Hay Interiors is a long-established Perth curtain maker based in Nedlands. We’ve been making curtains in Perth since 1969, and Mount Lawley — home to some of the city’s finest Federation and character streetscapes — is a suburb where our heritage expertise genuinely matters. Everything we sell, we make or expertly source, and the person who advises you is the person who oversees the making.
Mount Lawley’s Federation and character homes are among Perth’s most loved — high ceilings, picture rails, tall narrow windows, bay windows, leadlight and original detailing that deserves better than off-the-shelf treatments. Annie’s training in Southampton, England included heritage houses and museums, and that background shows in how she approaches these homes: traditional lined curtains with pinch and goblet pleat headings, tailored pelmets that conceal modern tracks while keeping period character, and the rare decorative styles — London blinds, Austrian blinds and swags & tails — that suit formal Federation rooms beautifully. See our heritage curtains page for more on this speciality, and our curtain fabrics library for period-appropriate fabrics including classic prints through specialist suppliers.
Being a short drive away matters in practical ways. You can visit our Nedlands showroom and workroom to explore hundreds of fabrics in natural light — and often watch curtains being made while you’re there, which tells you more about our standards than any brochure. Annie can be at your Mount Lawley home quickly for a consultation, and returning a fabric sample or checking a detail doesn’t mean crossing the city.
It also matters after installation. If anything ever needs adjusting — a track tuned, a hem revisited after floors are changed — we’re an easy drive away. Mount Lawley clients often tell us that dealing directly with the maker, rather than a sales chain, is what made the difference.
Recent Mount Lawley work shows the suburb’s range. In one character home, we made lined curtains hung over soft sheer curtains on a decorative rod — a classic layered treatment that gives the formality the room deserves with the daytime softness the owners wanted. In another home, a new extension called for a different approach entirely: soft sheers paired with a practical roller blind layer, suiting the contemporary addition while the period front of the home keeps its traditional character.
That mix — heritage front, contemporary rear — is common across Mount Lawley’s renovations, and because everything is made in our workroom, Annie can carry fabrics, colours and details through both parts of the home so it feels considered as a whole.
Mount Lawley’s character and appeal come partly from its energy — the restaurants and bars of Beaufort Street, the proximity to the city, and the life of an inner-suburb that never really goes quiet. For many homes, particularly those closer to Beaufort Street or the busier arterial roads, that energy translates into noise — traffic, late-night activity and the general hum of an active urban neighbourhood.
As the exclusive Western Australian partner of Australia’s leading acoustic fabric supplier, Hay Interiors is uniquely placed to help. Our acoustic curtains make a measurable difference to traffic and street noise — genuinely softening the intrusion rather than merely dampening it slightly. In a Mount Lawley terrace or villa where single-glazed original windows offer little acoustic protection, properly made acoustic curtains are one of the most effective and beautiful upgrades available. Annie advises on whether acoustic fabric suits each room’s needs, and can incorporate it into sheers, lined curtains or Roman blinds so the acoustic performance comes with no compromise on style.
“Annie was fabulous from start to finish, with attentive service and important attention to detail. She really listened to what we were after and provided excellent guidance.” — Jo, Mount Lawley
