Hay Interiors is a long-established Perth curtain maker based in Nedlands, an easy drive from Floreat through the western suburbs. We’ve been making custom made curtains for Perth homes since 1969 — almost as long as Floreat’s garden-suburb streets have existed — and the suburb’s mix of original mid-century homes and substantial rebuilds is territory we know well.
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.
Floreat was planned as a garden suburb and still reads as one — wide streets, parkland on every side, and a housing story told in two chapters. The first: original 1950s and 60s homes, many beautifully kept, whose clean horizontal lines and generous windows suit equally clean treatments — simple track-hung curtains, crisp sheer curtains and unfussy Roman blinds that honour the era rather than dressing over it. The second: the rebuild generation, substantial family homes with wide glazing and open plans, where layered sheers and blockout curtains deliver light control at scale and motorised curtains on quality Acmeda and Somfy systems handle the big spans. Many of these rebuilds arrive with an interior designer’s brief attached — Perth’s designers bring Floreat projects to our workroom from drawings stage, and owners coming to us directly get exactly the same standard.
Our showroom and workroom sit together on Stirling Highway in Nedlands — an easy drive from Floreat, close enough to fold into a trip toward the highway or the river. Visit the showroom and workroom to handle full-width curtain fabrics in person, then take samples home the same day to judge them in your own rooms and your own light. When it’s time to measure, quote or fit, we’re nearby rather than across the city, and if anything needs adjusting once your curtains have settled in, it’s a short trip for us — the working rhythm of a local Perth curtain shop that actually makes what it sells.
Floreat is family territory, and its windows work hard. Children’s bedrooms need real darkness — proper blockout made to the window, not approximately near it — for early bedtimes and bright summer mornings. Living areas facing the garden want light without glare; sunscreen roller blinds and light-filtering layers manage both. Cord-free operation matters with small children, which is one more argument for motorisation or cellular honeycomb blinds — the latter adding genuine insulation against summer heat, a real consideration in wide-windowed rebuilds. These are the practical calls Annie makes at consultation, drawing brand-agnostically on Warwick, Nettex, Charles Parsons and more.
Ringed by Perry Lakes, Bold Park and its own tree-lined verges, Floreat gets a generous, green-filtered light that many suburbs would envy — but its western edge sits close enough to the coast to cop serious afternoon sun. The difference matters fabric by fabric: shaded, park-facing rooms can afford open weaves and lighter sheers; west-facing rooms need UV-stable fabrics and protective linings that hold colour and structure for years. Annie assesses each room’s real light at the in-home consultation, at the times of day you actually live in it, and specifies accordingly.
“We are very pleased with our newly installed curtains and blind. Annie was very knowledgeable and helped us to select appropriate product and style.”
