How much do curtains and blinds cost?
Although the cost of curtains and blinds can vary based on several factors, here is an estimate to give you an idea of what to expect.
The cost of curtains and blinds can vary a huge amount depending on several factors, including the fabrics you choose, the size and number of windows in your home and your preferred heading style.
But before we get into the cost of new curtains and blinds, it’s worth considering the savings they provide.
There are three main ways the right curtains and blinds can help save you money in the long run.
Your home can lose up to 30% of its heat through the windows, so having thick curtains or an added thermal liner can impact your electric bill through the winter. And insulation works both ways as well, meaning it will also keep the cool air in in the summer, for a more comfortable home all year round.
UV rays from direct sunlight can fade furniture and damage décor. Curtains and blinds can provide a barrier to protect your belongings from sun damage, keeping them in good shape for longer.
Although this may not directly impact your wallet, it will impact your life. Having blockout blinds or curtains in the bedroom is proven to help you sleep more soundly and is especially important for children who can be more easily disturbed by outside lights during the night.
