Traditional curtain headings and fabrics

Live Comfortably.

For curtains that add character and style to a room, the range includes blockout and sheer curtains. From traditional curtains to modern curtains, you can choose the heading and fabric for the room.

From simple to luxurious, traditional curtains are always in style

With Australian and international fabrics, there is a fabric for different spaces and styles. Jacquard, florals, soft satins, velvet or solid statement colours are in the range.

Single, double and triple pinch pleats are classic curtain heading styles on Stan Bond custom made curtains. Goblet and pencil pleats are also used on traditional curtains, including heavier fabrics. For a modern touch, consider a Wave (S-fold) heading in a fabric that drapes softly. Stiff, coated or heavy fabrics can flatten in a wave.

Finish the look with matching soft furnishings

To complement your window furnishings, we offer an incredible range of cushions, bedspreads and other soft furnishings to enhance the existing fixtures in your home.

Along with some of the latest technologies, the Sawade Soft Furnishing range lets you choose from a huge selection of products. With so many options of colours, patterns and styles, you are able to personalise your choices. To ensure you get the perfect results, on budget, our team will work closely with you throughout the process and provide guidance and assistance.

What's new in curtains

Motorised option

Traditional curtains can still have new features. As Somfy specialists, we can motorise your curtains with Somfy motors, or integrate them with a home automation system such as CBUS. To hide the track and motor, consider a pelmet, designed to suit modern or traditional styling.

See motorised blinds for motor options, and home automation where the curtain is to work with a control system.

Pelmets and formal finishes

Add a pelmet for a finishing touch. A pelmet is a padded headbox covered in fabric to match or coordinate with your curtains. It gives a polished, traditional finish, can conceal the track and helps reduce light from above the curtain. Pelmets can also help with insulation.

For formal rooms, ask about swags, tails, tie-backs and rods.

Long sheer curtains pooling on the floor

Floor-length curtains

Curtains can be made to just clear the floor or to puddle on it. Tell us at the measure how you want the hem to finish, because we set the finished drop from that. A puddled hem can drag and collect dust, so it suits curtains you do not open often.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which headings suit traditional curtains?

Pinch pleat (single, double or triple), pencil pleat and goblet headings each give a different traditional look. Pinch pleats can sit in front of the track to hide it. We match the heading to your fabric weight, rod or track, lining and the stack space beside the window. A pelmet or tie-backs can finish the look.

What fabrics do you offer?

Our curtains are made to measure in our own curtain workroom at our Salisbury South factory. We have supply relationships with fabric makers including Warwick, Zepel, James Dunlop, Nettex, Basford and Wilson. If you have seen a fabric you like, bring the name or a sample and we will check whether we can get it for you.

What curtains are best for shift workers?

Shift workers often want the darkest room possible, using blockout fabrics. Stan Bond can help make a room much darker by combining heavy linings or products such as Ziptrak Interior or exterior roller shutters. These products can improve room darkening for shift workers. The result depends on the fabric and coverage at the top, sides and centre; assess remaining light gaps during the consultation.

What styles do you specialise in?

We have trained Interior Decorators on staff who can help with many styles, whether you like Hamptons, minimalist, traditional, industrial or Scandinavian decor.

Are all curtains custom made?

Yes. We specialise in made-to-measure curtains and do not sell ready-made curtains. Every curtain and blind is made to suit the measurements and design of your window and home.

Can blinds and curtains be used on the same window?

It is common to have a curtain over the top of a blind in a window. Sheer curtains look great over roller blinds, timber venetian blinds and other indoor blinds. Roman blinds can also be made using many of the same fabrics as curtains, providing a consistent look across your home.

Are ready made curtains just as good?

Compare the actual fabric, finish, dimensions and service included. Ready-made and custom curtains vary in quality; made-to-measure curtains offer a fit and selection tailored to the opening.

Why invest in curtains?

The great thing about curtains is that you're not just investing in something beautiful for your home. Curtains can also help with insulation, and curtains and blinds in Adelaide provide benefit in both summer and winter.

Continuous vs non-continuous fabrics: what does that mean?

Continuous fabrics are normally wide width (2.8–3.2 m) and manufactured in a manner that allows for no joins in most windows. Most commonly these are sheer fabrics. Non-continuous fabrics are more traditional narrow widths (1.2–1.5 m). They are commonly non-blockout fabrics which need to be lined. A Stan Bond consultant will help you to find the right fabric and width for your home.

What lengths do sheer curtains come in?

Sheer curtain fabrics are most often 2.8–3.2 m wide. Depending on the fabric's width, that allows a curtain drop of up to about 3.1 m without a join. A curtain needs about 0.1 m for squaring and bottom hems. If you need a longer drop, a false hem or a top join can be used.
