Soft daylight and daytime privacy, in S-fold or pinch pleat sheers made to your windows and fitted in your Sydney home. Book a Free Measure & Quote.
Sheer curtains are lightweight, translucent curtains that soften daylight and give daytime privacy while keeping a room bright. They hang from a track and draw sideways, blurring the view in from the street by day, while you can still see out.
We make custom sheer curtains with S-fold or pinch-pleat headings, measured to your windows, that hang over the blinds you already have.
Every order of sheer curtains that Sydney homeowners place with us starts with a free in-home measure and quote, so you know the price before you commit.
Sheer curtains let daylight in and blur the view from outside, so you get daytime privacy without closing the room up.
The usual fix for privacy or glare is to pull a blind down, and the room goes dim. Bare roller blinds and uncovered glass can also look cold and unfinished, most of all in open-plan rooms and across sliding doors.
A sheer drawn across solves both. The room stays bright and soft, and the window looks finished. If you want the softness of a curtain with the control of a blind, VersaDrape is worth a look.
Yes, sheers can hang in front of the roller blinds or venetians you already have, on their own track. You keep your existing blinds and add softness.
We fit a slim ceiling track or a face-fit track in front of the blind. A face fit simply means the track is fixed to the wall above the window, outside the frame. We check there is enough clearance for the blind to roll and the sheer to draw past it.
Most homes lower the blinds to block midday glare and leave the sheers drawn for the rest of the day. Sheer curtains with blinds give you two choices at one window.
White or ivory sheers suit white blinds, and warmer tones sit well over grey. Full-height sheers make a room feel taller, and matching colour makes blinds and sheer curtains look planned together.
Very shallow window reveals, or handles and window cranks in the way, can stop a track from fitting neatly. The measure checks this before you order.
Hanging sheer curtains over blinds is simple to plan to your measure. If you don’t have blinds yet, our roller blinds can go in first, and we can measure for sheers at the same visit.
Most sheers are made in an S-fold (wave fold) heading on a track, pinch pleat suits a more tailored room, and the weave
sets how much light and view comes through.
S-fold means the fabric hangs in even, continuous waves from the track. S fold sheer curtains stack back neatly to the side when open and suit modern rooms, wide windows and sliding doors. Your consultant confirms the fullness with your quote.

Pinch pleat sheers are stitched into grouped pleats at the top, which fall into tailored, structured folds. They suit formal living rooms and bedrooms where you want a more classic finish, and still let soft light through.

Voile is the finest, lightest weave, letting in the most light with the softest view through. Voile curtains suit south facing rooms that never get harsh sun, and give an airy look in bedrooms and hallways.
Choosing sheer fabrics
Linen look and textured sheers use a denser, natural weave that gives more daytime privacy and a gentler light in north and west facing rooms. For sheer fabric curtains in a sunny room, ask to see this sheer curtain fabric in your own light.

Your room stays full of daylight while the view in from the street is blurred.
A drawn sheer softens strong afternoon sun on screens and faces, so the light stays and the harshness goes.
A sheer turns a bare roller blind or window into a finished, softer look, without replacing the blind.
Here is what Sydney customers say about their sheers, from fitting them over existing blinds to dressing wide sliding doors. Each review is quoted exactly as published on Google.
Every order includes a free measure and quote, sheers made to your measurements, and installation.
The price depends on width, drop, fabric, heading and track, and a measured quote is the only accurate figure. Five things move the price:

Most sheers can be washed gently and cold, then hung back up damp to drip dry, but always follow the fabric's care label. The key to how to wash sheer curtains well is rehanging them damp, so the weight of the hem pulls the folds straight.
It takes four steps from booking to installation.

Only partly. With the lights on inside, shapes and movement show through a sheer after dark. A darker curtain or a blind behind the sheer solves this, and the two options described at the end of our sheer options section cover how.
From outside, mostly no. Daylight outside is brighter than the room, so the sheer reads as a soft screen, while you can still see out. Denser weaves give more daytime privacy than a fine voile.
Yes. A track is fixed to the ceiling or wall in front of the blind, so both work independently. Sheer curtains over roller blinds are a common retrofit, and the styling section above explains colour, clearance and when it will not work.
A sheer curtain is soft fabric on a track that draws sideways. The other term usually means a light filtering fabric on a roller, or a banded blind, that sits in the window. For a blind, see our light filtering blinds.
S-fold hangs in even, continuous waves from a track, while pinch pleat is stitched into grouped pleats for a tailored look. S-fold suits modern rooms and sliding doors. Pinch pleat suits formal living rooms and bedrooms.
Your consultant confirms the lead time from measure to installation with your written quote. It depends on the fabric and heading you choose, and you know the timing before you order.
Take them down and wash them to the fabric's care label as soon as spots appear. Then prevent it coming back: air the room, keep a gap between the sheer and cold glass, and wipe condensation from the window each morning.
Yes, in most cases. Sheer curtains can run on a motorised track that opens and closes them for you. Your consultant confirms the motor and controls for your window, and our motorised curtains page explains how they work.
Not fully. A drawn sheer reduces direct sun on floors and furniture, which helps, but it does not stop fading. Keep the sheer drawn through the sunniest hours for the most benefit.
