Theatre Curtains Melbourne

1. They Need to Block Out Light

Glare on a television or projector can make it extremely difficult to enjoy what you’re watching. Installing inadequate curtains in your theatre room can turn daytime movies into frustrating affairs with the sun making it hard to see anything at all. High-quality, properly sized curtains can block almost if not every ounce of light from entering your windows & viewing space.

You’ll enjoy your favourite movies and TV shows without squinting to make out what’s happening. At Alfresco Blinds Co, we offer a wide range of fabrics and details that will give you complete control over how much light enters your home theatre room.

2. They Need to Block External Sounds

When you’re watching a movie in your own home, the last thing you want to hear is your neighbour mowing the lawn or the dogs barking at the fence. External sound can ruin the experience of immersing yourself in a movie, especially when you live on a busy street or close to your neighbours.

Not only will heavy curtains block the light from entering, but they’ll also help prevent unwanted noises from distracting you while you relax. Thermal curtains are made with 3 layers of bonded fabric that work perfectly for soundproofing while reducing your energy bills.

3. They Need to Look How You Want Them to

Creating a home theatre room gives you the opportunity to get creative. You will have complete control over the décor that goes into this space; after all, it’s meant to be functional without compromising on the fun. Create a classic, red-draped cinema, a luxurious Victorian manor with wood panels, or a modern, black space that transports you to another world. The choices are endless!

Regardless of your style preferences, your theatre room curtains need to be versatile enough to fade into the background. Dark green, deep red and opaque black curtains are all common choices for neutral drapes that perfectly block the light.

4. They Need to Be Easy to Look After

When you’re shopping for your heavy drapes, have a look at the kind of fabric that was used in their manufacturing. When you live with pets, children or parties, there’s a high possibility that your new curtains will suffer spills and stains. If the curtains are machine washable or tolerate a form of washing/cleaning, that’s one less problem you’ll have to deal with. Messes happen, so being able to wash, dry and rehang your curtains in the one day will make your cleaning list a whole lot easier.

5. They Need to Fit Your Space Perfectly

Adequate light and sound control come down to whether or not your curtains are well fitted. Carefully measure the length of your windows and walls, purchasing curtain panels that are long enough to remove any chance of light entering the room. Whether you have high and small windows or floor-to-ceiling windows, it’s always a good idea to choose curtains that start from the ceiling and fall all the way to the floor.

Longer curtains also have a more luxurious and dramatic feel to them, creating that perfect balance between style and functionality. Have your room professionally measured for free by Alfresco Blinds Co and ensure your curtains are absolutely perfect for the room.
