Sheer Curtains Australia was born from a simple frustration that many Australian homeowners know all too well: finding reliable, honest information about window treatments without wading through endless sales pitches and generic product descriptions. When our founder, Sarah, renovated her Queenslander home in 2019, she spent countless hours researching the difference between voile and organdy fabrics, trying to understand whether rod pocket or grommet headers would work better for her bay windows, and attempting to calculate the right fullness ratio for her curtains. The information available online was either too technical, too salesy, or simply not relevant to Australian homes and climate.
That experience sparked an idea: what if there was a resource created specifically for Australian homeowners that combined practical knowledge with genuine product recommendations? A place where you could learn about thread counts and light filtration percentages without feeling overwhelmed, and where product suggestions were based on real testing rather than affiliate commission rates.
Today, Sheer Curtains Australia is that resource. Our small but dedicated team includes interior design enthusiasts, home renovation veterans, and window treatment specialists who have collectively hung, adjusted, cleaned, and replaced thousands of curtains across every type of Australian home imaginable. From compact Sydney apartments where every centimetre of natural light matters, to sprawling Perth properties where outdoor entertaining areas need weather-resistant solutions, we've tackled the challenges that real homeowners face.
We don't manufacture curtains, and we're not tied to any particular brand or retailer. This independence allows us to recommend products based solely on their quality, value, and suitability for Australian conditions. When we suggest a linen-look sheer for your coastal living room, it's because we've tested how similar fabrics perform in humid, salt-air environments. When we recommend a particular UV-resistant outdoor curtain, it's because we've seen how Australian sun exposure affects fabric durability over time.
Our team regularly visits trade shows, connects with fabric suppliers, and stays current with interior design trends both locally and internationally. We understand that Australians have distinct preferences when it comes to window treatments: we value homes that feel connected to the outdoors, we need solutions that can handle dramatic temperature variations, and we appreciate products that don't require constant maintenance.
Every article, guide, and product recommendation on this site is created with one goal in mind: helping you make confident decisions about your window treatments. We believe in transparency, which is why we clearly disclose our affiliate relationships and never let commercial considerations influence our editorial content. If a product isn't worth recommending, we simply won't include it, regardless of any potential commission.
We're always expanding our guides, testing new products, and refining our recommendations based on reader feedback. If you have questions that our guides don't answer, or if you'd like to share your own experiences with sheer curtains, we genuinely want to hear from you. This community of Australian homeowners sharing knowledge and experiences is what makes our mission worthwhile.
