    Perfecting the Bedroom: Window Furnishings for Privacy and Comfort

    Creating the ideal bedroom involves more than choosing the right bed, colours and décor. For homeowners, renovators and designers, bedroom design in Melbourne can be enhanced with custom-made curtains, blinds and shutters that provide privacy, light control and a polished...

Create your own style

Let’s talk Romans! 🪙⚔️🌿

Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong era? Good news. Roman blinds are your best friend in making your space feel timeless. Perfect for traditional and transitional style homes, they add a touch of classical charm while feeling completely at home in modern interiors. A beautiful blend of heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary living.

We love creating custom Roman blinds for our customers in any chosen fabric. From relaxed Romans with their effortless gather, to folded Romans that offer a crisp and refined finish, they always bring that special something to a room.

Sheer fabrics are especially stunning as relaxed Romans, allowing light to filter through while adding a layer of elegance and warmth. They can also be lined to create a more structured look while preserving the lightness of the fabric.

The real beauty of Romans is that when you`re free to use any fabric, it becomes possible to coordinate your blind perfectly with drapes and other soft furnishings. Who doesn’t love a matchy-matchy moment? It creates a sense of continuity and cohesion throughout a space, bringing the entire design together.

Now is the time for timeless design. Reach out to us if you agree!

Check out these highlights from our time at the 2026 Decor + Design Show 🛋️🏺🎨

Carmen, Rae and Lynden left overflowing with inspiration. And how could you not, with the heat the vendors brought?

Shout out to some of our favs from the floor -

@clipsalhome for their incredible switch plate fixtures, elevating what you might walk past every day.
@warranbrooke for the gorgeous wine coloured wall that made their art come to life.
@innatecollection for their Katherine Reverse textile display, which spoke to something only Aussie design could have birthed.
& to the whole Japan Pavilion, especially Kazutaka Tsuyuki for sharing his craft with us.

A more exhaustive list would turn into an essay (speaking of, watch out for a post on the FC blog later this week) but you get it... we were spoiled with beauty and innovation! A huge thanks goes to the organisers and vendors from our team.

We can`t wait to take the new motivation and new products we found during the show and deliver that energy to our customers!

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.
