Sheer curtains are a lightweight, semi-transparent window furnishing designed to soften natural light while keeping a room feeling open and bright. They're a popular choice for anyone who wants their windows to seem sophisticated and lived-in rather than walled off, making them ideal for homes, apartments, offices, and retail fit-outs alike. AWC supplies and installs custom-made and made-to-measure sheer curtains that Melbourne homeowners and businesses have trusted since 2019, with ready-made options available where a faster turnaround is needed.
It's worth noting sheers aren't designed for privacy or full light block — if that's the priority for a particular room, we'll talk you through pairing them with a heavier curtain or blind at your consultation.
All sheer curtains are available custom-made to your exact window and ceiling height, in a range of colours and weaves to suit any interior.
In residential settings, sheer curtains work well in living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where you want light and a sense of space without exposing the room fully. They're commonly paired with a heavier curtain to form a double curtain, giving you the option to switch between an open, airy look during the day and full privacy at night.
For offices, retail fit-outs, and other commercial properties, sheer curtains soften harsh overhead light and reduce glare on screens without blocking out natural light entirely. Motorised tracks are a popular option in commercial settings, allowing sheers across a large space to be opened or closed at once.
If sheers aren't quite enough coverage on their own, we also supply and install blockout curtains and double curtains for a day-and-night combination, along with custom blinds, roller blinds, roman blinds, and plantation shutters for a firmer alternative. Ask us at your free measure and quote about layering sheers with a heavier option for the best of both.

Sheer curtains are a fantastic way to add style and personality to a room. They also help control the amount of light in the room. This can be especially useful in areas like bathrooms, where there’s a high need for natural light.
Sheer curtains are great for a number of reasons. They have the ability to filter light, provide privacy, and allow for open-concept layouts. In addition, they are more cost-effective than heavier drapes and roller blinds.
Light filtering curtains are perfect for homes with large windows. These treatments are lightweight and can save you money when compared to heavier drapes.
The main advantage of sheer curtains is that they provide just enough coverage for a room. This can be especially important for rooms with large windows, such as a living room. Also, sheer drapes can protect your furniture from UV damage.
Blackout fabrics are another great choice. They can be raised or lowered to block the sunlight and prevent noise. You can also get sheer plus darkening draperies that combine the flexibility of blackout fabrics with the beauty of sheer.
An open concept layout is a good thing, at least in the context of a family. With fewer walls and more natural light, an open floor plan will make your house feel more like a home than a work of art. The challenge comes with picking the right window treatments. Curtains and blinds come in all shapes and sizes. You should also consider the style of your furniture. For example, you can go for modern or classic designs, or opt for a more eclectic mix.
If you have a large room, choose curtains that complement each other. You can even create individual zones using sheer curtains and valances. And you can hang them from panel tracks or use a hook and eye system.
While you’re at it, consider a combination of sheer and sheer paired with blackout or blackout paired with a solid coloured curtain. A well-chosen combination will yield a pleasing frame to the eyes.
Quality sheer fabrics are made to resist fading better than cheaper alternatives, but any fabric exposed to constant direct sun will fade eventually. We can advise on the most sun-resistant options at your consultation.
During the day, sheers offer a degree of privacy by softening visibility from outside, but they won't fully block a view once it's dark inside and light outside. For full privacy, we'd recommend pairing sheers with a heavier curtain or blind.
Yes, motorised curtain tracks are available for larger windows or spaces where manual operation isn't practical and are controllable via remote or app.
Yes, ready-made sheers are a straightforward, lower-cost way to soften a rental's windows without a major investment, though custom-made options are also available if you own the property long-term.
