Curtains
Curtains give you privacy, softness, light control and some insulation, and the way they fit matters more than the weight of the fabric. A review of curtain research found published heat-saving figures range from about 3.8% to 38%, and that the biggest driver is how well the covering is sealed at the perimeter (Fitton et al., Energy Efficiency, 2017). Apollo Blinds, established in 1988, makes every curtain to measure and installs it across NSW and the ACT, starting with a free in-home measure and quote.

How Curtains Enhance Your Home Decor
Choosing the right curtains does more than control light and privacy — it plays a key role in elevating your overall home décor. Curtains help define the style and atmosphere of each room.
Improve Your Home Décor with Stylish and Functional Curtains
Bedroom light matters. A single night in moderate room light (100 lux) rather than dim light (3 lux) raised overnight heart rate and was followed by higher insulin resistance the next morning (Northwestern University, PNAS 2022). In older adults, bedroom light of 5 lux or more at night was linked with 1.89 times the risk of developing depressive symptoms (Obayashi et al., 2018). Long, full-width blockout curtains with a good overlap at the sides, and a pelmet or track set close to the ceiling, keep light from leaking around the edges. Layer them over blockout roller blinds for the darkest room.
Upgrade Your Privacy and Light Control with Curtains
Published estimates of how much heat curtains save differ by roughly tenfold, from 3.8% to 38%, so any single number needs context (Fitton et al., 2017). The research points to fit: a curtain that hangs close to the wall, reaches the floor and is sealed at the sides and top holds a still layer of air against the window. Heavy curtains cut heat loss by 39% in a UK whole-house test facility with single-glazed sash windows (Historic England research, 2017), a cold-climate result that shows the effect of a good layer. That is why Apollo curtains are custom-made to your window, with a full-length, full-width fit. Pair them with blinds such as cellular or roller blinds to layer your insulation, or add plantation shutters.
Keep expectations honest. In US testing, a headline room-level saving of 17 to 34% from cellular shades shrank to only 1.5 to 9% of total home energy in simulation, so a “30% saving” describes the window zone, not your power bill (ORNL and LBNL, 2022). The real win is comfort: no cold drafts off the glass and no hot afternoon sun on your sofa.

Curtains vs blinds vs shutters: which is right?
Curtains give the softest look and are best for bedrooms and living areas. Blinds give crisp light control: roller blinds are the simplest and most affordable option, while cellular blinds insulate best (ORNL and LBNL, 2022). Plantation shutters add a premium finish and strong insulation: closed shutters cut heat loss by 64% in a UK single-glazed test home, against 39% for heavy curtains (Historic England research, 2017). Many Apollo customers combine two: shutters or blinds for control, and curtains for warmth and style.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of curtains does Apollo Blinds provide?
Apollo Blinds provides custom-made curtains designed for privacy, light control, insulation and interior styling. The range includes sheer and natural fabrics, with options suited to living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas and larger windows.
Are Apollo curtains custom-made?
Yes. Apollo curtains are made to measure, so they can be tailored to suit your window size, room layout, fabric choice and preferred look. During the free in-home measure and quote, an Apollo consultant can help you choose the right curtain style and fabric for your home.
Do curtains help with privacy?
Yes. Curtains are a strong choice for privacy because they let you control how much of the room is visible from outside. Sheer curtains can soften outside views during the day, while heavier fabrics can provide greater privacy when closed. They are particularly useful for Sydney apartments and street-facing rooms.
Can curtains help control light?
Yes. Curtains can help reduce glare, soften natural light or block more light depending on the fabric selected. Blockout curtain fabrics are suitable for bedrooms, media rooms and spaces where stronger light control is needed.
Do curtains help with insulation?
Curtains can help improve comfort by adding a layer between the window and the room. Heavier curtain fabrics can help reduce heat transfer through glass, supporting a warmer room in cooler months and a cooler room in warmer weather.
This can help make Sydney homes more comfortable during hot summer afternoons.
Are Apollo curtains easy to operate?
Yes. Apollo’s curtain options are designed for everyday use. Depending on the selected product and setup, your consultant can recommend a curtain solution that suits your window size, access needs and room layout.
Are Apollo curtains easy to maintain?
Many curtain fabrics are designed to be easy to care for, but the correct maintenance depends on the fabric type. Your Apollo consultant can guide you on fabric care during the selection process.
Are Apollo curtains made in Australia?
Apollo proudly manufactures many of its quality products in Australia, using materials and production standards suited to Australian homes.
Does Apollo install the curtains?
Yes. Apollo provides professional installation. After your consultation and product selection, your curtains are custom-made and installed by trained professionals for a neat, accurate finish.
Are curtains better than blinds for insulation?
A well-fitted curtain can insulate better than a loose blind. Published curtain savings range from 3.8% to 38%, and the biggest driver is how well the covering is sealed at the edges (Fitton et al., 2017). Cellular blinds are the best-performing blind type (ORNL and LBNL, 2022). Layering both gives the best result.
Do blockout curtains help me sleep?
They can. Sleeping in moderate light (100 lux) rather than dim light (3 lux) raised heart rate overnight and led to higher insulin resistance the next morning (Northwestern University, 2022). Choose blockout fabric, full-width fit and overlap at the centre to keep light out.
How long should curtains be?
For insulation and a clean look, curtains that reach the floor and extend past the window on each side hold a layer of still air against the glass and block light leaking around the edges. Your Apollo consultant will measure for the right drop at your free in-home visit.
Are curtains safe for children?
Choose cord-free operation and keep cots and beds away from windows. The ACCC reports that 4 of the 6 child deaths after the 2010 cord standard involved a cot or bed close to a window with a corded covering (ACCC, 2019).
