Hay Interiors is a long-established Perth curtain maker based in Nedlands. We’ve been making curtains for Perth homes since 1969, and Bicton — the relaxed riverside suburb wrapped around Point Walter, its established family homes joined by a steady run of newer builds — is a suburb whose easy-going character deserves windows dressed just as well. Annie brings the consultation to your door.
Curtains and Roman blinds are made by hand in our workroom; roller blinds, cellular blinds and shutters are made or imported to our exact specification by trusted specialists. The person who advises you is the person who oversees the making.
Bicton takes its rhythm from the river — the sandbar at Point Walter, the foreshore reserve, and behind them a suburb of established family homes on good blocks, renovated with care and joined block by block by newer builds. The established homes suit tailored, generous treatments: properly lined curtains, neat Roman blinds and pelmets that give a living room its finish. The newer builds bring open plans and wider glazing, where layered sheer curtains and blockout curtains manage light at scale, with motorised curtains on quality Acmeda and Somfy systems for the big spans. And across all of them, the heading quietly sets the tone — S-fold for Bicton’s relaxed contemporary feel, pinch pleat where a room wants structure; our curtain headings & styles page shows the difference.
Homes near the foreshore take their light off open water — generous, reflective and harder-working than it looks. River-facing and west-facing rooms cop strong afternoon sun and bounce-back glare, so fabrics need genuine UV stability to hold their colour, and glare control shouldn’t cost the view: sunscreen roller blinds cut the harshness while keeping Point Walter in the frame, and double roller blinds add a blockout layer on the same bracket for night. Deeper into the suburb, the tree canopy softens everything and lighter, more open weaves come into their own. Annie assesses each room’s real light at the in-home consultation and specifies accordingly, drawing brand-agnostically on Warwick, Nettex, Charles Parsons and more.
Our showroom and workroom sit together on Stirling Highway in Nedlands — down the river from Bicton, an easy run over the bridge — and the service comes to you. Annie consults at your windows, in your light, with samples in hand; everything is then made or specified through our own workroom, so questions, adjustments and after-care go straight to the people responsible for the result. When you’d like to choose fabric properly, the showroom and workroom welcomes visitors — handle full-width curtain fabrics rather than judging by swatch, and take samples home to test in the rooms they’ll live in.
Bicton lives outdoors — the foreshore, the pool at Bicton Baths, boats at Point Walter jetty and caravans in driveways ready for the next trip south. The workroom serves that life beyond the windows: outdoor cushions in weather- and fade-resistant fabrics for alfresco areas, window-seat and scatter cushions that carry an interior scheme through, and — a genuine rarity in Perth — boat and caravan curtains, made with the same care as the curtains in your living room. One workroom across home, deck, boat and van means fabrics and colours coordinate properly, not approximately.
“The second time I have used Hay Interiors, first for curtain replacement, second for roller blind replacement, in both cases I have been very pleased with the chosen materials and colours (on Annie’s advice), the installation service was excellent.”

A pairing we use often in Applecross: soft sheers for daytime glare and privacy, with motorised roller blinds that vanish when not needed — exactly the solution we fitted in a new build on Melville Beach Road. Sunscreen fabrics are another option, keeping the view through the blind itself.
