Living room with sheer curtains and dark drapery across a wall of windows, by Eastworld Home

In this guide

Condo units in the Philippines share a few challenges: large windows or glass sliding doors, strong afternoon sun in west-facing units, neighbours across the way, and limited space beside the window. The right mix of curtains and blinds solves all of them and makes a unit feel finished.

Curtains or blinds for a condo?

Both work, and many units use both. Blinds are compact and neat, which suits small rooms, kitchens and windows above a sofa or desk. Curtains add softness, make ceilings look higher and cover wide sliding doors well. A common choice is curtains in the living room and bedroom, with blinds in the kitchen and study.

Bedrooms: block the light and the heat

For bedrooms, choose blackout curtains or a blackout roller or Roman blind. In west-facing units, a lined or blackout curtain also reduces the afternoon heat coming through the glass. For the most flexible setup, hang a sheer and a blackout curtain on a double track: sheer for daytime privacy, blackout for sleep.

Living rooms: light and privacy

Living rooms need daylight and privacy at the same time. Sheer curtains soften the sun and stop neighbours seeing in during the day; add dimout or blackout drapery in front for evenings and movie nights. Shangri-La blinds are a neat alternative, with soft vanes you can tilt to filter light.

Balconies and sliding glass doors

Wide sliding doors need window treatments that move out of the way. Curtains on a track that stacks to one side keep the doorway clear, and vertical blinds draw neatly to one side while their slats tilt to control light. Extend the track beyond the frame so curtains or blinds stack clear of the glass.

Kitchens, studies and small rooms

Roller blinds sit flat against the window and roll up out of the way, so they suit kitchens, studies and small bedrooms. Ask for an easy-care fabric for kitchens.

Keep condo curtains consistent across the unit

From outside, condo windows are part of the building’s façade. Using the same colour or fabric family across every window looks calmer inside and tidier from the street. Neutral whites, greys and warm beiges are the most popular choices because they suit most interiors. Some buildings also have guidelines on how windows look from outside, so check with your building administration before choosing bold colours.

How to measure a condo window

Decide where the track or blind will go. Mounting curtains close to the ceiling makes rooms feel taller.
Measure the width, adding extra on each side so curtains stack clear of the glass.
Measure the drop at the left, centre and right and use the shortest figure, so the hem does not drag.
For blinds, decide on an inside or outside mount and check the recess depth.
Take photos of each window and send them with your measurements.

Curtains for rental and short-stay units

For condos that are rented out, durability and easy care matter most. Blackout curtains or blinds in the bedroom help guests sleep, sheers keep the living room bright, and neutral colours suit most guests. Using the same fabrics across the unit also makes replacements simple.
