Sheer Curtains Avondale Heights — Custom Made, Expert Installed, 5-Year Warranty
Avondale Heights is one of Melbourne’s most established inner-western suburbs, with a housing mix that ranges from character post-war brick homes to contemporary renovations and new builds. Whatever the age or style of your property, New World of Blinds has been supplying and installing custom sheer curtains for homes just like yours since 2005. We manufacture everything at our Campbellfield facility and our team regularly installs across Avondale Heights, Niddrie, Essendon West, and the surrounding Moonee Valley suburbs.
As a family-owned business run by Matt and Oz, we bring nearly two decades of hands-on experience to every home we visit. Every sheer curtain is custom-made to your exact window dimensions, professionally installed by our own team — not subcontractors — and backed by our full 5-year warranty. From a single bedroom window to a complete whole-home fit-out, we treat every job with the same care and precision.
Wave/ S-Fold Curtains Avondale Heights
Wave/S-Fold curtains are one of the most popular types of curtains. Wave/S-fold curtains are the curtains that look just like a wave or a long S pattern that continues for the length of the window/wall and its covering. The soft flowing wave effect allows the fabric to drape stunningly, and the overall appearance creates a modern, trending look to your room/covering. Wave/S-fold curtains add a touch of class and elegance to your home.
Pleated Curtains
Eyelet Curtains
Eyelet curtains are where the top of the curtain has round eyelets or grommets pressed into the fabric. The curtain is then threaded onto a track/pole that threads through each of the eyelets in a wave like formation.
Why Sheer Curtains Are a Natural Fit for Avondale Heights Homes
Sheer curtains are made from lightweight, open-weave fabrics that diffuse natural light rather than blocking it. They transform harsh sunlight into a soft, even glow that keeps rooms feeling bright and spacious without the glare that comes with unfiltered sun through clear glass. During daylight hours, the semi-transparent fabric also creates an effective privacy screen — people outside looking in see a translucent surface rather than a clear view of your interior.
For Avondale Heights homes, sheer curtains are particularly well-suited for several reasons. Many properties in this suburb feature large front-facing windows on streets with pedestrian traffic, where daytime privacy matters without sacrificing natural light. North and west-facing living rooms — common in the established streetscapes of Avondale Heights — receive strong afternoon sun that sheer curtains can effectively filter to reduce glare and heat gain. And for renovated or period homes where character detailing needs to be complemented rather than overwhelmed, the soft, elegant movement of sheer fabric adds exactly the right finishing touch.
The practical benefits sheer curtains bring to any home include:
- UV filtration that protects timber floors, rugs, and furniture from sun fading
- Reduction of solar heat gain through north and west-facing windows in summer
- Daytime privacy without losing natural light or the sense of openness
- A soft, elegant aesthetic that works in both renovated period homes and modern interiors
- Full layering capability with blockout curtains or roller blinds for complete day-and-night control
- Improved thermal comfort across Melbourne’s full seasonal range.
Custom Sheer Curtain Styles Available in Avondale Heights
We offer four primary curtain heading styles for sheer fabrics, each creating a different visual character. Our team brings physical fabric samples to your Avondale Heights home during the free measure and quote visit so you can see exactly how each option looks in your own lighting and interior context.
S-Fold / Wave Curtains
S-Fold curtains — also known as Wave curtains — are our most installed style across Melbourne and consistently one of the most requested in the inner-western suburbs. The fabric is attached to the track at evenly spaced clips, creating a perfectly uniform continuous wave from end to end. The result is a clean, architectural drape that reads as considered and contemporary without being stark or cold. S-Fold sheers work beautifully in renovated Avondale Heights homes where the brief is modern but warm — natural fabric, soft folds, uncluttered lines. They also integrate seamlessly with motorised curtain tracks for smart home setups.
Eyelet Curtains
Eyelet curtains thread onto a decorative rod through metal grommets pressed along the top of the fabric, creating a relaxed, informal wave. They suit living rooms and bedrooms where a softer, more casual aesthetic is preferred — particularly effective in rooms with existing decorative rods or period-style architraves. Eyelet sheer curtains in linen or fine voile fabrics are a popular choice for Avondale Heights homes with original timber detailing, where a natural, organic feel complements the character of the space.
Pleated Curtains
Pleated heading styles — pinch pleat, pencil pleat, or box pleat — create a more structured, tailored appearance that suits formal rooms and heritage-influenced interiors. Many of Avondale Heights’ original post-war brick homes have dining rooms and sitting areas where a classic, considered curtain style sits in harmony with the architecture. Pleated sheer curtains in a fine voile or silk-blend fabric add an understated elegance that contemporary heading styles don’t always achieve.
Linen Sheer Curtains
Linen sheers are among our most requested fabric options for inner-western Melbourne homes. Heavier in hand than standard voile, with a naturally textured surface, linen sheers bring warmth and tactile richness to a room that synthetic fabrics simply cannot replicate. They suit the earthy, grounded interiors popular in renovated Avondale Heights homes — pairing well with timber floorboards, exposed brick, and natural stone benchtops. Available across a range of natural tones from warm white and raw linen through to soft sage and warm grey.
Layering Sheers with Blockout Curtains — The Most Versatile Window Solution
The single most effective window treatment system we install for Avondale Heights homeowners is a double-track setup combining sheer curtains on the inner track with blockout curtains on the outer. This layered approach gives you complete, independent control over your room environment throughout the day and night.
During Melbourne’s long summer days, draw the sheers alone for diffused, filtered light that keeps the room feeling open and connected. In the evening or for weekend lie-ins, draw the blockout layer across for complete privacy and darkness. The system also provides meaningful thermal benefits — the layered fabric creates an insulating barrier that reduces heat entering in summer and escaping in winter, which is particularly valuable for rooms with large windows or limited eave overhangs.

What sheer curtain styles do you offer?
We offer S-Fold (Wave), eyelet, and pleated heading styles across a range of sheer fabrics including standard voile, linen sheer, and fine fabric blends. Each style creates a different visual character — S-Fold suits contemporary interiors, eyelet suits relaxed or period-influenced spaces, and pleated styles suit formal or heritage rooms. Our team brings physical samples to your home during the free consultation so you can compare options in your own lighting before deciding.
Can sheer curtains be used in rooms with strong afternoon sun?
Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons Avondale Heights homeowners choose sheer curtains. For north and west-facing living rooms that receive strong afternoon sun, sheer curtains filter and diffuse the light rather than letting it pour in unobstructed. This reduces glare on screens, prevents hotspots on seating and floors, and meaningfully reduces solar heat gain — all without making the room feel dark or closed. For maximum thermal performance, we recommend layering the sheers with a blockout curtain or roller blind on a double-track system.
Can I layer sheer curtains with blockout curtains?
Yes — and it’s one of our most recommended setups for Avondale Heights homes. A double-track system has sheer curtains on the inner track and blockout curtains on the outer track, giving you independent control over both layers. During the day you can use the sheers alone for soft, diffused light and daytime privacy. In the evening or for overnight darkness, you draw the blockout layer across. New World of Blinds installs this combination regularly throughout the Moonee Valley area and it remains our most popular living room and bedroom recommendation.
