Hay Interiors is a long-established Perth curtain maker based in Nedlands. We’ve been making custom made curtains for Perth homes since 1969, and Ardross — a quiet, established suburb tucked between Applecross and the river’s southern reach, its older brick homes steadily joined by newer builds — is a suburb we’re glad to serve, with Annie bringing the consultation to your door.
Curtains and Roman blinds are made by hand in our workroom; roller blinds, cellular blinds and shutters are made to our exact specification by trusted specialists. The person who advises you is the person who oversees the making.
Ardross wears its age well: solid brick homes from the suburb’s first generation, kept and updated by long-term owners, with newer builds arriving block by block as families rediscover the area’s quiet streets and river proximity. The established homes suit tailored, generous treatments — properly lined curtains, neat Roman blinds and pelmets that give a front room its finish. The newer builds bring open plans and wider glazing, where layered sheer curtains and blockout curtains manage light at scale. Across both, the heading makes the difference between adequate and beautiful — S-fold for relaxed contemporary drape, pinch pleat for structure; our curtain headings & styles page shows the options, and Annie will match them to each room at consultation.
Our showroom and workroom sit together on Stirling Highway in Nedlands, across the river from Ardross — and the service comes to you. Annie consults at your home with samples in hand, everything is made or specified through our own workroom, and after installation any adjustment goes straight back to the people who made your curtains, not a reseller’s service queue. 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.
A pattern we see often in Ardross: owners who’ve been in the home twenty or thirty years, whose curtains have quietly served their time — fabrics faded by decades of western light, tracks tired, styles belonging to another era. Replacing them is one of the highest-impact updates an established home can get, and it deserves better than an off-the-shelf approximation. Annie consults at your windows, in your light; fabrics come brand-agnostically from Warwick, Nettex, Charles Parsons and more; and where the original windows carry period character, her heritage curtains background ensures the new treatment respects it. The result is a familiar home that suddenly feels renewed — without a renovation.
Ardross summers put west-facing rooms to the test, and the right window furnishings do real thermal work. Cellular honeycomb blinds trap air in their structure, insulating against summer heat and winter chill — a genuine running-cost saving in older homes with single glazing. Sunscreen roller blinds cut glare and UV while keeping the garden in view, and motorised curtains on quality Acmeda and Somfy systems make wide or high glazing effortless — worth considering for anyone planning to stay put and age comfortably in a much-loved home.
“The staff at Hay Interiors went above and beyond to assist me in selecting the perfect curtains. Their patience, knowledge, and genuine interest in helping me find the ideal curtains made the selection process both enjoyable and effortless. Their product is 1st class. Very happy.”
