Why Spotlight Is Australia's Go-To for Custom Blinds and Curtains

We know all too well the struggle of getting custom blinds and curtains in Australia. With countless styles, fabrics and measurements to consider, it can be difficult to know where to start. Add in the hassle of coordinating advice, measuring your windows, ordering and installation across different providers, the process can quickly become overwhelming. That's why Australians have trusted Spotlight for blinds and curtains for more than 50 years. From expert in-store guidance to free measure and quote services all the way through to made-to-measure window solutions and professional installation, Spotlight helps to simplify every step of your made-to-measure journey. Whether you're updating a single room or looking to refresh every window in your home, with our made-to-measure service, you can enjoy quality products, practical advice and a personalised service all in one convenient place.

1. We're the Only Place in Australia You Can Get Custom-Made Window Furnishings and DIY Fabric Under One Roof

Spotlight is the only retailer in Australia combining a full Made to Measure window furnishings service. We also offer an extensive range of curtain fabrics sold by the metre, sewing supplies and haberdashery for those looking to DIY their own curtains. Specialist competitors sell finished products only and do not stock fabric, linings, heading tape or sewing supplies alongside a custom service. With Spotlight, you have the flexibility to choose between our Made to Measure service or buying fabric to sew your own curtains, all in the same visit.

2. Get a Free In-Home Measure and Quote With No Strings Attached

Spotlight offers a free in-home measure and quote for custom-made curtains, blinds, shutters and outdoor awnings. With this service, a consultant visits your home, takes precise measurements, presents fabric and style options, and provides a quote at no cost and with no obligation to proceed. You can book online, visit in-store or call 1300 662 742.

3. Every Made-to-Measure Curtain and Blind Is Assembled Right Here in Australia

Unlike many online retailers, Spotlight assembles its custom-made window furnishings in its own Australian workrooms. This gives greater control over quality and production timelines, helping to ensure that every order meets high standards before it reaches your home. Local assembly also allows for closer oversight throughout the process, from fabric selection all the way through to assembly. Whether you're ordering custom-made curtains, blinds or shutters, you can shop with confidence knowing your window dressings are being prepared by our experienced team.

4. Full End-to-End Service for a Single Window or an Entire Home

Spotlight's Made to Measure service handles everything from consultation and measurement through to manufacturing and installation. This service is available for a single window through to a full home fit-out. Whether you need one room sorted or an entire property fitted out, the service and process is the same.

5. We've Got Australia's Largest Made-to-Measure Range for Indoor and Outdoor Living

Spotlight's made-to-measure range makes it easy to find the perfect window dressings for every room in your home. Choose from custom roller blinds, roman blinds, venetian blinds, panel blinds, transition blinds, vertical blinds, cellular blinds, Veri Shades, plantation shutters, outdoor blinds and Ziptrak® outdoor blinds, along with custom-made curtains in a wide range of colours and fabric types. With these window dressings, you can block light, enhance privacy or create a softer, more peaceful aesthetic in your home. Across the range, you can choose from a variety of fabric options, including blockout, light-filtering, sheer and thermal.

6. Motorisation With a Broad Range of Control Options

With our made-to-measure service, motorisation is available for custom-made blinds and curtains, allowing you to control light and privacy at the touch of a button. Available across a wide range of window dressings, motorised curtains and blinds can be controlled through a remote control, smartphone app, voice activation, sun and wind sensors and home automation integration. By eliminating cords and chains, motorised window dressings help elevate the safety for homes with children and pets. Motorisation is also a great option for hard-to-reach windows such as stairwells and high windows.

7. Over 120 Stores Across Australia

Spotlight has over 120 stores across Australia, making it the most accessible custom window furnishings retailer in the country. Most stores have an in-store consultant available to discuss Made to Measure requirements, while our online-only competitors or smaller specialist retailers offer limited physical locations. You can also shop our made-to-measure service online and use click and collect to pick up your blinds.

8. Express Options for Time-Sensitive Orders

Spotlight offers express production options on select Made to Measure products, helping you to receive your curtains or blinds sooner when timing is important. Simply discuss your needs with your consultant early on in the process. The consultant can then guide you through suitable express options and help to ensure your order is processed as efficiently as possible.

9. 50+ Years of Window Furnishing Expertise

Spotlight has been serving Australians since 1973, giving it over 50 years of window furnishings expertise. Starting as a fabric stall at Melbourne's Queen Victoria Market, Spotlight has grown into Australia's largest fabric, craft and homewares retailer. This heritage means Spotlight has a deep understanding of what Australian homes need across every climate, style and budget.

10. Australian-Owned and Knows What Aussie Homeowners Are Really After

Spotlight is Australian-owned and family-operated, and has been since it was founded in 1973. This local ownership gives Spotlight a genuine understanding of how Australians live, the conditions our homes face and what we actually want from our window furnishings.
