What a curtains costs in Hobart
Hobart's cold climate makes curtains a serious comfort buy. Full-length, thermal-lined drapes are one of the best ways to cut the draught and heat loss of the city's older homes, so they are valued above all for retaining warmth through the long cold winters, and the lining choice is the main decision. The smaller trade market has limited competition, keeping make-and-install rates firm, with fewer workrooms to shop between.
The colonial and early-twentieth-century housing is the fabric-quantity factor. Tall heritage windows and high ceilings mean floor-to-ceiling drapes use a lot of fabric per drop, which lifts a job, and the soft, full look suits a period room. Bass Strait freight adds cost and lead time to fabrics shipped from the mainland, so ordering ahead matters, and a thermal lining earns its keep in a climate where condensation and cold at the window are constant winter companions.
