About Us.

Judy Keatch, creator of Elegant Concepts, has been in the window furnishing business for over 15 years. Starting out as a sewer, she soon progressed to Sales Manager and discovered she had a natural talent at finding window-furnishing solutions for all types of needs. It was a natural progression for Judy to open her own business. In June 2006, Judy and husband Brian launched Elegant Concepts and continue to dress homes in the Bendigo area and surrounding districts. 

Judy and Brian’s motto is “Quality window furnishings at a realistic price” and they demonstrate their commitment to this everyday.  They will not compromise on quality, and they will give a written guarantee on their work.

Judy has worked on thousands of domestic and commercial projects and has a vast wealth of industry knowledge to draw from. Brian has had a substantial background in renovation and building and has come on board as the installer.

Judy says “Decorating is easy; once we establish your taste, the style of your home and the space that needs to be addressed, the correct fabric/blind will reveal itself.  I believe in being straight forward and honest, if there is a negative aspect about anything you look at, whether it is a blind that will not suit your needs or a fabric that definitely won’t look good in a certain spot, I would prefer to be truthful, but I’m also quick to point out the good things.  It all helps to make a good job a great job.”

The show room at 36 King Street, Bendigo (directly across the road from Target) displays some traditional drapes and blinds as well as some new and contemporary designs. You are only limited by your imagination with every type of window furnishing possible available from Elegant Concepts. They are stockists for Designed Blinds Australia, Contract Blinds, Helioscreen, Commercial Venetians & Unique Screens, and Just Blinds & Shutters and offer all types of blinds from the humble holland blind to motorized models with remote controls.
