Whether you’re furnishing a new BTO, upgrading a condo, or refreshing a landed home, internal blinds are one of the most practical ways to control light and privacy without compromising on style.
As you start browsing your options, it’s worth understanding how the costs of indoor blinds in Singapore will vary depending on the type of mechanism, material quality, and window coverage.
This guide provides a breakdown of the cost of internal blinds in Singapore across the most popular blinds.
Average Cost of Indoor Blinds in Singapore
Indoor blind costs start at $240 for a small window of ~20 square feet. The cost of indoor blinds will be determined by the width of the coverage area and the type of indoor blind.
Costs are inherently determined by the type of blind. Here’s an overview of the most common indoor blinds:
- Standard roller blinds are typically made from waterproof polyester and PVC, and can vary in purpose and shade material. Blackout fabrics offer 100% opacity and are ideal for private spaces like bedrooms. Sunscreen fabrics allow natural light to filter through.
- Korean combi blinds, also known as dual shade blinds, have two layers – a sheer layer and a dim-out layer housed within a single panel. The layers can be adjusted to provide full or partial blocking of light.
- Venetian blinds feature individual slats (typically made from wood) that are connected via cords or fabric tapes that control the tilt angle of the slats to control light and privacy.
- Roman blinds use slats within a length of fabric that pleats neatly when raised. When extended, Roman blinds have a similar appearance to roller blinds.
Indoor Blind Type Manual Operation Motorised Operation Roller $180 – $450 $690 – $1,300 Korean Combi (Dual Shade) $240 – $500 $690 – $1,300 Venetian $240 – $500 $840 – $1,400 Roman $240 – $500 $700 – $1,200
The above costs are estimates based on typical window sizes found in most HBD flats. Larger or wider window spaces, such as those in commercial buildings, may require dual blinds or multiple panels to provide continuous coverage.
Other Factors Affecting The Cost of Indoor Blinds
Manual vs Motorised Options
Manual blinds use a pulley, chain, or cord system and sit at the lower end of the price range. Motorised blinds add a motor unit and control system – remote, app, or voice – that automatically raise or lower with near-silent operation, and can integrate with a smart home network. Motorised blinds remove loose hanging cords, ideal for homes with young children or pets.
Motorised blinds cost more than manual blinds. Costs can also naturally increase if you need to install hardwire or integrate with a smart home integration.
Fabric and Material
Fabric and material will affect the cost of the blind – basic sunscreen or dim-out fabric tend to cost less, while blackout and custom-printed fabric are priced at a premium. High-quality suppliers like Craft Axis provide access to fabric and designs from international brands, with textiles that are more resistant to heat, humidity, and UV exposure.
Colour and Finish
Standard, low-cost blinds will generally come in black, white, and neutrals. Textured finishes, colour-matching to an interior palette, or custom printing (including business logos on blackout or perforated fabric) will come at an additional cost.
For Venetian blinds, real timber finishes will cost more than synthetic Allswood slats, even within the same colour range.
Installation
The cost of installation for indoor blinds is often bundled into the total price. Costs can increase with complexity of instaFloor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, recessed frames, or limited mounting space will require more labour and specialised mounting hardware, which increases blind installation costs.
