R& D Curtains

The window makeover that completely changed the room – R&D Curtains

Sometimes you don’t realise how much something is affecting a room until you replace it.

That was definitely the case with our roller blinds.

They did the job, but they made the room feel fairly plain and, honestly, a little unfinished. I wanted something that would make the space feel warmer and more polished while still giving us proper privacy and the ability to block out the light when needed.

That’s when I contacted R&D Curtains.

We decided to replace the existing roller blinds with new sheer and blockout curtains, and the difference was much bigger than I expected.

The sheers completely changed the feel of the room during the day. They let the natural light in while still giving us privacy, without making the room feel dark or closed off.

Then you’ve got the blockout curtains when you actually want to shut the world out.

The combination is something I hadn’t really appreciated until we had it installed. It’s not just about how the curtains look — they’re actually much more practical than the old roller blinds.

What really stood out to me about R&D Curtains was the attention to the finished result.

Anyone can sell you curtains, but there’s a big difference between simply putting fabric over a window and getting the proportions, installation and overall look right.

Once the curtains were up, the room looked completely different.

It felt softer, warmer and much more finished. It was one of those renovations where you look at it afterwards and think, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”

And that’s why I’d happily recommend R&D Curtains.

It wasn’t some enormous renovation project, but it made a noticeable difference to the way our home feels every day.

The old roller blinds were functional, but the new sheer and blockout curtains made the room feel like an actual finished space.

The total cost of the curtains and installation was $12k

Would I use R&D Curtains again?

Absolutely.

If someone told me they were looking at replacing their blinds or wanted to add curtains to a room, I’d have no hesitation recommending them.

Sometimes the best home improvements aren’t the biggest ones.

They’re the ones that make you walk into the room afterwards and think:

“Wow. That looks so much better.”
