Curtains & Blinds in Concord
Custom-made window furnishings for Federation homes, California bungalows and modern renovations — sized for tall sash windows, bay windows and wide living-room openings, and made at our Homebush West workshop just up the road.
From Parramatta Road to the leafy streets behind St Luke's
The suburb's character is written into its buildings. The grand brick façade of St Mary's Catholic Church on Parramatta Road and the older sandstone-and-slate lines of St Luke's Anglican Church anchor a neighbourhood where period detail still matters — and the homes around them were built in the same spirit.
That's why off-the-shelf window coverings so often disappoint here. Ceilings are higher, windows taller and narrower, arches and leadlight need respecting, and every opening seems to be a slightly different size. Every order we make is measured for the specific window it will hang in.
-
Heritage-sympathetic finishes
Timber venetians and plantation shutters suit period rooms far better than glossy modern alternatives — warmth and proportion that sit right in a bungalow.
-
Tall, narrow & arched windows
Made-to-measure means we work with the window you have — including the awkward ones renovation after renovation has left behind.
-
Street-facing presentation
In conservation-minded pockets, what the street sees matters. We help you choose linings and colours that keep the front of the house consistent.
Four things older Concord homes ask of their windows
Federation homes and bungalows were built long before double glazing and open-plan living. Here's where window furnishings do the heavy lifting.
Single-glazed heat loss
Original windows leak warmth in winter and let heat pour in through summer. A lined or thermal curtain is the single most effective upgrade you can make without touching the glass.
Parramatta Road noise
Homes near the main road and busy through-streets benefit from heavy, full-length fabric. Dense blockout curtains soften traffic noise in a way hard blinds simply can't.
Privacy on close blocks
Neighbouring houses sit close and side windows face each other. Sheers give you daylight without the fishbowl feeling; venetians let you tilt light up and eyes out.
Old meets new extension
Rear extensions bring wide glass sliders that look nothing like the front rooms. We help you carry one visual language across both halves of the house.
Curtains & blinds made for Concord homes
Everything is custom-made to your window. Browse a category below, or let us recommend room by room during your free measure.
Sheer Curtains
Soften strong western light in front rooms while keeping daytime privacy from the street. Beautiful over tall sash and bay windows.
ExploreBlockout Curtains
Full-length blockout adds darkness, warmth and noise absorption — the go-to for bedrooms in older single-glazed homes.
ExploreRoller Blinds
Clean and easy to live with. Blockout for bedrooms, light-filtering for living areas; double rollers give day-and-night control in one bracket.
ExploreVenetian Blinds
Timber brings warmth to period living rooms; PVC and aluminium wipe clean for kitchens and bathrooms. Tilt for precise light and privacy.
ExploreVertical Blinds
The practical answer for wide sliding doors in rear extensions and alfresco areas — slats rotate for light and slide clear for access.
ExplorePlantation Shutters
A permanent, high-end finish that suits period façades and adds resale appeal. Adjustable louvres handle light, privacy and airflow together.
ExploreAwnings & Outdoor
Deep backyards and alfresco extensions call for shade. Retractable awnings and outdoor blinds cut heat before it reaches the glass.
ExploreMotorisation
High ceilings mean high windows. Motorised blinds and curtains handle the ones you can't comfortably reach, and remove cords for child safety.
ExploreFlyscreens & Security
Keep the breeze and keep the bugs out. Security doors and window screens suit ground-level homes and back entries alike.
ExploreCurtains or blinds — which suits your home?
Both control light and privacy; they just do it differently. Here's the honest comparison we give customers on site.
| What matters | Curtains | Blinds |
|---|---|---|
| Insulation & warmth | Stronger. Full-length lined fabric traps air at the window — a real advantage in older single-glazed homes. | Moderate. Helps, but warmth escapes around the edges of the blind. |
| Light control precision | Open or closed, with sheers layered in front for in-between. | Stronger. Tilt slats or part-raise for fine adjustment through the day. |
| Full darkness | Stronger. Blockout fabric with generous overlap blocks nearly all light. | Good, though some light typically enters at the sides. |
| Noise softening | Stronger. Heavy fabric absorbs traffic noise — useful near main roads. | Limited. Hard surfaces reflect rather than absorb sound. |
| Kitchens & bathrooms | Less suitable in steam and splash zones. | Stronger. PVC and aluminium wipe clean easily. |
| Period-home character | Soft folds suit formal front rooms and high ceilings. | Timber venetians and shutters suit heritage detail beautifully. |
| Space at the window | Needs wall space either side to stack back. | Stronger. Fits neatly inside the reveal. |
Our usual answer: both. Layering a sheer or blind with a blockout curtain gives you daytime view, night-time privacy and winter warmth on the same window. Six rooms, six quick decisions
Warmer winters, cooler summers — without touching the glass
Most homes here still have their original single-glazed windows. Replacing them is expensive and, in period homes, often undesirable. Lined and thermal curtains are the practical alternative: they sit in front of the glass, trap a layer of still air, and make the room noticeably more comfortable at both ends of the year.
Fitting out an investment property?
The local mix of family homes, duplexes and renovated apartments makes this a strong rental market — and window furnishings are one of the first things prospective tenants notice at an inspection. They also sit in a category many owners overlook at tax time.
We regularly supply landlords and property managers across the Inner West, and can quote whole-property packages so every room is consistent.

Do you supply curtains and blinds in Concord, NSW?

What suits a Federation home or California bungalow?
Period homes generally look best with soft, full-length curtains in formal front rooms, and timber venetian blinds or plantation shutters where you want to keep the architectural character visible. Modern rear extensions can take a cleaner treatment such as roller or vertical blinds. Many homes use a combination, and we'll help you carry one look across both.
Can window furnishings help with my old single-glazed windows?
Significantly, yes. Lined and thermal curtains trap a layer of air against the glass, keeping warmth in during winter and blocking heat in summer — without the cost of replacing period windows. Browse the thermal blinds & curtains range or read our winter insulation guide.
Will curtains reduce noise from Parramatta Road?
Heavy, full-length blockout curtains absorb a noticeable amount of traffic noise, particularly when they extend beyond the window frame and reach the floor. Hard blinds reflect sound rather than absorb it, so for road-facing rooms we usually recommend a fabric-based solution, sometimes layered over a blind.
Curtains or blinds — which should I choose?
Curtains lead on insulation, full darkness and noise; blinds lead on precise light control, wet areas and fitting neatly inside the reveal. Most homes benefit from both, layered on the same window. Read curtains vs blinds — six rooms, six quick decisions.
Do you handle tall, arched or unusually sized windows?
Yes — everything is made to measure at our own workshop, so unusual sizes are routine rather than a problem. Our installer measures each opening individually, which matters in older homes where no two windows are quite the same.
Are your blinds and curtains child-safe?
We supply cordless and motorised options that keep looped cords out of reach, in line with Australian child-safety requirements. If you have young children or pets, mention it at your measure and we'll recommend the safest operation for each room.
Can I measure and install myself?
Absolutely. Many customers order DIY and fit their own. Use our measuring guide to get it right first time, then follow the installation guide. There is also a DIY curtains & blinds range.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes. We regularly fit out investment properties across the Inner West and can quote a whole property in one visit. Owners may also be able to claim depreciation — see our guide to tax deductions on curtains and blinds, and confirm with your accountant.
