An open & shut job in Parkdale🚪

We consider ourselves very lucky to be able to have the impact we have in people`s homes. This time we helped a customer fill a need for privacy and controlling morning sun throughout the day. The order of the day was 15 shutters and one very lovely wavefold sheer curtain made using James Dunlop`s Antipodes fabric in Oyster.

As pretty as the curtain is, we do think the star of the show in this case is the shutters. Look at how well work with the façade of this home. Talk about street appeal! We know our customer will love coming home to these windows.

If you`re looking to boost privacy, shade or aesthetics at your place, the time to reach out is now. The Springtime refresh is in full swing!

Zipscreens are the answer!💡

How do I cut heat to a room? Zipscreens. How do I make my time outside more sun smart? Zipscreens. What`s the best way to enclose my alfresco area? Zipscreens.

Here you can see Darrin demonstrating the simple virtues of one of our customers` favourite ways to level up their homes for warmer weather. For this job in Bentleigh East, we provided three spring-controlled Zipscreens made using Nolan`s Vistaweave 99 in Ebony. These were cleverly configured to create a walkway, which means we also supplied and installed a post to accommodate this design.

Our customer now has an outdoor entertaining space with practical climate control, ready for so many kinds of weather conditions. Let them be an inspiration and get in touch. Fabric Creations is in the business of getting your home Summer ready.

Installer Appreciation Post 💖

At Fabric Creations, we love our in-house installers almost as much as we love beautiful window furnishings. We truly couldn’t do it without them!

They’re the talented technicians that get every job done, and we’re so grateful for all the care, skill and pride they put into their work. Whether it’s climbing ladders, getting up in a cherry picker, "testing furniture pliability" or wrangling the world’s smallest vacuum, no effort is too much. If these guys show up to your home, you know you’re in good hands.

So, thank you to Darrin, Jason and Riely for making us look good every day!

A classic in sun protection ☀️

There are some homes that stand the test of time. This brick beauty in Bentleigh East, is one of those homes. It only needed small interventions to give the façade a lift, and bring it into the current millennium.

Fabric Creation`s contribution to this project was two auto awnings made using Vistaweave 99 in Ebony. This selection, and the sleek black hoods, matched the fresh trims and windows.

The look is cohesive and looks so tidy next to the new landscaping. All in time for the gorgeous Spring sunshine to hit us! Now`s the perfect time to turn your attention to the outside of your home. Get in touch with Fabric Creations if we can help get your outdoors together.

Let’s chat about budget 💸

We know that in Melbourne, maintaining a home during a cost-of-living crisis means putting off jobs until they can’t be ignored any more. We’re not here to insult you by acting like quality window furnishings are cheap. Fabric Creations is here to have a realistic talk about your options when you need an upgrade that brings you bang for your buck.

On our News at FC blog, we’ve recently published an article covering cost-effective choices from different angles. We discuss everything from what solutions are best when the bottom line is everything (hint: Venetians are so back, baby) to long-term, energy efficient choices to working with what you already have. Importantly, we’ve included ways Fabric Creations have worked with customers in the past to help manage their costs.

Google “Fabric Creations blog” to check it out! You might find the answers to questions you didn’t quite realise you were asking. We want our customers armed with the best information so they can get exactly what they need.

Spring brings many things 🌱

For this alfresco area in Black Rock, Spring has brought a practical project. Inspired by the oncoming warmer weather, our customer approached us to boost the shade to the side of their outdoor lounge.

This is a job for a Zipscreen!

To complement the pre-existing posts, Nolan`s Vistaweave 99 Mesh in the colour Monument was selected. The choice rounded out the contemporary feel of this poolside retreat. And since Fabric Creations loves a good finish, we also provided a matching infill between the headbox of the Zipscreen and the roof.

When designing this solution, leaving a gap to accommodate a downpipe was unavoidable. Now it’s been negotiated and camouflaged. To us, the little details are worth the extra effort.
