Choosing the right blind fabric isn’t just about looks—it’s about comfort, durability, and performance in Australia’s unique climate. Whether you’re after heat protection, privacy, or just the latest look, these are the top 3 blind fabrics dominating in 2025.

Textured Blockout Fabric: Soft, Stylish & Functional

Textured blockout fabrics are this year’s must-have. They blend practicality (total light blockout + privacy) with style, thanks to subtle woven finishes and modern colour options.

Perfect for:

• Bedrooms
• Living rooms
• Media rooms

Why it’s trending:

• Adds warmth and texture to minimal interiors
• Offers full privacy and insulation
• Available in soft tones like stone, oat, and greige

Tip: Pair with sheer curtains for a high-end layered look.

Screen Fabric: Cool, Breezy, and Daylight-Friendly

Need privacy without losing your view? Screen fabrics are ideal for letting in filtered daylight while blocking harsh UV rays—making them perfect for bright Aussie homes.

Perfect for:

• Kitchens
• Lounge rooms
• Offices

Why Aussies love it:

• Keeps interiors cooler in summer
• Reduces glare without darkening rooms
• Allows a view outside during the day

Tip: Great for north and west-facing windows where sun hits hardest.

Dual Fabric Combo: Versatile for Day & Night

Why choose one fabric when you can have two? Dual roller blinds combine a screen fabric (for daytime) and a blockout fabric (for night), giving you total control in one smart solution.

Perfect for:

• Open-plan homes
• Bedrooms that double as home offices
• Apartments

Why it’s 2025’s top upgrade:

• Handles all light/privacy needs
• Streamlined and modern
• Saves space while offering full flexibility

Tip: Choose a light screen layer + a dark blockout for the best contrast and coverage.
