Carlton Residence
As part of a terrace home renovation and extension in Carlton, the owners were looking for flexible light control and privacy solutions that would suit both the original home and the new rear extension. Being street-facing, privacy was a key concern. At the same time, the rear living zone required softness and a more elevated aesthetic to suit the updated architectural design.

For this architecturally striking new build in Kew, the brief was clear: the window furnishings needed to complement the home’s modern design while delivering everyday practicality.
The home features clean lines, square-set windows and generous glazing. The owners wanted solutions that would feel built-in rather than applied, with strong light control, privacy and ease of use — particularly across large sliding doors opening onto the deck and garden.
Project Overview
This residential project focused on creating a calm, elegant bedroom using custom blackout curtains and tailored valances. Our team worked closely with the client to understand their vision for a sophisticated retreat that combines luxury aesthetics with practical light control solutions.

Service
Consultation, check & measure, supply, installation
Across most of the home, we installed double roller blinds, pairing:
- Sunscreen blinds for daytime use
- Blockout roller blinds for night-time privacy
This dual system allows the homeowners to enjoy natural light during the day while maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties. In the evening, the blockout layer provides full room darkenin
In the rear living area of the extension, which opens to the outdoor space, the brief shifted. Here, the clients wanted a softer and more luxurious feel.
We installed:
- Floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains
- Motorised blockout roller blinds positioned behind
The sheers emphasise the ceiling height and soften the natural light, making the space feel larger and more open. The motorised blockout blinds provide instant control when needed.
Key details included:
- Planning stack-back to avoid obstructing sliding door function
- Aligning tracks cleanly with ceiling lines
- Integrating motorisation discreetly
