How Much Do Custom Blinds Cost in Brisbane? A Realistic Guide
Pricing for custom blinds varies a lot, and most quotes you find online are too vague to be useful. The cost depends on the type of blind, the window size, the fabric or material, and whether you want motorisation. Here is a more realistic breakdown based on what we see across Brisbane.
Roller blinds are the most affordable custom blind. For a standard bedroom window, you are looking at roughly $150 to $350 per window installed, depending on the fabric. Blockout fabrics cost a little more than sunscreen. Custom colours or designer fabrics push the price up. Budget roller blinds from chain stores start lower, but they use thinner components and the fabric quality shows within a couple of years.
Double roller blinds run about 1.5 to 2 times the cost of a single roller, because you are getting two fabrics and a double bracket or headbox. For a standard window, expect $300 to $550 installed.
Venetian blinds depend on the material. Aluminium venetians are the cheapest, sitting around $150 to $300 per window. Timber look PVC venetians cost more, and real timber venetians are the most expensive, running $350 to $600 per window.
Plantation shutters are the premium option. PVC shutters start around $400 to $600 per window. Timber shutters run $600 to $900. These prices are per panel, so a wide window with multiple panels costs more. Shutters are a bigger upfront spend, but they last ten plus years and add resale value.
What affects the final price:
Window size is the biggest factor. A small bathroom window costs a fraction of a large sliding door opening. Motorisation adds $150 to $400 per window depending on the motor type. Unusual window shapes like arches, angles, or skylights need custom engineering and cost more. Installation is included in our quotes. We do not charge separately for fitting.
The most common mistake people make is comparing our quotes to hardware store prices. We are comparing custom made, professionally installed products against off the shelf items that you fit yourself. The materials, the fit, the longevity, and the warranty are different.
