Lovelight Projects Designing and efficiently delivering beautifully furnished spaces.
At Lovelight, our business is about sourcing worldwide the latest designs for window furnishings and listening to the needs of our customers.
For too long the Australian blind market has been saturated with a limited and over-priced product offering. By taking an innovative approach to every aspect of our supply chain we have been able to redefine what is possible in window furnishings, opening up a product range that had previously only been available to a select few, and offering it to the broader Australian domestic market at very competitive prices. With a showcase of leading products that spans roller, Roman and Venetian blinds, shutters and awnings in every imaginable finish and colour we have a solution to fit any window. Our rigorous testing ensures we only stock products that are durable, easy to install and use and suited to the harsh Australian environment.

Solutions for Developers
Engagement Models We have a number of different window furnishing programs for development projects. Depending on your project objectives, we ensure you have the best program for your desired outcomes. We are often selected as the preferred supplier of window furnishings by architects, developers and builders given our track record of performance and product capabilities. We can assist in creating the right product solutions for your project including common areas and then ensure it is specified right through the job into delivery.
