Brightshine Drapery is the newest of the three Brightshine ranges at Residium, alongside Brightshine Shutters and Brightshine Blinds. After more than 60 years making blinds and shutters for New Zealand homes, Brightshine now delivers curtains and Roman blinds, at wholesale drapery prices – direct from the manufacturer.

The range covers:

• Curtains – the perfect way to soften a room available in a wide selection of fabrics and pleat options.
• Sheers – soften light and keep daytime privacy.
• Blockout curtains  – suit bedrooms and media rooms.
• Roman blinds  – sit between the two, giving a fabric look with the neatness of a blind, and they are a good answer for a bedroom or any window where full curtains would be too much.

Whichever way you’re leaning, everything is made to measure.

In Showroom 160 | Section B at Residium, the drapery display is a working fabric library rather than a wall of photographs. Sample books from James Dunlop, Charles Parsons, Warwick, Zepel and Mokum are there for you to use – pull one out, feel the weight of it and hold two side by side. That is the only reliable way to judge drape, because two fabrics in the same colour can hang completely differently, and a sheer that looks delicate on a screen can read heavy once it is made up. A hardware board alongside carries rods, finials and brackets, with metal finish samples to compare.

Because drapery is the newest part of the range, the fabric library at Residium is the best place to understand what’s possible. There is more for you to see and handle in Showroom 160 than there is to read anywhere else.

Three of the displays show curtains working with another Brightshine solution, which is how most good rooms are actually done. A sheer curtain with a blockout roller, where the roller darkens and the sheer softens, delivers a cost-effective combination. A fully lined curtain over a bi-passing shutter. And a fully lined curtain over a 100% timber shutter, used for  its superior thermal qualities – because two layers over a window hold heat in a way one layer can’t. If you’re weighing up whether to add curtains to a blind or shutter you already have, or trying to make a cold room warmer, those three are the ones to look at.
