Premium Sheer Curtains in Templestowe — Tailored for Established Homes
Templestowe's leafy streets, generous blocks, and elegant established homes deserve window furnishings that match their character. At New World of Blinds, we have been manufacturing and installing premium sheer curtains across Melbourne's north-eastern suburbs since 2005 — and we understand exactly what works in Templestowe homes. Whether you are enhancing the large picture windows of an architect-designed property near Westerfolds Park, refreshing the bay windows of a classic family home on a generous Manningham Road block, or fitting out a modern renovation in Templestowe Lower, our custom-made sheer curtains are designed to complement your home's existing style rather than work against it.
All our sheer curtains are manufactured at our Melbourne factory in Campbellfield, custom made to your exact measurements, and installed by our experienced team. We offer a free in-home measure and quote — call 0422 786 077 or book online to arrange a visit.
Wave/ S-Fold Curtains, Templestowe
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 Ideal for Templestowe's Established Homes
Templestowe is one of Melbourne’s most sought-after suburbs precisely because of its distinctive housing character. The suburb features an eclectic mix of architect-designed family homes on large blocks, established period-style homes, and premium modern renovations — many of which include large bay windows, vaulted ceilings, and rooms that open out to established garden views.
Sheer curtains are uniquely suited to this environment for several reasons:
- Large windows facing established gardens benefit from sheer curtains that frame the leafy outlook rather than blocking it — filtered light complements Templestowe’s green streetscapes
- High ceilings common in Templestowe’s more established homes allow floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains that add drama and visual height to formal living and dining rooms
- The proximity to the Yarra River and Westerfolds Park means many properties enjoy a naturally diffused, dappled light quality — sheer curtains enhance this rather than fighting it
- For Templestowe’s premium property market (median house price $1.5M–$3M+), the right window furnishings add genuine value — quality sheer curtains are a cost-effective way to elevate interiors for sale or long-term enjoyment
- Period-style and classic homes benefit from pinch pleat or pencil pleat sheer styles that honour the home’s architectural character, while modern renovations suit the cleaner lines of S-fold or eyelet sheers
Our Sheer Curtain Range for Templestowe Homes
We offer a comprehensive range of sheer curtain styles, all custom made to measure at our Melbourne factory. Here is what suits Templestowe homes best:
S-Fold / Wave Sheer Curtains — Clean Lines for Modern Renovations
S-fold (wave fold) sheer curtains are the most popular style for Templestowe’s modern renovations and architecturally designed homes. The continuous wave pattern — created by evenly spaced hooks on a ceiling-mounted track — produces a clean, structured silhouette that suits rooms with high ceilings and large windows. S-fold sheers are ceiling-mounted, which draws the eye upward and makes rooms feel taller and more expansive. This style works particularly well in open-plan living areas where a contemporary, uncluttered aesthetic is the goal.
Available in linen-look, voile, and textured weaves across a full range of neutral tones — white, ivory, warm grey, and natural oatmeal — our S-fold sheers complement both minimalist interiors and more textured, layered design schemes.
Pinch Pleat & Pencil Pleat Sheer Curtains — Perfect for Period Homes
For Templestowe’s established period-style homes and classic family properties, pinch pleat and pencil pleat sheer curtains are the most appropriate and aesthetically sensitive choice. The gathered header creates a full, luxurious silhouette that suits formal living rooms, dining rooms, and master bedrooms in homes that have architectural character and heritage detailing. These styles work beautifully on decorative rods with finials, which allow the curtain hardware itself to become a design feature — particularly effective in homes with bay windows or ornate cornices.
Eyelet Sheer Curtains — Relaxed Elegance
Eyelet sheer curtains thread directly through large round grommets pressed into the curtain header, creating a relaxed, looped wave. They are easy to operate and suit casual living spaces, studies, and bedrooms where a more laid-back look is preferred. Eyelet sheers are especially popular in Templestowe homes that have been renovated with a contemporary coastal or Scandi-inspired interior aesthetic — where warmth and texture matter more than formal structure.
Sheer Linen Curtains — The Premier Choice for Templestowe
Linen and linen-look sheer curtains are the defining window furnishing trend in Melbourne’s premium suburbs right now, and Templestowe homeowners have embraced them enthusiastically. The natural texture, warm drape, and organic colour palette of linen-blend sheers perfectly complements the earthy, nature-connected aesthetic common in Templestowe’s established homes — particularly those with timber flooring, stone benchtops, and garden-facing living areas.
Linen sheers allow filtered light to enter with a warm, honeyed quality that suits the dappled green-light environment around Westerfolds Park and Ruffey Lake Park. Available in white, ivory, sand, warm linen, and muted sage — all of which pair naturally with Templestowe’s established-suburb palette.
Layering Sheer Curtains with Blockout Blinds — The Templestowe Standard
The most popular window treatment configuration in Templestowe’s premium homes is sheer curtains layered with blockout roller blinds on a double track system. This combination is particularly effective in Templestowe for the following reasons:
- During the day: sheer curtains frame garden and park views while diffusing Melbourne’s eastern-aspect sun, protecting timber floors and furniture from UV damage
- At night: the blockout blind drops behind the sheer for complete privacy and darkness — essential for Templestowe’s main bedrooms, which in larger homes often have windows facing the street
- For Templestowe’s premium homes: double-track sheer-plus-blockout is the expected standard in high-value property — it is what buyers expect and what adds resale value
- Motorised option: both layers can be motorised and integrated with smart home systems, which is increasingly common in Templestowe’s renovated homes
We also install sheer curtains alongside plantation shutters — a very popular combination in Templestowe’s period-style homes, where shutters handle privacy on the lower sash and sheers soften the upper window with natural light.

Why Templestowe Homeowners Choose New World of Blinds
20 Years Serving Melbourne’s North-East
New World of Blinds has been manufacturing and installing window furnishings across Melbourne since 2005. Our team — led by Matt and Oz — has completed installations in homes across Templestowe, Doncaster, Donvale, Bulleen, Manningham, Eltham, and the wider north-eastern corridor. We understand the housing character of this area — from the large period-style homes near Ruffey Lake Park to the contemporary townhouses in Templestowe Lower — and we know how to advise on styles, fabrics, and heading types that suit each property type.
Factory Direct — Premium Quality Without the Showroom Premium
Because we manufacture all our sheer curtains at our Campbellfield factory, we eliminate the cost of showroom overheads and middlemen. Templestowe homeowners consistently tell us they are surprised by the gap between our prices and those of the boutique curtain showrooms in Doncaster Westfield or Kew. Our factory-direct model means you receive the same premium Australian-made quality at a significantly lower price — and with the added benefit of dealing directly with the people who made and installed your curtains.
Free In-Home Consultation — We Bring the Samples to You
One of the most important decisions in choosing sheer curtains for a premium home is seeing how fabrics behave in your specific light conditions. A linen sheer that looks perfect in a showroom under fluorescent light may look entirely different in a north-facing Templestowe living room at 4pm in autumn. Our in-home consultation brings a full range of fabric samples directly to your property — we assess your light, your architecture, your existing interior palette, and we recommend the options that will genuinely work. The consultation is completely free and obligation-free.
5-Year Warranty on All Products and Installation
Every sheer curtain we supply and install comes with a 5-year warranty covering fabric, hardware, tracks, and installation workmanship. If anything fails within the warranty period, we return and fix it at no cost. This warranty is particularly meaningful for Templestowe homeowners investing in high-end window furnishings for a premium property — it gives you confidence that your investment is protected for years.
How to Care for Your Sheer Curtains
Sheer curtains in Templestowe homes — particularly in rooms that face established gardens — can accumulate fine dust and pollen over time. Proper care keeps them looking their best:
- Dust every 2–4 weeks using a soft upholstery brush attachment on a low-suction vacuum — run gently from top to bottom
- For washing, always check the fabric care label first; most linen-blend and polyester sheer fabrics are hand-wash in cool water with a mild detergent
- Never wring or machine spin at high speed — the delicate weave structure of sheer fabric distorts permanently under stress
- Rehang on the track or rod while the fabric is still slightly damp — the weight of the fabric pulls out any light creasing as it air-dries
- For homes near Westerfolds Park or the Yarra, sheer curtains may pick up fine particulates from nearby vegetation — a gentle spot clean with cold water and mild soap handles most marks
- Avoid direct spray from window cleaning chemicals — these can cause permanent yellowing or structural degradation of sheer fabrics over time

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
How much do sheer curtains cost in Templestowe?
The cost of custom sheer curtains in Templestowe depends on window size, fabric selection, and curtain heading style. As a Melbourne factory-direct manufacturer, New World of Blinds offers significantly better pricing than boutique curtain retailers in Doncaster or Kew — without compromising on fabric quality. Standard sheer curtains start from approximately $90–$130 per window, with linen-look, S-fold, and motorised options priced higher. We provide a fully itemised free quote during your in-home consultation, with no obligation to proceed. Call 0422 786 077 to book.
What sheer curtain style suits established Templestowe homes best?
For period-style and classic established homes in Templestowe — particularly those built in the 1970s to 1990s with formal living rooms, high ceilings, and bay windows — pinch pleat or pencil pleat sheers on a decorative rod are the most appropriate choice. They provide a full, formal silhouette that complements the home’s architectural character. For modern renovations and contemporary builds in Templestowe Lower, S-fold linen sheer curtains ceiling-mounted on a slim track create a cleaner, more minimalist look. Our consultants will advise on the best match for your specific property during the free in-home consultation.
Do you provide sheer curtains for large windows and high ceilings in Templestowe?
Yes — this is one of our specialities for Templestowe and the wider north-eastern Melbourne market. Many homes in Templestowe feature windows with drops of 2.7m to 3.6m or greater, and we custom manufacture sheers to any drop and width required. Ceiling-to-floor sheer curtains on tall windows are a hallmark of premium Templestowe interiors and are one of the most effective ways to maximise the visual impact of large windows facing established garden landscapes. We bring a specialist track system for high-ceiling installations and our installers are experienced in working at height safely.
Can I combine sheer curtains with plantation shutters in my Templestowe home?
Yes, and this is one of the most popular combinations we install in Templestowe and Doncaster. Plantation shutters on the lower half of a window (controlling privacy and direct sunlight) combined with sheer curtains on the full window height (softening the space and diffusing light) create a layered, high-end look that suits established Melbourne homes beautifully. We manufacture and install both products, which means we can plan the track positioning and shutter sizing in a single consultation to ensure they work together perfectly.
How long does sheer curtain installation take in Templestowe?
Our standard process from measure and quote to installation day is approximately 2–3 weeks. This covers the time to custom manufacture your curtains at our Campbellfield factory to your exact window measurements and chosen specifications. The installation itself for a standard Templestowe home (6–10 windows) is typically completed in a single morning or afternoon visit. Rush orders can sometimes be accommodated — contact us to discuss your specific timeline.
