dollar curtains + blinds has been helping Australians transform their homes with quality window furnishings since 1967.
The business began in outer suburban Melbourne, selling curtain fabric for just a dollar per metre. From those humble beginnings, dollar curtains + blinds has grown to become one of Australia’s most recognised names in window furnishings, with a network of more than 30 stores.
More than 55 years of experience
For generations, Australian families have trusted dollar curtains + blinds for custom made curtains, blinds, shutters and outdoor window furnishings.
A major point of difference is the company’s commitment to Australian manufacturing. Curtains, blinds and awnings are handcrafted to order through local manufacturing facilities, combining experienced craftsmanship with modern manufacturing technology and quality control.
The business provides customers with a complete service, from an initial consultation and free measure and quote through to custom manufacturing and professional installation.

The franchise network combines the strength and recognition of an established Australian brand with local business owners who understand their communities and customers.

Part of the Carpet Call Group
In 2026, dollar curtains + blinds became part of the Carpet Call Group, bringing together three established Australian retail brands: Carpet Call, Solomons Flooring and dollar curtains + blinds.
The addition of dollar curtains + blinds creates new opportunities for the group and its franchise partners, combining extensive flooring and window furnishing expertise within a growing national retail network.
While each brand maintains its own identity, customers and market position, they benefit from the combined experience, resources and scale of the wider group.
One showroom. More opportunities.
A key opportunity within the group is the ability to bring flooring and window furnishings together under one roof.
An existing flooring store can add a dollar curtains + blinds offering, while an established dollar curtains + blinds showroom can introduce flooring through one of the group’s flooring brands.
This allows franchise partners to make better use of their existing showroom, team and customer base while introducing an additional revenue stream without necessarily establishing a completely separate retail location.
Flooring and window furnishings also naturally complement each other. Customers renovating, building or updating their home will often need both, creating opportunities to service more of their project and generate additional sales from existing enquiries.
For franchise partners, the benefits can include greater utilisation of showroom space, access to new customer categories, cross selling opportunities and the ability to diversify their business across multiple home improvement categories.
This means that a new franchisee joining our group may be able to take advantage of two very strong and identifiable brands in the one location.
A business built for the future
With a history spanning more than five decades, local manufacturing, an established franchise network and continued expansion into new markets, dollar curtains + blinds is entering an exciting new stage of growth.
For prospective franchisees, it provides the opportunity to operate a locally owned business backed by an established Australian brand, proven systems, an extensive product offering and the support of one of Australia’s largest flooring and window furnishings retail groups.
