Curtains Potts Point

Potts Point is one of Sydney's densest and most characterful pockets, all tree-lined streets and grand art-deco apartment blocks. Living close to your neighbours in a period building brings its own window puzzle: how to get privacy and control the light while respecting the proportions and original details these apartments are loved for. We make curtains and blinds to fit those windows exactly, install them with our own team, and guarantee the fabric for five years. The service holds a straight 5.0 across more than a hundred local reviews.

Dressing a Potts Point apartment

The typical home here is a flat in an interwar or art-deco block, often with high ceilings, generous proportions and windows that were never a standard size. Two things shape the brief. Privacy comes first, because Macleay Street and the surrounding blocks sit close together and windows frequently look onto a neighbour or straight down to the footpath. Light comes second, since many of these apartments rely on a few good windows and you do not want to trade away the daylight you have. A made-to-measure treatment respects the original window and solves both, where a generic off-the-shelf blind rarely fits the older openings cleanly.

Privacy without losing the light

For living rooms and any window facing a neighbour or the street, a sheer curtain is usually the answer, screening the room by day while keeping it bright. Where you want a firmer daytime screen, a translucent fabric gives more cover while still passing light. In bedrooms, add a blockout for night-time darkness. On the heading, the high ceilings of a deco apartment suit either a long, clean wavefold or, for a more classic look in keeping with the period, a pinch pleat.

Blinds for the smaller rooms

Kitchens, studies and bathrooms in these apartments are often compact, and a neat blind is usually the better fit. A roller blind keeps things simple, a roman blind adds a softer fabric finish, and a venetian lets you angle light and privacy in a room overlooked by another building. See the full blinds range for the options. For tall deco windows that are awkward to reach, motorisation makes daily use easy.

How we work in an apartment block

Everything starts at your flat. A consultant looks at how each room faces, what it looks onto, and how much light it gets, then measures precisely, which matters in older buildings where no two windows quite match. You get a clear quote, we make it to size, and our own installers fit it, usually within about three weeks. We coordinate access through building management so the whole job is done in a single, tidy visit.

Why Potts Point locals choose us

We are used to period apartment living, the older window shapes, the close-neighbour privacy, and the wish to keep an apartment's original character intact. One consultant runs your job from measure to install, the fitting is done by our own crew, and the fabric is covered for five years, with a 5.0 review record behind it. The consultation and quote are free and come to you.

Potts Point curtains and blinds FAQs:

How do I get privacy in an apartment that looks onto neighbours? 

A sheer curtain screens the room during the day while keeping it bright, and a translucent fabric gives a firmer screen if windows sit very close to a neighbour. Add a blockout in bedrooms for full cover at night.

Do you work with art-deco and period apartment windows? 

Yes. We make curtains and blinds to fit the original window shapes common in Potts Point blocks, rather than forcing a standard size, and we work within any building conditions.

What suits the high ceilings in these apartments?

Long wavefold curtains give a clean, modern hang, while pinch pleat is the more traditional choice that sits well with the period detailing. We advise per room at the measure.
