Curtains & Sheers
Katandra Interiors are experts when it comes to custom-made curtains and sheers. Offering the best advice on fabrics, pleats, tracking, backings and the finishing touches that perfectly bring your whole look together while meeting your home and lifestyle needs.
Sheer curtains
Sheer curtains have been highly popular in recent years in Australia for good reason. With our temperate weather, sheers are a light and breezy option for maintaining privacy without feeling cloistered by heavy curtains.
Katandra Interiors stock a range of beautiful sheer fabrics from all the best textile houses in Australia and beyond. The growth in the popularity of sheer curtains has also seen a huge advancement in the range of textiles available in the sheers collection of fabrics.
The s-wave pleat is the most popular pleat for sheer curtains, but a more tailored look can be achieved with box pleat or others too. For some added softness or romance to your home, sheer curtains are hard to beat. Functional with form, it is no wonder they have proven so popular.
blockout curtains
When you really need some darkness in your rooms, blockout curtains are a perfect choice. Blockout is achieved by lining your curtains (3 pass blackout) which gives added benefits beside room darkening, such as sound proofing, insulation and improving the volume and fall of your curtains. They also give longevity to your curtain fabrics by protecting them from UV damage – and that goes for your interiors also.
Blockout curtains are perfect for bedrooms where you want to be able to sleep during the waking hours, video or movie rooms or in the study to prevent glare on your screens. They are also perfect for more formal rooms like the dining and lounge room, where they can add an elegant look to your style.
tiebacks, pelmets, swags and tails
Adding extra features to your curtains, such as pelmets, swags and tails, can really make your curtains stand out as an interior look. Pelmets can be made in so many different shapes and sizes these days that they are not only installed for achieving a traditional look. With benefits of hiding tracking, adding a layer of insulation and also protecting your curtains, they really can be a wise addition to your window dressings as well as adding glamour.
Similarly, swag and tails have all the benefits of a pelmet but are usually delivered with a softer flow and so could be considered more traditional in their aesthetic. Complement or contrast with your choice of fabric to make your interiors style your own.
Tiebacks are functional in that they easily allow you to keep your curtains open to expose your view and allow in natural light. However, again there are so many options available with tiebacks from the trimmings, tassels, fabric choice and length that you can elevate the look of your window furnishings.
accessories and tracks
From rods, rings, clips, finials and your tracking system, there are endless possibilities when it comes to the accessories of your curtains. Rods offer a more traditional delivery system, usually complemented with rings and eyelet curtains, adding an attractive finial on each end for a stylish finishing touch.
However, there are so many technically advanced tracking systems now available, that are smooth in operation, whisper quiet and even visually discreet. Ceiling mounted tracks are a modern look and keep your curtain tracking systems hidden from view. They also allow your curtains to literally fall from ceiling to floor.
