Elegant S Fold Curtains Gold Coast
Simple yet elegant, S Fold Curtains, or S Wave Curtains, is a particular style of curtain that looks like a wave or a long ‘S’ pattern and follows the entire length of the window it’s covering. At Gold Coast Blinds and Shutters, we specialise in custom-made S wave curtains for Gold Coast homes.
From sheer to blockout and more, we are proud to provide a wide range of fabrics to match your personal taste and the interiors of your home. Not sure what fabric is best for you? Let our sales team help you find the right colour and material to suit your style and room.
Benefits of S fold curtains
Wave curtains are gaining popularity around Gold Coast homes due to their ability to suit both modern and traditional interiors. Their flowing wave effect adds softness to a room, with the fabric hanging beautifully.
If you have a tall window or minimal room between your window and the ceiling, an S wave curtain is ideal due to its thin curtain rod.
Lastly, those who wish to create the illusion of size in their homes will enjoy an S wave curtain. Usually fitted as high as possible (for example, from ceiling to floor, or just under the cornice) helps to make the room feel larger.

S fold vs pleated curtains — what’s the difference?
Choosing between S fold curtains and pleated curtains comes down to your style preferences and practical needs. Both are timeless options, but here’s how they differ to help you decide:
- Style and aesthetic
S fold curtains feature a soft, flowing wave design, perfect for creating a relaxed and elegant atmosphere. In contrast, pleated curtains, with their crisp folds and structured look, are ideal for creating a more formal aesthetic.
- Fabric versatility
S fold curtains can accommodate both lighter and heavier fabric weights, maintaining their beautiful wave-like drape regardless of material. Some heavy fabrics, however, can be too thick for pleated designs.
- View and stacking
Because of their construction, S fold curtains have less bulk and minimal ‘stacking’ when opened compared to pleated curtains. This gives you a clearer and more expansive view when the curtains are drawn to the side.
Both options bring their own charm, but if you’re looking for curtains that combine contemporary style with a touch of softness, Gold Coast S fold curtains are a wonderful choice.

‘S fold’ refers to the shape of the fabric when hung, resembling a smooth, repeating ‘S’ wave. This design is achieved using a specific curtain tape and track system.
