Curtains and blinds are more than simple window coverings; at their best they can form a focal point in a room, adding colour and distinction to a wide range of interiors, from high class and elegant to simple and restrained. Even low key window coverings with a high quality finish can lift a room beyond the ordinary.
With exhibitors including the Window Coverings Association of Australia (WCAA) - whose members comply with rigorous Code of Ethics and Industry Standards to ensure satisfaction to end users - Decoration + Design promises to bring visitors the pick of the crop in curtains and blinds, as well as scores of other window coverings and accessories such as shutters, drapes, pelmets and swags.
The presence of superlative interior decoration and fabrication suppliers such as Tigger Hall on the stands means interior designers and other parties interested in sourcing original curtains and blinds textiles will find plenty to interest them.
Possessing a design background of more than two decades, Tigger Hall established her business after finding a gap in the market for original and aesthetically superior fabrics to serve interior designers in Australia. Her range is the fruit of extensive globe trotting to source exquisite fabrics from internationally renowned designers.
Also in the curtains and blinds category, companies such as Australia Siger offer a broad and colourful range of curtains and blinds, while other such as GGL International, which offers Basswood shutters, Western Red Cedar shutters and PVC shutters, or The Window Outfitters with its compelling array of high quality shutters, widen the scope of window coverings yet further.
