews with a grain of salt; but it would be very unfair for me not to this time. I got my first home and needed help with curtains. I am so thankful that by divine intervention I decided to hold off on my previous choice and then met Andrea. Andrea was a godsend.
She is not only a lovely person but also patient and very accommodating - making multiple phone calls and trips, extremely understanding of my demanding work schedule. This is the most genuine and honest review you would ever find! I can't recommend her enough!
Andrea was incredibly helpful and knew her stuff. Very nice to have someone help you that you trust, knowing they have your best interests at heart!
Thank you Andrea. We couldn’t be happier with our new sheers. We were so impressed with your professionalism and the outstanding results. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone looking for new curtains.
Thank you to Andrea and the Curtain Lab team! I'm super happy with the job and they're so helpful. The curtains are so lovely. Definitely recommend!
