As our world becomes more connected, seamless communication between smart devices has become essential. Enter Matter technology — a groundbreaking solution designed to unify the smart home landscape. Here’s a breakdown of Matter’s key features and the impact it could have on the future of smart homes.
Matter is a universal smart home protocol developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), formerly the Zigbee Alliance. Matter’s goal is simple yet powerful: to standardise communication between smart devices, regardless of brand or platform.
Traditionally, smart home devices required specific hubs or apps to work, creating a fragmented experience and limiting compatibility. With Matter, devices from brands like Apple, Google, and Amazon can now work together seamlessly, giving customers greater flexibility and freedom when building their smart homes.
Matter serves as a universal “language” for smart devices, using existing networking standards like Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Thread — a low-power, low-latency mesh protocol. It overlays these technologies, letting devices communicate smoothly within one unified network.
For example, if you have a Matter-compatible light, thermostat, and security camera from various brands, Matter allows them to work together seamlessly. You can control all devices from one app or voice assistant, eliminating the need for multiple apps and interfaces.
Matter has received strong backing from major tech brands, including Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and Zigbee, who are integrating it into their platforms. This industry-wide support suggests that Matter may soon become the standard for smart home devices.
The outlook for Matter is promising. As more devices adopt this protocol, smart homes will become more intuitive, connected, and user-friendly. By bridging ecosystem gaps, Matter could drive smart home adoption and spark new innovations.
With Matter’s focus on simplicity, interoperability, and security, it’s set to lead the way for the next generation of smart homes. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or new to smart home tech, Matter will make your experience simpler, safer, and more connected.
Introducing our Matter-enabled motors, BlindsIQ for blinds and CurtainIQ for curtains — innovations designed to elevate the smart home experience with seamless integration, enhanced functionality, and better energy efficiency. Here’s what makes our Matter-enabled motors a superior choice over traditional options:
Our Matter-enabled motor doesn’t just streamline integration across diverse smart home platforms; it sets a new standard for convenience, efficiency, and security. With a Matter motor, you’re choosing future-proof smart home technology that enhances daily life and brings true interconnectivity to your space.
Matter technology is reshaping the smart home industry by setting a universal standard for device communication. With backing from industry leaders and a focus on security and energy efficiency, Matter is paving the way for a cohesive, sustainable smart home ecosystem. By choosing Matter, you gain the convenience of a truly connected home while future-proofing your investment in smart technology.
There’s no time like the summer time, to start thinking about your new window furnishings!
Summer typically brings hot weather, longer days, and more sunlight. To ensure your window furnishings not only look good but are also functional, read on to learn about some key considerations when it comes to selecting what type of product would work best for your home.
Summer days can provide an excellent opportunity to assess how natural light enters your home and affects your living spaces. Observing the intensity and direction of sunlight during the summer can help you make the best decisions when it comes to deciding between Roller Blinds, Plantation Shutters or Curtains.
Summer is often associated with higher temperatures. Roller blinds with sunscreen or blackout fabrics can help regulate the indoor temperature by blocking out excessive heat and sunlight. In addition, sunscreen blinds are brilliant for retaining you view to outside world, whilst reducing the sun’s glare off the TV or your computer screen.
While block out curtains are often associated with providing warmth in cooler months, they can also have a role in regulating the indoor temperatures during the summer. Choosing curtains with insulating properties can help keep your home cooler and potentially reduce the need for air-conditioning and other cooling systems.
Similar to other window coverings, plantation shutters contribute to energy efficiency by providing insulation.
You could (and should) consider motorizing your blinds or curtains and integrating them into your smart home. This way you can set up timers to open or close your window coverings at certain times of the day to regulate and maintain your homes internal temperature. The additional cost of a motorized blind or curtain can lead to energy savings and lower energy bills, making motorized roller blinds and curtains a cost-effective investment.
All of these products will contribute to a more comfortable and cooler living environment.
In warmer weather, the desire for good ventilation becomes more apparent.
Plantation shutters are designed to provide effective ventilation when open. During the summer, when fresh air is particularly welcome, the ability to control airflow with adjustable louvers is an appealing feature.
Curtains, especially lightweight and breathable fabrics – like sheer curtains – can contribute to a well ventilated and comfortable living space during the summer months.
Be sure to choose the silent bottom rail, if selecting roller blinds. The special back of this bottom rail will bounce gently (and more importantly) silently off your window sills or architraves, enabling you to leave your bedroom or lounge room windows open to enjoy an evening breeze, without that annoying banging sound.
All of our Roller blind fabrics are specifically selected from reputable suppliers to ensure the safety of your family. Each of our ranges carries a Green guard certification. None of our fabrics contain VOC’s.
Be very wary of cheaper lower quality fabrics, as they can ‘gas off’ when sitting in direct sunlight, (I know right!?) causing skin irritations or breathing difficulties.
For individuals with allergies, summer is a time when pollen levels can be high. Plantation shutters are relatively easy to clean, and their design minimizes the collection of dust and allergens, making them a potentially beneficial choice for those with respiratory sensitivities.
You could (and should) consider motorising your blinds or curtains and integrating them into your smart home. This way you can set up timers to open or close your window coverings at certain times of the day to regulate and maintain your homes internal temperature. The additional cost of a motorised blind or curtain can lead to energy savings and lower energy bills, making motorised roller blinds and curtains a cost-effective investment.
The summer sun can be harsh, and prolonged exposure to UV rays can damage furniture, flooring, and other interior elements. Roller blinds or curtains equipped with UV-protective materials can help prevent fading and deterioration of your belongings. All of our block out curtain fabrics have UPF 50+ sun protection.
With longer daylight hours during the summer, having proper window coverings becomes crucial for maintaining privacy in your home. Roller blinds, Curtains and Plantation Shutters allow you to control the amount of light entering your space while ensuring your privacy and enhancing your security.
Holiday time is DIY time! Many homeowners embark on home improvement and redecoration projects during the summer when the weather is favorable and they may have some time off work.
Summer may inspire a desire for lighter, brighter and more vibrant interior décor. Choosing curtains or roller blind fabrics that complement the seasonal aesthetic can enhance the overall look and feel of your home during the warmer months. Whereas Plantation Shutters will add a coastal or Hamptons feel with their bright white appearance. All of these products will instantly transform the look and feel of your living spaces, providing a fresh and updated appearance to your home.

Sheer curtains can enhance your home in so many ways, adding beauty, functionality, and a sense of comfort to your living spaces. A versatile window treatment option, Sheer curtains will amplify your home’s aesthetics, provide protection from glare while still allowing natural light to filter through. Here are just some of the many benefits of using sheer curtains:
Sheer curtains offer versatility and can be used in various rooms, from living spaces and bedrooms to kitchens, dining rooms and home offices. They add a touch of style and functionality to almost any space and look stunning over a wide span of windows. From a control perspective, you have the option of a hand drawn track or you can upgrade to a motorised track for the ultimate in convenience!
Sheer curtains are made from lightweight and translucent fabrics. These fabrics allow natural light to enter your home, while softening and diffusing it. The sheer material gently filters and scatters the sunlight, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere, diluting the harshness of direct sunlight.
Although sheer curtains don’t completely block out the sun, their ability to minimise glare will increase the enjoyment of your living spaces. Reduced glare from the summer sun will make it more comfortable to sit near windows, especially in rooms where you may be working on a computer, reading, or watching TV.
Sheer curtains are particularly effective in decreasing glare during the golden hours of sunrise and sunset when sunlight can be intense, resulting in a gentle, ambient illumination in your rooms.
Sheer curtain fabrics can make a room feel more open and spacious. Their lightweight and see-through nature give the illusion of more space, which is especially beneficial for smaller living areas. If you choose to ceiling mount your sheer curtains, you will receive the added benefit of an increased sense of heighten ceilings.
Sheer curtains offer a level of privacy while still maintaining a sense of openness during the daytime. While they allow light to pass through, they obscure the view into your home from the outside, making them a great choice for rooms where you want to maintain privacy without blocking out all the light and leaving you with your view of the outside world.
Sheer curtains come in a wide range of colors, patterns, and styles. Check out our carefully curated ranges here. The delicate, ethereal appearance of sheer curtains adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your home’s interior decor. They often create a sense of airiness and can complement various design styles, from traditional to contemporary.
Sheer curtains can also help to soften the acoustics in a room, reducing echoes and creating a more serene and comfortable living environment.
Although sheer curtains are not designed for complete UV protection, they still offer some level of defense against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. The sheer fabric filters out a portion of UV radiation, helping to protect your furnishings and flooring from fading and sun damage over time.
While sheer curtains are not as effective at insulating against heat as thicker window coverings, they can still provide a minor degree of thermal insulation, which helps to stabilize indoor temperatures and reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day. During the summer, they can help to keep a room slightly cooler by reducing the direct heat gain from the sun.
To maximize the benefits of sheer curtains, you can pair them with other window treatments, such as roller blinds or blockout curtains. This allows you to have greater control over privacy, light, and glare throughout the day. Layering combinations can complement the overall design of your home and further enhance the aesthetic appeal of sheer curtains.
Sheer curtains are easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for busy living areas. An important consideration to assist with maintenance of your sheer curtains is when you select your drop effect based on the use of your rooms. Just touching or hovering over the floor will make it easier for vacuuming in high traffic areas, whilst puddling will add an increase sense of luxury to rooms such as bedrooms.
Sheer curtains can be layered with thicker window coverings such as blockout Roller blinds or curtains as the seasons change, providing flexibility in managing light and temperature throughout the year.
Overall, sheer curtains will enhance living areas by adding beauty, creating a comfortable atmosphere, and offering practical benefits like light diffusion and privacy. Their versatility and ability to complement different decor styles make them a popular choice for homeowners looking to improve the overall appeal and functionality of their living spaces.

So happy with our first DIY experience. The instructional videos made measuring and installing so easy. Loved being able to order unlimited samples so we could make the right choice. Our master bedroom previously had 5 separate roman blinds to pull up and down everyday. Now with motorised blockout they all go up/down with the press of a button. We love the end result.
Christmas! It may seem like it’s a while away yet, however before we know it, Christmas is upon us! And for some reason this happens year after year! To avoid last minute stress and to feel ready, prepared and amazing, it will pay dividends to start getting organised now.
When it comes to your new window coverings, ordering them well before you actually need them will ensure you will receive them prior to Christmas. In addition, you’ll have time to install them, avoid any last minute delays and be totally guest ready! To help get you started, we put together a few steps to consider:
You wouldn’t believe how many customers place their order just a few weeks before Christmas, not realising their blinds won’t be made until the new year. For the blinds industry, the months leading up to Christmas are the busiest times of the year. Production schedules fill up well in advance, pushing normal manufacturing times out from a few days to a few weeks! We need to navigate suppliers’ backordering stock of the most popular fabrics and components, we experience delivery delays, and there are always last-minute fires to put out. In addition, as manufacturers, we need to put ordering cut off dates in place almost a month out from Christmas. So we can fulfil our promise to the customers who have already placed their orders, their blinds will be delivered in time.
Decide on the type of window coverings you want. Roller Blinds, Curtains and Plantation Shutters all play a slightly different role when it comes to functionality and aesthetics. Consider your style preferences, the room type, privacy needs, light control levels, whether to automate and your budget. Can’t decide? Combinations of blinds, curtains or shutters not only give you a stunning outcome, but cover multiple functional requirements as well! When it comes to budget, by ordering from iSeekBlinds and DIY measure and install, you will be able to get exactly what you have always wanted – stunning custom-made blinds, curtains or shutters for a LOT less than traditional retailers. Oh, and Australian Made too!
Make sure you review all the available options for each product by checking out our Product specifications guide
Now you’ve decided what sort of window coverings you want, its time to select from our wide range of fabrics and colours for both Roller Blinds and Curtains. At iSeekBlinds, you can order unlimited samples, and we express post them free, so you get them fast! Included in your sample pack are handy check measure work sheets , as well as a reply paid envelope. Once you have made your selection, simply send your unwanted samples back to iSeekBlinds, reducing landfill and enabling us to recycle them.
DIY is so easy with iSeekBlinds. Using our handy check measure work sheets included in your sample pack (or you can download them from our website), visit our How To Measure video gallery to see just how easy it is to measure your windows. Worried about getting your measurements wrong? Don’t be! If you follow the easy to understand How to measure steps, we know you will get a mm perfect fit for your windows! Budget conscious?

Ready to checkout? Review your product order details carefully to ensure everything is correct. Once your order is placed, you’ll receive an instant order confirmation. When your order is processed, (that same day) it will be placed into our production schedule. We will send you an email update to let you know the proposed manufacturing date. Generally, your order is then shipped the following business day. Now you have an indication of when you need to set some time aside to install your new blinds!
Normally our Roller Blinds are made in 3 – 5 days, Curtains within 10 days and Plantation Shutters 2 – 3 weeks. In the months preceding Christmas, these lead times tend to blow out with the increased demand for Christmas orders. Order now to ensure your spot in our production schedule for delivery prior to Christmas.
When you order is shipped, you will receive an email with your tracking information. Your location will determine delivery time, usually 1 – 5 days. Please note that over the Christmas period, (mid to late November, all of December) huge volumes of freight will be moving all around the country – there is a risk that some orders can get delayed or go missing. As we use 3rd party couriers, this is outside of our control. The earlier you place your order, the greater the chance you have, of receiving it in full in time for Christmas.
Now you know when your blinds, curtains or shutters will be arriving, it’s time to get ready to install! At iSeekBlinds our aim is to make this as easy as possible. Our numerous customers often can’t believe what they have achieved and just how easy it was by watching out How To Install videos. Starting with mm perfect measurements, you will stand back in awe and admire your handy work, whilst doing a little jig about how much money you saved in doing it yourself!
Enjoy your special time with friends and family. Relish in their envy at your awesome new window coverings, WOW them with your smart home automation (for those of you who chose to motorise your curtains and blinds – nice one!), try to get the house guests to leave, or even out of the spare room (they won’t want to with those stunning sheer curtain, roller blinds or shutters!!) and most of all, take the time to congratulate yourself on a great DIY job! Oh and if you have time, take some photos of you fab new window coverings and enter our Annual photo competition – Launching in mid Dec!
Remember those guys in the Colourbond ads standing outside their houses admiring the roof? Well that will be you (and your guests) transfixed at your beautiful window coverings! Nudge them to get a move on to the Christmas table 🙂
From our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year – (Can’t believe I just wrote that already!!)

As we come into the warmer months, Sunscreen Blinds and Sheer Curtains offer more than just aesthetic appeal. In addition to room transforming powers, these window coverings also play an important role in protecting our floor and furnishings from harmful UV rays, whilst enhancing our inhome comfort in reducing glare, yet still allowing natural light to filter through.
Using sunscreen blinds and sheer curtains in your home can offer several benefits. Here are some of the advantages below:
Sunscreen blinds and sheer curtains are designed to block a significant amount of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from entering your home. UV rays can cause damage to your furniture, flooring, and upholstery over time by fading and deteriorating materials. By using these window treatments, you can diffuse sunlight, reducing the intensity of light and helping to prevent the fading of colors on your furniture, rugs, and curtains. Ensuring the longevity of your favorite pieces.
More prevalent today than ever before, as work from home becomes more of the norm, sunlight streaming through windows can create annoying glare on screens, mirrors, and other reflective surfaces, making it difficult to see and work comfortably. Sunscreen blinds and sheer curtains can help diffuse and reduce this glare, providing a more comfortable environment indoors. Softening the light, you may even notice your natural glow is enhanced when conducting your video calls!
Overall, sunscreen blinds and sheer curtains can contribute to a more comfortable living environment by controlling the amount of sunlight and heat that enters your home. This can create a more enjoyable atmosphere for daily living.
Sunscreen blinds can help regulate the temperature in your home by blocking out some of the sun’s heat. The lighter the fabric colour, the better the blinds ability to reflect the heat. By reducing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, sunscreen blinds can improve the energy efficiency of your home. This can be especially beneficial during hot summer months, as it can reduce the need for excessive air conditioning, thus saving energy and lowering your energy bills. Yes please to that!
Sheer curtains offer a level of privacy during the day while still allowing natural light to filter through. Sunscreen blinds provide privacy while maintaining a view of the outdoors. This combination of privacy and natural light control is desirable for many homeowners. Just remember that the reverse is true as night falls and the light fades outside.
Sunscreen blinds and sheer curtains come in a wide variety of styles, colors, and textures. They can add a decorative element to your home’s interior, enhancing its overall aesthetic and complementing your decor. Sunscreen roller blinds are streamlined and subtle, whereas sheer curtains can add a touch of luxury, and if hung from the ceiling, even elevate the height of your rooms! View our wide range of roller and curtain fabric ranges and order your free samples to see exactly what they will look like in your home. We also have a number of easy combinations for you to choose from, reducing your decision making complexity!
When you purchase a product from iseekblinds, you can rest assured that our fabrics are 100% safe for your families and the environment. All of our fabrics are free from heavy-metals, phthalates, VOCs and formaldehyde. This means that our Roller Blinds will not ‘gas’ off when they come into contact with direct sunlight, nor emit harmful gases into your home that can cause skin irritations or asthma. Be very particular when researching for your window coverings and make sure you ask if the fabrics used are GreenGuard accredited. Your family will thank you!
Motorisation of your blinds and curtains is so simple and affordable these days! When you automate your window furnishings you can contribute to reducing your energy bills. Set timers to close or open your curtains or blinds depending upon the hours of sunlight. Already have perfectly fine and usable chain driven blinds? Did you know you can easily retrofit your existing blinds with a motor? Find out more here
Direct sunlight can cause irreversible damage to your furniture, artwork, and other valuable possessions. Sunscreen blinds and sheer curtains help protect these items by reducing the amount of UV exposure they receive.
To maximize these benefits, it’s essential to choose the right type and style of sunscreen blinds and sheer curtains for your specific needs and preferences. Additionally, proper installation and maintenance are crucial to ensure their long-term effectiveness in protecting your home from the sun.

If you are someone who struggles with getting enough shuteye of an evening you might need to consider if there is something in your bedroom preventing you from having a restful night.
So much of our sleep is determined by the conditions we create within our bedrooms, and the routine we engage in before we go to sleep. In this short article we are going to go through some of the environmental factors that can give you a better night’s sleep. We are also going to explore some actions you can build into your evening routine to ensure that by the time your head hits the pillow you are primed and ready for a full eight hours of rest!
Looking for a high-quality set of blackout curtains to block the sun of a morning? iSeekBlinds have a great range of blackout curtains in various colours and fabrics to ensure that your bedroom is a plush and comfortable retreat.
The first thing you want to do in ensuring that your bedroom is set for the evening is to make sure that you are blocking out the light. You want to keep your bedroom as dark as possible so that you can rest and relax. If you have a streetlight that shines into your room, invest in some blackout blinds or curtains to keep the light out. Or, if you have a bedroom that cops the full heat of the sunlight in the morning, use blackout blinds to keep the sun away.
Why not also consider investing in some essential oils and a diffuser, and load it up with your favourite nighttime blend? A soothing mix of lavender and some natural Australian scents is always a winner for nighttime.
Consider investing in motorised blinds or curtains to make waking up in the morning a lot easier. If you have a habit of snoozing in the morning you will find it a whole lot harder to stay sleeping if the sunlight is pouring into your room. You can even set your motorised blinds to open at a set time with home automation – and that is one way to wake up on time!
Full disclosure – if the reason you are not getting enough sleep is that your significant other snores loud enough to wake the neighbours, then there is not a lot a set of blackout curtains will do to silence them. However, it can’t hurt!
Ultimately, anything to keep the light out of your bedroom is going to help you sleep better. Studies have shown that we operate with a circadian rhythm, that is, we rest with the sunset and wake with the sunrise. Only in today’s world, we are going to bed long after sunset and waking up generally after sunrise. So if you can keep the light out of your bedroom, you are effectively tricking your brain into thinking it’s still dark, and thus enjoying better sleep!
For more tips and tricks on getting the most out of your blackout curtains, get in touch with us. Our friendly customer service team are happy to help.
A key part of getting enough sleep is your routine prior to bedtime. So in addition to ensuring that your room is dark enough thanks to your blackout curtains or blinds, we recommend following a few key tips:
