Curtains Surry Hills

Few Sydney suburbs mix their housing like Surry Hills does. In a single block you can find a narrow Victorian terrace, a converted warehouse with four-metre industrial windows, and a modern apartment above a Crown Street cafe. Each one wants a different answer at the window, and none of them fits a standard-size product off a shelf. We measure, make and install curtains, blinds and shutters to suit exactly what you have, fit them with our own team, and guarantee the fabric for five years. The service is rated a flat 5.0 across more than a hundred local reviews.

One suburb, three very different homes

The Surry Hills terrace is the classic: tall, slim windows, high ceilings, and a front room that often sits close to a busy street, so privacy matters from day one. The warehouse and loft conversions are the opposite problem, huge panes of glass and soaring ceilings that flood the space with light and need treatments built at a scale most suppliers do not stock. And the newer apartments sit somewhere between, compact and light-filled, wanting something clean that does not crowd the room. Getting any of them right starts with an accurate measure, because in Surry Hills the windows are rarely twice the same.

Curtains for a Surry Hills home

Curtains soften a hard-edged inner-city interior better than anything, which is why they suit both the period terraces and the raw brick of a warehouse conversion. Our custom made curtains are cut to your windows and your fabric, and you can explore the full curtain fabric range before you decide.

For the front rooms and anywhere facing the street, sheer curtains hold daytime privacy while keeping the light, and a blockout layer behind them turns a bedroom properly dark at night. Where you want light in but eyes out without going fully sheer, a translucent fabric sits in between. On the heading, a wavefold curtain gives the clean, even ripple that suits a warehouse or a modern apartment, while a pinch pleat or a box pleat heading is the more tailored, traditional choice for a period terrace.

Blinds for a Surry Hills home

Blinds handle the working rooms and the tighter spaces well, and they pair happily with curtains elsewhere in the same home. Have a look at the full blinds range to see what suits. Roller blinds are the simple, versatile pick, in sunscreen fabric to cut glare on a sunny apartment aspect, or a translucent blind for a softer filter. Roman blinds bring a fabric softness to a kitchen or study, and venetian blinds, including timber-look PVC that handles a bathroom's moisture, let you angle the light exactly where you want it.

Shutters and automation

For a permanent, architectural look that suits both a heritage terrace and a warehouse conversion, plantation shutters are worth considering, and they add insulation and privacy without a fabric to maintain. And for the tall warehouse windows and high loft glass that are a pain to reach, motorisation lets a whole bank of curtains or blinds run on a remote or a set schedule.

Light and privacy, terrace versus warehouse

The two signature Surry Hills homes need opposite thinking. In a terrace, light is often scarce and privacy tight, so the aim is to screen the street while giving up as little daylight as possible, usually with a sheer or a light roller. In a warehouse conversion the problem flips: there is often too much light and heat through oversized glass, and the treatment has to manage glare and afternoon heat while matching the scale of the space, where blockout curtains or large-format blinds earn their place. We plan around whichever you have, room by room, at the measure.

How we work

There is no showroom visit. A consultant comes to your Surry Hills home, reads how each room faces and what the windows need, and measures precisely, which matters more here than most places given the range of window sizes. You get a clear, itemised quote, we build everything to your measurements, and our own installers fit it, usually within about three weeks. In an apartment or warehouse block, we arrange building access so it is done in one visit.

Why Surry Hills locals choose us

We are comfortable across the whole spread of Surry Hills housing, from a slim terrace window to a warehouse pane you need a ladder for. One consultant runs your job start to finish, the fitting is done by our own crew, and the fabric is guaranteed for five years, with a review record sitting at 5.0. The first consultation and quote are free and happen at your place.

Surry Hills curtains and blinds FAQs

What window treatments suit a warehouse conversion in Surry Hills?

Oversized industrial windows do best with large-format blinds or blockout curtains that manage glare and heat and are built to the scale of the glass. Motorisation is worth adding for panes that are too high to reach comfortably.

What are the best curtains for a Surry Hills terrace?

Tall, narrow terrace windows suit treatments cut to proportion, a sheer or light roller for the street-facing rooms and a blockout layer in bedrooms. Made to measure keeps them from looking squeezed.

Can you do curtains and blinds in the same home?

Yes, and most Surry Hills homes end up with a mix, curtains in the living and bedrooms and blinds in the kitchens, bathrooms and studies, all chosen to work together.

How much do custom curtains and blinds cost here?

It depends on the fabric, the style, and the number and size of your windows, which vary a lot in this suburb. You get an itemised quote after the in-home measure, before anything is made.
