The cost of window blinds fundamentally depends on the size and number of windows, as well as the components that make up the blinds. The size and number of windows are quite straightforward, so let's move on to the key factors that determine the price of blinds.
There are three main factors that affect the cost of blinds:
What material is used for the blinds?
If you want to find the cheapest blinds in the world, look for those made from low-quality materials that can burn, melt, or easily get stained. Many people think the price varies significantly based on the type of blinds—like Zebra or Solar blinds—and while that’s true, the quality of the fabric plays a much larger role in determining the price.
At My Home Blinds, we offer the highest quality and most detail-oriented custom window coverings. Our materials are designed to resist fading in the sunlight, melting under heat, and becoming easily soiled—unlike other companies' products. For reference, the starting prices at My Home Blinds for the minimum size (100 cm by 200 cm / 40” by 80”) are approximately $180(+tax) for Zebra blinds, $180(+tax) for Roller Shades, and $240(+tax) for Silhouette Shades.

Additionally, the price may vary based on whether the fabric is sheer or designed for room darkening. It’s best to consult with a professional based on how you plan to use the space where the blinds will be installed.
Will you install the blinds yourself or hire a professional?
You might think that installing the blinds yourself will save you money compared to hiring a professional.

If you have professional measuring tools, a good understanding of the materials, the necessary installation equipment, and experience fixing damaged blinds, then doing it yourself might be a good option. However, My Home Blinds offers free installation services, allowing you to sit back and enjoy your new window treatments without the hassle.
The type of controller is a crucial factor
The basic option is a chain guard, but depending on the product, you might also find manual pull-down options or automated systems. While the chain guard will be the cheapest option, remember that your time, effort, and family safety are invaluable.
