Inspiration for your Home

Real Homes. Real Families. Real Transformation.

Every home tells a story, and at Shades of Australia, we’re honored to be part of yours. From new builds to renovations and outdoor upgrades, we help create beautiful, comfortable spaces. Here are a few recent projects, with many more on the way.

Blackburn House - Seamless Privacy & Light Control

New build - full home window furnishings

Spacious living room with wood floors, white walls, and a dining table, featuring a fireplace, TV, and sheer curtains.

This beautiful modern home required a complete window furnishing solution from the early planning stage. By collaborating during the build process, we were able to incorporate recessed curtain tracks in the main living areas for a seamless aesthetic finish.

Highlights

  • Perfect light control and privacy without visual clutter
  • Soft, warm finishes that complement designer interiors
  • A refined, seamless result with long-term durability

Scope

  • Recessed curtain tracks with soft sheer curtains in the living areas 
  • Plantation shutters in all bedrooms & wet areas
  • Heavy blockout curtains in the master bedroom 
  • Silverscreen roller blinds in upstairs west-facing windows
  • Consultation during build to future-proof fittings
  • Custom-measured and installed by the Shades of Australia team

Testimonials


We couldn’t be happier with the transformation of our new home, thanks to the incredible team at Shades. From the very first consultation to the final installation, their professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise were second to none. 


Elisabeth, Nathan and the team were an absolute pleasure to work with—warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us bring our vision to life. To say our building journey was not a smooth one is an understatement; Elisabeth and Nathan were cognisant of this and offered thoughtful suggestions, keeping us informed throughout the process and ensuring our journey with Shades was smooth sailing. The installation team, Steve and Dan, were equally impressive—efficient, respectful, and professional. 


The sheers bring a soft, elegant warmth to the kitchen, dining and living space, while the curtains provide privacy and perfectly complement our interiors. The plantation shutters are not only beautiful but also incredibly functional, offering privacy and light control.


Every element is customised to our space, and the quality is outstanding. We’ve had so many compliments from friends and family, and we’re genuinely thrilled with the results. Thank you, Shades, for helping us turn our house into a home we absolutely love.


Warmest thanks,

Steph & Damian

  • Custom fit for seamless integration for outdoor kitchen & dining

This home’s alfresco space is now a true all-weather retreat, thanks to a thoughtful combination of outdoor shading solutions. We installed tracked blinds on three sides along with a retractable roof system to create comfort and protection from sun, wind and rain – with no need for a planning permit.

The staff and everyone associated have been very good with customer service from start to finish including delivery and minor fix ups as required.

This stunning new build was brought to life by interior designer Nicole Lawyer, who invited us to execute her design brief for her own home. Working alongside YSC Architects and Darling Builders, we delivered tailored window furnishings that complemented the architectural vision and refined interior palette.
