Order Custom Made Curtains in Melbourne
The right curtains do more than cover a window. They control light, add privacy and bring the room together, but only when the fabric, heading and fit suit the space. At Ravi Blinds, we offer a range of custom curtains Melbourne homeowners choose to tailor to their bedrooms, living areas and other spaces, including blockout curtains, sheers, Pelmets and Swags and Tails. Our fabric range is extensive, and our style range covers S-Fold Curtains, Pleated Curtains in triple, double, pencil, continuous, inverted and box pleat variations, Eyelet Curtains and Tab Top Curtains.
Every custom made curtains order in Melbourne is measured, manufactured and installed as one service, so the heading style, fabric and drop all arrive matched to the actual window. Below are the major styles we work with, along with the complementary products that round out a finished window.
S-Fold Curtains are one of the most popular styles going, prised for a neat, modern look that’s genuinely simple to live with day to day. That fold comes from the gap between two carriers on the track; nothing more complicated than that, and it’s why the fabric hangs without a single pinch mark along the top.
Our made to measure curtains ensure the fabric width, drop and heading style are calculated specifically for your window, creating a cleaner finish compared to standard curtain sizes.
Pleated Sheers are made by folding and stitching the top of the fabric, and it’s the stitch style, such as triple pleat, double pleat, pencil pleat, that sets the overall look. Stitch spacing stays fairly consistent across all of them, and the finished curtain will hang from rings on a rod just as happily as it runs on a track.
Eyelet Curtains take their name from the metal rings, or “eyes”, set into the top of the fabric. Because the rod passes directly through every ring, this style needs a rod rather than a track, and it delivers a simple, uncluttered look with a distinctive fold pattern.
Tab Top Curtains work on a similar principle to eyelet curtains, swapping the rings for fabric straps. Those gaps between the straps create their own soft folds, and because the straps sit flush against the fabric, a decorative rod with a nice finial ends up part of the finished look instead of hidden away.
Double Curtains combine two curtains, typically one blockout and one sheer, on the same heading. That pairing gives a room the flexibility to run sheer through the day and blockout at night. The fabrics themselves can differ, but the heading style across both usually needs to match, or the layered look won’t sit properly.
Pelmets work with curtains and with several blind types, adding a finished, tailored line across the top of the window. They come in two main forms, bonded or padded, and can be built shaped or straight depending on the rest of the room’s styling.
Swags and Tails have been part of curtain styling for a long time, though demand has tapered off as blinds and simpler curtain headings have taken a larger share of the market. Cost and upkeep are the main reasons, since swags and tails generally need more fabric and more maintenance than the styles above.
How to Choose the Right Curtain Style for Your Home
How the window gets used matters more to picking a style than trend does.
Large or Repeated Windows: S-Fold and Eyelet both read as contemporary and work well across large or repeated windows, since the fold pattern stays consistent along a wide track.
Smaller or Single Windows: Pleated Sheers and Tab Top curtains suit smaller or single windows where a heavier heading would look out of proportion.
Wide or Irregular Openings: For anyone specifically after custom width curtains in Melbourne, wide sliding doors and bay windows are where a made to measure curtains approach pays off most, since standard widths rarely divide evenly across an irregular opening.
Daytime Light and Night-Time Privacy: Double curtains are worth considering wherever a room needs both daytime light and complete night-time privacy from the same window, bedrooms and street-facing living rooms being the two most common examples.
Motorised Curtain Tracks: Motorised curtain tracks are also available for large windows, high ceilings or anywhere a cord or wand isn’t practical to reach, giving the same styles above a remote-controlled option where it’s genuinely useful rather than just a novelty.
