Custom Curtains in the Blue Mountains — Premium Quality at Great Value
Looking to refresh your windows with something that actually improves comfort as well as looks? At Western Sydney Shutters, we make elegant, hard-working window coverings for Blue Mountains homes. We don’t provide generic drapes that look great in a showroom and fall apart in real life. Family-run from Penrith with a team that’s worked in joinery and window furnishings for 15+ years, we build curtains that suit the local climate, protect heritage details and still look beautiful.
Curtain Types & Benefits
Below are the practical choices we recommend for Blue Mountain homes. Each option is chosen for how it performs here, not for what’s fashionable this season.
Sheer (light, soft) — Lets in diffused light; great for north-facing living rooms where you want daylight without glare. Sheers create a layered look when paired with heavier panels.
Blockout/thermal lined — Ideal for bedrooms or sun-soaked west windows. These reduce glare, improve sleep, and cut heat loss overnight. In the Blue Mountains, they noticeably lower heating bills in winter when used with pelmets or over-sized returns.
Veri Shades/single-track systems — A clean, cord-free option for modern renovations; quick to operate and less visual bulk for narrower windows.
Box pleat & pinch pleat headings — These headings keep a tailored, formal profile and suit heritage interiors; they hang straighter over time than cheap alternatives.
Pelmets & layered treatments — For older homes, a pelmet closes the top of the window cavity and stops drafts. It’s a small detail but makes a big difference in insulation and finish.
Practical maintenance notes: Vacuum fabric with a brush head every few months, spot-clean spills promptly and arrange a professional steam clean every 2–4 years depending on use. Small repairs (re-hemming, re-weighting) are usually quick and cost-effective. Just ask us about our aftercare.
Here’s how a typical project runs so you know exactly what will happen and when:
Book a free measure & consultation — We come to your home across the Blue Mountains (Springwood, Katoomba, Wentworth Falls, Blaxland, Leura). Have a list of windows, any photos and your budget range handy.
Fabric samples & design choices — We bring swatches to see beside your furniture and lighting at different times of day. This avoids the “it looked wrong in the cold light” problem.
Clear, written quote — Measured to the millimetre with options (basic, mid, premium) so you can choose where to spend. No surprise add-ons.
Production & install — Typical turnaround is 2–3 weeks from approval (shorter for standard sizes). Installation takes a few hours for most homes; we always tidy up and show you care instructions.
Aftercare & warranty — Everything is backed by our warranty; we’ll explain what’s covered and how to keep the finish looking great.
Quick tip for getting the best quote: Measure the finished look you want (recessed vs face mount), note sill heights and whether you have obstructions (radiators, shutters, built-ins). Photos help us prepare accurate options on the spot.
Why Choose Western Sydney Shutters?
Family-owned & local — You speak to the people who build and install. No layers of subcontractors.
Fire-rated fabrics meeting AS/NZ 1530 standards — Important for peace of mind in bushfire-affected regions and for commercial spaces.
Real joinery experience — Our experienced installers understand how curtains interact with windows, architraves and heritage finishes.
Design that fits your lifestyle — We recommend solutions based on how you use each room (sleeping, TV, insulation, privacy), not just what’s trending.
Ready to Transform Your Windows?
If you want curtains that actually live well with your Blue Mountains home like insulating or softening light, let’s talk. Call us on 0497 797 711 to request a free measure & quote. We’ll bring samples, practical options and a clear price so you can decide with confidence.
Price depends on size, fabric and finish. Expect a basic single-window blockout from an entry tier, up to a premium bespoke treatment with pelmets and lining. We always provide three price bands so you can weigh value vs upgrade.
Blockout fabrics with an added thermal lining perform best for cold nights; heavier weaves (or a double-layer with sheer and blockout) trap more air and improve comfort.
Yes!. We supply fire-rated options compliant with AS/NZ 1530. This is important for residential and commercial locations alike.
From measure to install is commonly 2–3 weeks. The install itself is usually a few hours for a typical house. We always confirm the timing when quoting.
Pelmets, box or pinch pleats and full-length panels that respect period proportions work best. We’ll suggest appropriate fabrics that sit well with timber detailing and heritage sills.
We stock a large range of plantation shutters including basswood, aluminium, polymer, cedar and paulownia. We offer an incredible 10 year warranty on our timber plantation shutters!
Our range of blinds is one of the largest in New South Wales. It includes panel, roman, roller, honeycell, venetian and vertical blinds. We use the highest quality materials in our products.

I recently had plantation shutters installed by Colby and his team at Western City Shutters, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. They communicated clearly, arrived on time, and ensured the installation process was seamless. The quality of the shutters is excellent, and their pricing is very reasonable for the value you receive. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Western City Shutters to anyone looking for high-quality products and exceptional service.
