Is a sheer right for you

A sheer is a light, see-through curtain. By day it softens the sun, cuts glare and stops people seeing in, and the room stays bright.

Soft light and privacy by day
A sheer on its own suits lounge rooms, dining areas and kitchens.

A dark bedroom
Choose blockout fabric instead: it stops light coming through the curtain.

Privacy at night as well
With the lights on at night, people can see shapes through a sheer. Add a blockout curtain behind it.

The downsides of sheer curtains

No privacy at night with the lights on. People outside can see shapes through it.
It won’t darken a room, so it won’t help a bedroom sleep in.
It adds only a little warmth at the glass.

The usual fix is a second layer: double curtains, or a blockout roller blind behind the sheer.

Fit and controls

Every curtain we make comes on its own track (the rail it hangs from), cut to your width. So the heading and the track always match.

Where the track goes: on the ceiling (top fit) for the cleanest line, or on the wall above the window (face fit).
The track: hand-drawn, in white or black, opened with a wand (a slim rod). Or motorised, with a remote.
Flow: fixed flow keeps every wave evenly spaced. Free flow lets the folds hang loosely.
Opening: one curtain that draws to the left or right, or a pair that opens from the centre.
Hem: choose the lead-weight hem: a fine chain sewn in so a sheer hangs straight.
Length: 20 mm off the floor, touching it, or puddled for a soft break.

How to measure

Measure the track, not the window. You need a steel tape and a few minutes per window.

Harries Carroll on a step reaching up to hang a sheer curtain on a ceiling track

01
Width is the track length
Run the track at least 150 mm past the window frame on each side, so the open curtain stacks off the glass.
02
Decide where the track goes
On the ceiling for the cleanest line, or on the wall above the window.
03
Drop is track to hem
The drop is the height to cover: measure from the track to where you want the hem. For puddled, we add 20 mm.
04
Check the size
We make curtains from 800 mm to 5,750 mm wide, and 900 mm to 4,000 mm drop.
05
Hang it yourself
The track comes with brackets and instructions. Fix it to the ceiling or the wall, then hook the curtain on. You’ll need a drill and a ladder. Stuck? Call 1300 195 797.

Motorised sheer curtains

Open and close them with a remote. The motor sits in the track.

Battery track: a Somfy Movelite track with a charger and a Situo 1 remote. No electrician, and it charges a few times a year.
Wired track: a Somfy Glydea 35e track with a Situo 1 remote. It never needs charging, but an electrician runs power to the window first.
Price: both motorised tracks are priced by width, and the designer adds it as you go.

Questions

See all FAQs

Need new hooks or pendants? Spare parts for curtains

Can people see through sheer curtains at night?

Yes, once the lights are on inside. A sheer gives privacy by day, but at night people outside can see shapes through it. Add a blockout layer for privacy at night.

Are sheer blinds the same as sheer curtains?

Not quite. A sheer curtain hangs from a track and draws to the side. If you’d rather have a blind, choose a light-filtering roller blind: it softens the light and stops people seeing in by day.

How much do sheer curtains cost?

It depends on the width, the drop and the fabric. One of our sheer curtains 2.0 m wide with a 2.4 m drop costs $766.76 to $973.96, including GST and a hand-drawn track. The designer shows your exact price as you go.

Which fabric should I choose for sheer curtains?

There isn’t one right answer. Our six sheer ranges differ in weight and price. Order free samples of two or three and hang them at your window, in daylight and again at night.

Are sheer curtains still in style?

Yes. Floor-length sheers on a ceiling track are a common look in new Australian homes, like the HAAUS.7 home in the photos on this page.

What types of sheer curtain can I get?

You choose the heading (S-fold, double or triple pinch pleat, or pencil pleat), how it opens (to one side or as a centre-opening pair) and the track (hand-drawn or motorised). For a dark room as well, choose double curtains: a sheer and a blockout on one double track.

Should sheer curtains be lighter or darker than my walls?

A colour close to the wall lets the curtain blend in, and a contrast makes it a feature. Light comes through a sheer, so the colour changes through the day. Hold a sample against your wall in the morning and again in the evening.

Do I need a special track for sheer curtains?

No. Every curtain we make comes with its own track, cut to your width, so the heading and the track always match. You choose a hand-drawn or a motorised track in the designer.

How long should sheer curtains be?

Your choice of three: 20 mm off the floor, just touching it, or puddled. Measure the drop from the track to where you want the hem. Choose puddled and we add 20 mm for you.

How long do sheer curtains take?

We dispatch them 8 to 15 business days after you order. Free samples post separately and never hold up an order.

Can I see the fabric before I order?

Yes. Order up to 10 free samples, posted free, and hold them at your own window before you decide.

What if I measure wrong?

Add the Perfect Fit Guarantee when you design it (+$39 a curtain). We video call you to check your measurements before we make it. If a measuring error means it still arrives the wrong size, we make it again.
