Choosing Between Blinds and Curtains What You Need to Know

INSPIRATION

Blinds, curtains or… both? It’s a question Luxaflex consultants hear every day - and for good reason. Each option comes with its own strengths, and choosing the right one can make a noticeable difference to your home’s comfort, style and functionality. If you’re planning a new interior style or updating an existing space, it helps to understand how each solution works and what will suit your needs best.

Why choose Luxaflex® blinds?

Luxaflex blinds have a long-standing reputation for quality, innovation and durability. Every product is designed with everyday living in mind and tested to handle the demands of the Australian climate.

The Luxaflex blind range includes roller blinds, vertical and venetian blinds, as well as Softshades such as  Silhouette® Shadings , Pirouette® Shadings and Luminette® Privacy Sheers.

Blinds are a great choice if you want to:

  • Create a clean, modern and sophisticated look

  • Control how much natural light enters your home throughout the day

  • Increase privacy in key rooms

  • Improve insulation and help keep interiors cooler in summer and warmer in winter

Why choose Luxaflex Curtains?

Luxaflex® Curtains add a sense of texture, softness and elegance to any room. Designed to layer beautifully with Luxaflex® blinds, the curtain collection features high-quality fabrics and styles curated to support a fully customised interior look.

Choose from sheer, solid, or room-darkening fabrics, paired with a selection of linings to fine-tune how light enters your home. You can also tailor the overall effect with different heading styles and hardware options - from subtle and understated to bold and dramatic.

Curtains are ideal when you want to:

  • Soften the look of a room

  • Filter or diffuse natural light, especially in living rooms or bedrooms

  • Make windows appear larger or taller

Why choose both?

Many designers and homeowners now choose to combine blinds and curtains to achieve a balanced, inviting look. Layering the two adds dimension, enhances performance and allows you to enjoy the benefits of both styles.

Both Luxaflex  blinds and curtains are designed with safety and convenience in mind and are available in manual and motorised options, including PowerView® Motorisation. All products are manufactured and installed to meet Australian standards.

Because blind and curtain choices may be influenced by window height, shape, or the way your doors open, it’s helpful to consider your window design at the same time as your window coverings. This ensures your options remain open and you’re not limited later in the process.

For personalised guidance, visiting a Luxaflex® showroom can be invaluable. You can chat with an expert, explore samples and book a complimentary consultation to plan the right solution for your home.
