Pelmets and Custom Curtains Melbourne
Complete your window furnishings with a beautifully designed pelmet. Often seen as a finishing detail, pelmets play an important role in both the appearance and performance of your curtains. A well-crafted pelmet creates a refined, tailored finish while also acting as a practical insulator. By forming a seal above the curtain, pelmets help prevent warm air from escaping in winter and keep cool air inside during summer, improving comfort and potentially reducing energy costs in Melbourne homes.
Beyond their functional benefits, pelmets give a clean, streamlined look from the top of the window to the base of the curtain, adding a considered, architectural finish to your window furnishings. At Nicholls Interiors, pelmets can be custom-designed in a variety of shapes and styles to complement your curtains and overall interior scheme. Our experienced team will guide you through the options to ensure your pelmet enhances both style and performance.
Block Out Curtains For Energy Efficiency
Curtains with attached linings are ideal for Melbourne homes, helping to reduce energy use during hot summers and cool winters. Pairing blockout curtains with a matching pelmet maximises insulation while creating a polished look.
For bedrooms, blockout curtains are perfect for darkening the room, ensuring restful sleep even during bright mornings. Our showroom stocks a wide range of blockout fabrics in various colours, textures, and styles to suit your space and personal taste.
Theatre Curtains
With the rise of theatre rooms in Melbourne and Bayside homes, many homeowners are opting for lush velvet curtains to replicate a true theatre experience. These curtains also improve sound insulation, creating an immersive environment for movies or music. Our showroom features full-sized samples to help you choose the perfect fabric and style.

For uniquely shaped or challenging windows, our custom curtain team can design and craft solutions that fit perfectly while controlling light, enhancing privacy, and improving energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions About Curtains And Blinds
-
Yes they are one of the best internal options for insulation. The curtains are lined with an excellent quality 3 pass lining which provides the highest level of blockout and insulation. Curtains are also usually installed higher and wider than the windows and overlap in the middle eliminating gaps which prevent transfer of air keeping your room cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Adding a pelmet to your curtains further improves insulation as the air cannot transfer over the top of the curtain.
-
Blockout curtains and drapes can be installed face fit onto the wall or top fix into the ceiling. They can be installed on standard styeline tracks which are designed to not to be noticed or on decorative rods/ tracks to make a feature of them.
-
We suggest having a professional come and clean them while installed or consult an expert drycleaner who specialises in curtains. Make sure you make the cleaner aware of the fabric composition so they can give you the best advice (and discuss the possibility of shrinkage). The lining on the back of the curtain cannot be dry-cleaned.
-
We can make pelmets in the same fabric or a co-ordinating fabric to your curtains to complete your look. We can also make timber pelmets painted in any dulux colour to conceal the top of the curtains and blend in with your walls.
