Looking for custom curtains Dubai suppliers can actually deliver on? Ready-made curtains rarely work here — Dubai homes range from compact Marina apartments to sprawling Emirates Hills villas, and standard sizes don’t fit floor-to-ceiling glass, bay windows, or the odd layouts common in older Deira and Jumeirah buildings. Ordering custom solves that, and gets you a curtain built for the region’s heat and dust rather than a generic import.
This guide covers what’s on offer, what affects pricing and turnaround, and how to get a quote from Sunsoft Furnishing without the guesswork.
Why Order Custom Curtains in Dubai Instead of Ready-Made
Custom curtains Dubai homeowners choose are measured for the exact window, not an average size, so you’re not stuck trimming, hemming, or living with a gap. That alone justifies the cost difference for most people once they’ve dealt with one ill-fitting ready-made set.
Beyond fit, you’re choosing fabric that actually performs here — blocking UV and heat rather than just looking the part — which protects flooring and furniture from fading and keeps rooms cooler through summer. You also get to pick lining, pleat style and hardware to match the rest of the interior, instead of settling because your size or colour wasn’t in stock.
If you want a fully automated setup, ask about motorised curtain systems when you get your quote — most suppliers, including Sunsoft, can price this alongside standard curtains in the same visit.
Curtain Options and What They Typically Cost to Get Right
Blackout Curtains
Blackout curtains are the most requested option for bedrooms — useful for shift workers or anyone wanting to sleep past sunrise in summer, and they help cut cooling costs too. Pricing depends on fabric grade and lining, so it’s worth asking for options across a couple of price points.
Sheer Curtains
Sheer curtains suit living rooms and majlis areas where you want light without losing privacy. Many customers order these alongside heavier drapes as a layered set — ask your supplier whether bundling both saves on the overall quote.
Motorised Curtains
Motorised curtains are increasingly requested in Dubai Hills, Downtown and other newer developments with smart home setups already in place. These cost more than manual curtains due to the track and motor, so get a clear breakdown of hardware vs fabric cost before committing.
Thermal and UV-Resistant Curtains
Thermal-lined curtains cost a bit more upfront but cut heat transfer noticeably in west- and south-facing rooms — worth factoring into your decision if those rooms run hot regardless of the AC.
Decorative and Layered Curtains
Pelmets, layered sheers and drapes, and tailored pleat styles like pinch pleat or wave fold cost more than a basic single-layer curtain but change the whole feel of a room. If budget’s a factor, ask which single upgrade (usually the pleat style) gives the biggest visual difference for the smallest cost increase.
What Affects Your Quote for Custom Curtains
- Fabric choice. Heavier, tightly woven fabric costs more but performs better against heat and glare — worth the difference in most Dubai rooms.
- Room and window size. Floor-to-ceiling glass and bay windows need more fabric and more precise measuring, which factors into the final price.
- Lining and hardware. Blackout lining, thermal lining, motorised tracks and pelmet boxes are usually quoted separately from the fabric itself, so ask for an itemised breakdown rather than one lump figure.
- Maintenance needs. Some fabrics handle Dubai’s dust better and need cleaning less often — ask about this upfront if long-term upkeep matters to your decision.
- Turnaround depends on fabric availability and whether motorisation or custom hardware is involved. Ask for a realistic delivery window before you confirm the order, not after.
- Furnishing a whole property rather than one room? Ask about curtains and blinds packages — bundling usually works out better value than ordering room by room.
How to Order Custom Curtains Through Sunsoft Furnishing
Getting a quote from Sunsoft Furnishing is straightforward: get in touch, share your rough requirements (room type, style preference, any motorisation interest), and arrange a site visit for accurate measurements.
From there you’ll get a clear price broken down by fabric, lining and hardware, with a realistic timeline before you commit to anything.
The same visit is a good time to ask about roller blinds or sheer blinds if you’re weighing curtains against blinds for a particular room, or villa interior furnishing services if curtains are part of a larger renovation or new-build fit-out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do custom curtains cost in Dubai?
It depends on fabric, size, lining and hardware, so there’s no single number. Ask for an itemised quote based on your actual windows so you can compare options properly.
How long does it take to get custom curtains made and fitted?
This depends on fabric stock and whether motorisation or special hardware is involved. Ask your supplier for a firm timeline at quote stage, not after you’ve paid.
Is it worth paying more for blackout curtains?
For most bedrooms in Dubai, yes — the sun and long summer daylight hours make the extra cost worthwhile for sleep quality and lower cooling costs.
Can I get a quote before deciding on fabric?
Yes — most suppliers, including Sunsoft, can walk you through fabric options and rough pricing at the first consultation, before you commit to specifics.
Do motorised curtains cost significantly more than manual ones?
They do cost more due to the track and motor, but many customers find the convenience worth it, especially for large or hard-to-reach windows. Ask for manual and motorised pricing side by side so you can compare directly.
What should I ask for in a curtain quote?
Request an itemised breakdown — fabric, lining, hardware and installation listed separately — plus a firm delivery timeline. This makes it much easier to compare quotes from different suppliers.
