Are Blinds Expensive?

01 Jul Are Blinds Expensive?

If you’ve ever shopped around for blinds, you’ve probably noticed the price range is huge. So it’s totally fair to ask: are blinds expensive? The truth is, they can be—but they don’t have to be.

Let’s break it down.

💷 The Short Answer

Blinds come in all shapes, sizes, and styles—which means there’s something for every budget. From affordable off-the-shelf options to premium bespoke designs, your final price depends on a few key things:

🏠 1. Size of Your Windows
Larger windows, bi-fold doors, or unusually shaped windows will naturally cost more to cover than a small bathroom window. It’s all about material, labour, and how much blind you need.

🧵 2. Type of Blind

Here’s a rough price feel from most affordable to more premium:

Roller Blinds – Simple, stylish, and very budget-friendly.

Vertical Blinds – Affordable and great for large windows or sliding doors.

Venetian Blinds – A bit more, especially in wood or faux wood.

Day & Night – Mid to high-range depending on fabric and finish.

Shutters & Motorised Blinds – These are typically the most expensive, but they’re also high-impact, long-lasting, and packed with convenience.

✂️ 3. Made-to-Measure vs. Ready-Made

Ready-made blinds are cheaper and fine for standard window sizes, but made-to-measure gives you a perfect fit, better function, and often a more polished look.

💡 4. Features & Materials

Want blackout lining? Thermal efficiency? Motorisation or smart home integration? All of these add to the price—but they also add value in terms of comfort, energy savings, and ease of use.

So… Are They Worth It?

Blinds are one of those home investments that pay you back over time. They control heat and light, protect your furniture from sun damage, give you privacy, and help with sleep—all while pulling the room together visually.

And with such a wide range of options, you really can find something that fits your budget without compromising on style.
