Choosing the right window treatments can feel a bit like navigating a maze blindfolded.

With so many options available, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. But don’t worry! To help you get started, we’ve put together a quick guide to some of the most popular window covering options, all manufactured by BQ Design.

For over 45 years, we’ve been proud to manufacture high-quality, customised curtains and blinds, for interior designers, decorators and window furnishing specialists across Australia.

Whether you’re renovating your home, outfitting a new office, or looking to refresh a single room, we have a style to suit every taste and need.

Curtains: A classic choice

Let’s begin with the basics – curtains. One of the most versatile and timeless window treatments, curtains are available in various styles and can be crafted from a wide range of fabric types.

From light and airy sheer curtains that allow natural light to fill your space, to luxurious velvet drapes that add depth and drama to a room, curtains offer endless possibilities.

Another fantastic feature of curtains is the range of heading styles available. You can choose from neat and simple ripplefold (s-fold) or wave styles, or classic pinch pleat, sleek pencil pleat, or select another style to suit your room. Whether you want a sophisticated, traditional look or something more modern, curtains are a classic choice that can be fully customised with our optional features. 

Roman Blinds: Chic and practical

If you’re after a more streamlined look, roman blinds may be the ideal solution. These stylish window coverings fold up neatly when raised, creating a clean and contemporary look.

Despite their simplicity, roman blinds can still be highly personalised. Select a minimalist or a more decorative style with contrast fabric bands or trims, for a truly unique look for your space.

Roman blinds are also highly practical, offering excellent light control and insulation. Whether you need a room-darkening solution for a bedroom or a light-filtering option for a living room, roman blinds can meet your needs. They are also easy to operate, typically featuring a cord, chain, or motorised option for added convenience.

Roller Blinds: Simple and versatile

For a no-fuss, minimalist window treatment that gets the job done, roller blinds are a great option. These sleek blinds are made from a single piece of fabric that rolls up and down, making them easy to operate and maintain.

We stock an array of coated, easy-to-clean Home Range fabrics in various colours. Opt for blockout fabric for complete privacy and light control, or choose a translucent, sheer, or screen fabric that softly filters light into the room.

For another light-blockout solution, we also manufacture bonded blinds using the plain or decorative fabric you provide to us.

Roller blinds can be operated via a chain mechanism, spring-loaded system, or even motorised for seamless control with the touch of a button.

Panel Glide Blinds: Ideal for large windows

Panel glide blinds are an excellent choice for large windows, sliding doors, or even as a stylish room divider. These sleek, modern blinds are designed with fabric panels that glide smoothly across your windows, allowing you to adjust the amount of light and privacy in your space.

We manufacture both flat and roman-style panel glides, offering flexibility in design and blinds can be operated by a simple cord system, hand wand, or even motorised for a luxurious, hassle-free experience.
