If you’re seeking to elevate the look of your window treatments, a well-chosen curtain pelmet from Blinds on Demand could be the perfect solution. Pelmets are decorative elements that not only provide an aesthetic appeal to your windows but also hide curtain fixtures and can potentially improve energy efficiency. In this guide, we will explore the different types of curtain pelmets, their benefits, and why Blinds on Demand is your go-to choice for high-quality, stylish curtain pelmets in Australia.
Understanding Curtain Pelmets
Curtain pelmets, or simply pelmets, are ornamental frameworks placed at the top of a window to conceal the curtain fixtures. Originating from 19th-century France, they’ve been an elegant choice in window dressing for years and are available in a variety of styles, materials, and designs.
According to IBISWorld, the blinds and curtains industry in Australia grew by 3.2% between 2019 and 2024, indicating a resurgence in popularity for classic decorative items such as pelmets.
Different Styles of Curtain Pelmets
There are several types of curtain pelmets that you can consider, each with its unique charm and elegance:
- Box Pelmets: These are the most traditional style, creating a neat, square-edged appearance over your windows.
- Shaped Pelmets: For a more dynamic look, shaped pelmets offer designs that include scallops, curves, and asymmetrical lines.
- Fabric-Covered Pelmets: These are typically a wooden frame covered with decorative fabric that matches or complements your curtains.
- Upholstered Pelmets: Similar to fabric-covered pelmets but with an extra layer of padding for a more luxurious feel.
- Timber Pelmets: These are usually made from wood and can be painted or stained to match your room’s decor.
- Metal Pelmets: Generally used in modern or industrial design styles, these pelmets offer a sleek, contemporary look.
Benefits of Curtain Pelmets
Curtain pelmets not only offer a stylish finish to your windows but also bring practical benefits:
- Energy Efficiency: Curtain pelmets can trap the air that tends to flow downwards from the window, reducing heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer. This can potentially contribute to lower energy bills.
- Reduced Light Leakage: Pelmets block the small gap between the curtain and the wall, reducing light leakage into the room.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Pelmets add a layer of sophistication and completeness to your window treatments, enhancing the overall decor of your room.
With Blinds on Demand, you can explore a variety of pelmet designs, each crafted with an eye for detail and a commitment to quality.

- Avoid Harsh Cleaning Agents: If you need to clean a stain, use a mild detergent diluted in warm water. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents as they may damage the fabric or finish.
