Feeling the solar power in Elwood ☀️

The brief was to create sheer wavefold curtains to soften the windows between our client’s living and dining spaces and their balcony. The key was bringing a sense of warmth, movement, and connection to the home.

We use Warwick’s Calais in Oatmeal for this treatment, a beautifully textured sheer that filters natural light while adding a soft, calming layer to the space. The best thing about this one? Every hour now feels like golden hour.

Interestingly, Calais in Oatmeal is the exact fabric featured in the project we shared last week. There, we used the same fabric as tailored Roman shades, creating a neat, structured and refined finish. This is where knowledge and passion make all the difference.

One beautiful fabric, two treatments, two very different moods – all carefully considered and expertly crafted. If you’re looking to bring some of this thoughtful design to your space, get in touch with our team. Let’s explore what’s possible.

Keeping it refined and relaxed in Malvern 😌

For this project, we created two Roman blinds to dress tall, narrow windows flanking our customer’s bed. This was a simple yet elegant solution that enhanced the proportions of the space (particularly those beautiful high ceilings) while adding softness, warmth, and texture.

Crafted in Warwick’s Calais fabric in Oatmeal, this warm neutral provided the perfect complement to the room’s existing tones, creating a harmonious and sophisticated interior that feels calm, timeless, and beautifully balanced.

We loved collaborating with our customer to develop a window furnishing solution that was both practical and tailored to the unique character of the room. This subtle statement created by these Romans proves that thoughtful design doesn’t need to be complicated to make an impact.

Ready to elevate your interiors with custom window furnishings designed for your home? Get in touch with our team. We’d love to help create a space you’ll love coming home to.

Coffee and a cool install at Parkville ☕

We recently had the chance to get involved at The Grid, a new coffee spot on Grattan Street, delivering custom motorised screen roller blinds. Front of mind was just how much impact the large bay of windows has on the atmosphere of the café. We had to enhance comfort, cut glare, and fit in with the minimalist look of The Grid. We achieved this by using blinds made of Texstyle’s Kleenscreen in Charcoal, a screen roller in black to match the window trim.

Initially, the project was specified with hardwired motors. However, it was soon identified that running power cables to the required locations was not possible. Rather than delay the project or compromise the outcome, we adapted quickly and re-engineered the solution. Somfy Sonesse 30mm Wire Free motors were selected, allowing us to achieve a clean, reliable installation without the need for hardwiring.

This job highlights our commitment to practical problem solving and delivering results for our clients, even when site conditions change unexpectedly. If you’re looking for a team dedicated to getting it right, reach out. We’re here to make sure your windows are giving all they have to offer.

Soft furnishings can do far more than “finish a room”. They can actively shape how architecture is experienced. Highlighting geometry, celebrating light, and transforming “difficult spaces” into defining features.

This is where bent and curved curtain tracks come in. Rather than hiding unconventional architectural elements, Fabric Creations loves an opportunity to bring them forward.

Curved walls and windows are seen as both a win and a challenge in the design world. Instead of fighting the lines, custom drapery can follow and echo that arc, turning movement in the structure into visual flow and softness. Corner windows, with their expansive views and unique angles, benefit just as much. Thoughtfully designed curtain systems can frame the room, emphasise a sense of continuity and accentuate that wraparound feeling.

If you want to play into the best angles of your home, we’re up for the task. We want to hear from you!

It`s an open and shut case for a recent transformation in Chelsea, 3196. We turned an ordinary back deck into a true all-season entertaining space.

Our team was called in by a customer who wanted a more ideal outdoor area for hosting friends in rain, wind or sunshine. The solution was a full weatherproofing upgrade designed for comfort, durability, and year-round enjoyment.

We installed café blinds made with Achilles PVC in Clear, delivering crystal-clear protection while maintaining natural light and outdoor views. To complement this, we fitted Vistaweave 95 Zipscreens in Charcoal, adding shade, privacy, and improved climate control without compromising airflow.

This is a seamless extension of the home, for a couple of generous and welcoming hosts. An inviting, protected outdoor space ready for entertaining in any season.

If you’re looking to upgrade your alfresco area into a weatherproof paradise, get in touch with us today.
