Frequently asked questions
What are the best curtains for a bedroom in NZ?
For most bedrooms in New Zealand, a blockout or triple weave curtain delivers the best sleep results. Your consultant will assess your window orientation and light levels and recommend the right fabric for your room.
Do bedroom curtains need to be blockout?
Not always, but blockout or lined curtains are the most effective for sleep quality. Your consultant will discuss your specific sleep needs and suggest the right level of light control.
How do I stop light coming in around bedroom curtains?
Extending the curtain beyond the window frame on all sides, making it floor length, and hanging it close to the ceiling minimises light bleed. Your consultant will measure and position your curtains to close as many gaps as possible.
What curtains make a bedroom look bigger?
Hanging curtains high and wide, with a fabric that extends wall to wall, creates the illusion of a larger space. Your consultant will advise on the best approach for your room during the in-home visit.
Can bedroom curtains help with insulation?
Yes. Thermal and triple weave curtains add meaningful insulation and can make a notable difference to bedroom warmth during NZ winters. Your consultant will explain the options.
Can bedroom curtains be custom-made in NZ?
Yes. All Russells bedroom curtains are custom-made to your exact measurements in our Nelson workroom, backed by our Guaranteed Perfect Fit.
Should bedroom curtains touch the floor?
Floor-length or skim-length curtains create the most elegant look and best light seal. Your consultant will advise on the right drop for your room and ceiling height during the consultation.
How do I choose curtains for a master bedroom?
Consider light control, privacy, thermal performance, and style. Our consultants come to your home with a full range of fabric samples and help you balance all four. Request a consultation and we'll arrange a free in-home visit.
Are curtains a good choice if we’ve got kids or pets?
They’re one of the safest choices you can make. Curtains don’t need cords or chains to work, so there’s nothing dangling for little hands or curious paws. We’d steer you away from cord controls — and if you’d rather not draw them by hand (which can mark the fabric over time), a wand or automation keeps things easy and safe. Just ask and we’ll talk you through it.
