Curtains Canberra
The right curtains can change how a room feels entirely – adding warmth, controlling light and giving a space a sense of being finished. Elite Window Furnishings designs, makes and installs custom curtains for Canberra homes and businesses, from soft sheer fabrics that diffuse morning light to fully lined blockout curtains built for Canberra’s cold winters.
Choose elegant,
high-quality curtains
A well-chosen curtain does more than cover a window. It anchors a room, softens harsh light and adds a layer of insulation that makes a genuine difference in Canberra’s cooler months – particularly in homes with single-glazed windows, which most Canberra properties have.
We work with you to choose fabrics, linings, heading styles and hardware that fit your space and budget – whether that’s a light linen sheer for a lounge room or a fully interlined curtain for a master bedroom.
We service all Canberra suburbs including Belconnen, Tuggeranong, Gungahlin and Woden.
Sheer curtains Canberra
Sheer curtains soften natural light while maintaining daytime privacy – giving you the brightness of an open room without the exposure. They’re particularly popular in north-facing Canberra living rooms, where morning and afternoon sun can be intense. Pair them with blockout curtains behind for a layered solution that works across all times of day and all seasons.
Blockout curtains Canberra
Blockout curtains are the strongest performing option for insulation – and in Canberra, where winter mornings can be well below zero, that thermal benefit is worth taking seriously. A properly lined, custom-made blockout curtain significantly reduces heat loss through the window, keeping bedrooms warmer and reducing heating costs. They’re also the go-to choice for media rooms and shift workers who need genuine light control at any time of day.
Custom made and professionally installed
Off-the-shelf curtains rarely fit well or hang flat – and they can’t provide the insulation that a made-to-measure, lined curtain delivers. Our team visits your home with fabric samples, takes precise measurements and helps you work through lining options, heading styles and hardware – so every decision is made in the context of your actual space.
Once your curtains are made, we install tracks, rods and all fittings, then hang and dress each panel to ensure correct drop, level hang and smooth operation. Any adjustments are made on the spot.
Transform your home
Our team works closely with you to understand your space, your style and how you live – so the curtains we deliver don’t just look stunning, they genuinely work for your home.
From subtle textures that soften a space to statement fabrics that anchor a room, each curtain is custom-made with care, precision and an eye for detail. With professional installation and guidance throughout, you can feel confident every step of the way.

Why choose Elite for curtains in Canberra?
We bring samples to your home and help you choose fabric weight, lining and heading style in the context of your actual rooms - not a showroom with different lighting.
A properly lined curtain provides significantly better insulation than an unlined one. In Canberra, where temperatures regularly drop below zero, this translates to a warmer room and a lower heating bill.
Every pair is cut and sewn to your exact window height and width. The result hangs flat, operates smoothly and looks intentional - not adjusted.
We design and install both layers as a coordinated system — track, hardware and fabric - so everything works together from day one.
Seeing fabric samples in your own light, with your furniture and walls, is the only way to choose curtains confidently. Our in-home consultations are part of the free measure process.

Sheer curtains are best for light filtering and daytime privacy, while blockout curtains provide full privacy and light control. Many Canberra homes combine both for flexibility
Yes - particularly in Canberra, where single-glazed windows are common and winters are cold. A blockout curtain with a quality lining creates a thermal barrier at the window that significantly reduces heat loss. For maximum performance, combining a blockout curtain with a floor-to-ceiling drop and a pelmet (which seals the top gap) can make a measurable difference to room temperature and heating costs.
Yes. We service all Canberra regions, including Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden Valley and Tuggeranong.
For Canberra bedrooms, a fully lined blockout curtain with a floor-to-ceiling drop is the most effective option - both for light control and insulation. Fabric with a separate blackout lining performs better than a coated blockout fabric, as it's more durable and easier to replace if the lining deteriorates over time. Adding a pelmet at the top prevents light from spilling in above the curtain rod and improves thermal performance. We carry a full range of blockout fabrics and lining options and can show you samples at your in-home measure.
