Sure, sheer curtains are gorgeous for the daytime — soft light, breezy elegance, the whole “coastal Instagram dream.” But let’s be real: sometimes you want the outside world to stay firmly… outside. Whether it’s for sleeping in (without the sunrise rudely nudging you awake), enjoying a pitch-black movie marathon, or just protecting your privacy from nosy neighbours, blockout curtains are the hero you didn’t know you needed. At Brisbane Shutters, our custom-made blockout curtains are designed right here in Brisbane. They’re not just practical; they’re downright luxurious. These window treatments offer excellent shielding from external light and heat, helping you control your indoor environment. With a wide array of styles, fabrics, and features, our blockout curtains cater to every taste and need. Many of our options are crafted to deliver timeless elegance, with classic colours and designs that never go out of style. And because they’re tailored to your space, they fit like a glove, look incredible, and make your home feel instantly more refined.

This makes them a smart choice for anyone looking to improve energy efficiency and conserve energy in their home.

FABRICS & STYLES THAT DON’T COMPROMISE
Just because you’re chasing darkness doesn’t mean your curtains need to look dark and heavy. With our exclusive Trendz Fabric Range, you’ll find everything from understated neutrals to bold, dramatic tones. Choose from a wide range of colours, hues, and patterns—like floral motifs or abstract designs—to enhance the aesthetics of your space and express your personal style. The selection also includes a variety of textures, so you can find the perfect fabric for both look and feel. Each curtain is carefully crafted for quality and style, ensuring your window treatments are as beautiful as they are functional. And yes, they’re designed to work seamlessly with our sheer curtains, so you can mix and match without a style clash.
When it comes to headers (yes, the bit at the top matters more than you think), we’ve got options that tick every box and allow you to select the right width for optimal coverage and enhanced room appearance:
- Pinch Pleat Curtains – Double pleat for subtle luxury, or triple pleat when you’re feeling full-on “theatre curtain” fabulous.
- Wave Fold Curtains – Smooth, modern, and oh-so-chic. Ideal for open-plan spaces with a contemporary edge.
- Box Pleat Curtains – Clean lines, structured folds, and perfect for that polished architectural vibe.
For those seeking maximum darkness and insulation, you can also opt for an extra layer to boost light blocking and thermal performance.
And yes — just like our sheers — we can motorise them. Imagine closing your curtains with the tap of a button, coffee in hand, not a cord in sight. Bliss.
DOUBLE THE CURTAINS, DOUBLE THE MAGIC
Blockout curtains are amazing on their own, but when paired with sheer curtains on a double track? Chef’s kiss. You get soft daylight when you want it, and total privacy or darkness when you need it. Blockout curtains are the perfect solution for bedrooms and living rooms, offering complete darkness for restful sleep or creating the right ambiance for relaxation and entertainment.
And because we custom-make everything, you can mix and match styles across your home. Want wave folds in the living room, pinch pleats in the bedroom, and box pleats in your office? Go for it. Our range ensures you’ll find a suitable option for every space, so no room has to be a copy-paste from a catalogue.
READY FOR CURTAINS THAT WORK AS HARD AS THEY LOOK?
Your home deserves more than “good enough” curtains. Whether you’re after a soft, glowing vibe with sheers or full-on light-blocking power with blockouts, Brisbane Shutters has you covered — literally.
Blockout curtains offer a range of benefits, including enhanced energy efficiency, noise reduction, and improved sleep quality. Made from durable materials, they are designed to last and are easy to maintain—regular care helps maintain their appearance and ensures the best results over time.
