The fabric you choose affects everything — how light filters or is blocked, how the curtains drape and move, how they feel in the room, and how they age. Choosing the right fabric is one of the most important decisions in creating curtains you’ll love for years, and it’s where Annie’s expertise adds the most value.
Because we make rather than resell, we aren’t locked to any single supplier’s range. Our fabric library draws on trusted names such as Warwick, Nettex, Charles Parsons and Hoad, alongside designer collections accessed through Australia’s leading distributors — and, where it suits a project, fabric you or your designer supply yourselves. It means Annie can recommend the right fabric for your home, not just the brand on the shelf.
Annie doesn’t just show you pretty swatches — she explains how each fabric will behave in your windows:
Many clients arrive thinking they know what fabric they want, and leave with something quite different — and better — because Annie has shown them how their first choice would actually behave in their specific windows and light conditions.
For period homes, Annie sources sympathetic fabrics including classic Victorian-style prints through specialist suppliers such as Slender Morris — a well-priced source of traditional designs that suit Federation, Victorian and Edwardian interiors. See our heritage curtains page for more on dressing character and period properties.
For acoustic applications, our exclusive Western Australian partnership with Australia’s leading acoustic fabric supplier gives us access to specialist fabrics unavailable elsewhere in Perth — see acoustic curtains.
Fabric is tactile. The best way to choose is to visit our showroom, handle the fabrics, see how they filter or block light, and compare options side by side in natural light. We provide take-home samples so you can see them in your own rooms at different times of day — which often makes the final decision much clearer.
Once fabric is chosen, we discuss curtain headings, linings, motorisation and curtain accessories to complete the specification.
The best way to begin is to visit our showroom in Nedlands. You can explore hundreds of fabric samples in natural light, 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, you will receive honest, expert guidance focused entirely on what is right for your windows and your home.
We look forward to helping you create window furnishings you will love for many years to come.
Fabrics with good colourfastness and UV resistance are important, especially for west-facing and coastal windows. Annie recommends specific ranges that hold colour and structure under strong WA light — something she assesses for every fabric in our library.
Yes. Alongside dependable ranges like Warwick and Nettex, we access designer collections through Australia’s leading distributors. Because we’re not tied to one brand, we source widely to suit each project.
Often, yes — on a case-by-case basis. Annie checks the fabric is suitable for the intended treatment before proceeding, which is particularly useful for interior designers working to a specific scheme.
