If you’re looking for curtains or blinds in Nedlands, you won’t find anyone more local. Our showroom and workroom sit together on Stirling Highway, where we’ve been making curtains for Perth homes since 1969. For Nedlands residents that means something few suburbs can claim: your curtain maker is genuinely around the corner.
Curtains and Roman blinds are made by hand on the premises. Roller blinds, cellular blinds and shutters are made or imported to our exact specification by trusted specialists. Either way, the person who advises you is the person who oversees the making — from first measure to final fit.
Being based here, our Nedlands work spans everything the suburb holds. In a new apartment on Broadway, we dressed the whole home with tasteful sheers, curtains and motorised roller blinds for effortless daily operation. For a conservatory that other curtain makers had turned away as too difficult, we made and fitted sheer curtains the owners describe as stunning — and our trusted specialist upholsterer re-covered a character wing chair and stool to match, with the pattern matched immaculately. And for a busy beauty salon on Hampden Road, we fitted commercial acoustic curtains through our exclusive Western Australian acoustic fabric partnership, noticeably reducing background noise for staff and clients.
Some of our client relationships in and around Nedlands span more than a decade — from full window treatments through to cushions made in the workroom. That’s the pattern of a genuinely local maker: not one-off transactions, but homes we return to as they evolve.
Every other suburb page on this site talks about how close Nedlands is. On this page, there’s nothing to measure — you’re already here. That changes the whole experience of having curtains made. Choosing fabric doesn’t mean relying on small swatches at your kitchen table: drop into the showroom and workroom and see full-width curtain fabrics in natural light, five minutes from your door. Curious how your curtains are coming along? You’re welcome to call in and watch them take shape on the workroom tables.
It matters after installation, too. If a track needs adjusting, a hook resetting or a hem relaxing once your curtains have settled, we’re not a call centre in another state — we’re your neighbour, and small things get sorted quickly. That’s the quiet advantage of buying from the maker in your own suburb.
Nedlands ranges from character homes on the leafy streets between Stirling Highway and the river to substantial contemporary rebuilds and quality renovations. For period homes, Annie’s heritage training — which included heritage houses and museums in England — delivers traditional lined curtains, tailored pelmets and period-appropriate headings that respect the proportions these rooms deserve; see our heritage curtains page for more. For contemporary homes, layered sheers and blockout curtains give clean lines with real light control, and generous glazing facing the river or garden is an ideal candidate for motorised curtains on quality Acmeda and Somfy systems.
Nedlands has one of the western suburbs’ liveliest apartment scenes, from new developments along Broadway and Stirling Highway to established complexes near the university and hospital precinct. Apartments are a genuine speciality of ours: large glazing, balcony doors, strata considerations and the balance of privacy and light all reward a made-to-measure approach. Soft sheers layered with blockout, neat roller blinds, and acoustic treatments for highway-facing rooms — as the exclusive Western Australian partner of Australia’s leading acoustic fabric supplier, we can roughly halve perceived traffic noise where it matters. And because the workroom is minutes from every apartment in the suburb, measuring, fitting and any follow-up are as simple as it gets.
“We were recommended Annie to install a problematic sheer curtain for our conservatory. Other curtain makers were unable to do so, Annie and her team, Ryan, were able to do so and it looks stunning and exceeding our expectation. We were also requested Annie to re-upholster a character wing chair and stool. Again, Annie and her team, Gary, are amazing. The longest waiting time was for the chosen fabric to arrive, but after that it was a breeze. The work has been immaculate ensuring the pattern is matching and not upside down, and it is not an easy pattern to get right either. We have more work for her team to do shortly to refurbish our silk curtains, and cannot trust anyone else but Annie to do the work. I highly recommend Hay Interiors, and Annie.” — Erick H, Nedlands
