Plenty of Perth curtain shops use the words custom made. Often it means your measurements are sent to a factory interstate — or overseas — and something arrives weeks later. At Hay Interiors, custom made curtains means exactly what it says: measured at your windows, cut and sewn by hand in our Nedlands workroom, and fitted by the same team. The difference isn’t just what we make — it’s how we make it, and how we work with you.
Most shops order their curtains in. We cut, sew and finish our custom curtains and Roman blinds in the workroom attached to our Nedlands showroom — complete control over quality and detail, faster turnaround, and craftsmanship you can watch while you visit. It also lets us offer complex traditional styles that need specialised skills.
Annie doesn’t simply take an order. She is herself a curtain maker and consults personally with every client — in the showroom or your home — on your windows, the light, your privacy and lifestyle, and the character of your home. Her guidance on fabric, style, heading, lining and suitability is what turns a good result into a beautiful, lasting one. It’s why Perth’s interior designers bring their clients to her. Annie is a Member of the Design Institute of Australia, Australia’s peak body for design professionals, and Hay Interiors is a Registered Design Entity member.
Hay Interiors is the exclusive Western Australian partner for Australia’s leading acoustic window furnishing supplier. That means acoustic curtains with independently measured performance — fabrics rated to NRC 0.90 in University of Sydney testing — rather than a heavy curtain sold on the assumption it will help.
It also means the right diagnosis. Noise coming in from a busy road is a different problem from echo bouncing around a hard room, and the two need different treatments. Annie will tell you which one you have, what will fix it, and when it isn’t worth doing.
Made to measure is only half the story — what it’s made of matters just as much. We make proper, sewn Roman blinds and curtains from quality curtain fabrics — not simplified versions using roller-blind materials — for superior drape, appearance and durability. We also hold rare expertise in decorative styles such as London Blinds, Austrian Blinds and Festoon Blinds.
Because we make rather than resell, we aren’t locked to one supplier’s range. Our curtain fabrics library draws on trusted names like Warwick, Nettex and Charles Parsons alongside designer collections through Australia’s leading distributors — so Annie recommends the right fabric for your home, not just the brand on the shelf.
Annie’s English training and decades of experience give her a deep feel for window treatments sympathetic to the proportions and detailing of Perth’s heritage homes. We regularly work in Dalkeith, Peppermint Grove, Subiaco and Mount Lawley, and on special heritage projects — see Heritage Curtains.
“From the very first consultation through to the final installation, the entire process was handled with exceptional professionalism and care. Annie took the time to understand our vision, offered thoughtful design suggestions, and ensured every detail aligned perfectly with our space and branding.“
— Cade Eglington, Cleaver Group, West Perth
“Really happy with her work. She made some sound-deadening curtains for our high-end showroom on Stirling Highway. They look great and really elevated the look of the place. Highly recommend.“
— Decking Perth, Mosman Park

The best way to begin is to visit our showroom in Nedlands. You can explore hundreds of fabric samples, see finished examples, and often watch work happening in the attached workroom. Annie or a member of the team is always happy to talk through possibilities and answer questions.
Alternatively, we can arrange an in-home consultation at a time that suits you. This has the advantage of enabling us to consider your actual windows and provide advice on the best window dressings for your space.
Either way, the advice is about what’s right for your home rather than what’s easiest or most expensive to sell — which is why clients come back, and why Perth’s design community sends work our way. Every job gets the same care, large or small.
We look forward to helping you create window furnishings you will love for many years to come.
No — our curtains and Roman blinds are made in our own Nedlands workroom. Roller blinds, shutters and upholstery are sourced from trusted specialists, with our expertise in selection, coordination and installation.
Annie trained in traditional curtain making in England and is experienced with period windows and the decorative styles — London, Austrian, Festoon, Swags & Tails — that suit Federation, Victorian and Edwardian homes.
Because they deal directly with the maker — Annie both consults and oversees the making — and because we offer rare traditional styles, genuine acoustic expertise and flexible trade arrangements that most curtain shops can’t match.
It depends on fabric, size, lining and heading style, which is why we don’t publish a price list — but custom made doesn’t automatically mean expensive. Annie’s consultation is free, the quote is without obligation, and her advice includes where to spend and where to save.
We’re the exclusive Western Australian partner for Acoustic Blinds and Curtains, whose fabrics are independently tested — rated to NRC 0.90 for sound absorption at the University of Sydney, and measured for noise reduction at UTS Tech Labs. Most acoustic curtains sold in Perth are simply heavy curtains. Ours come with test reports.
