What Moves the Price?
Window size is the biggest factor — wider and taller windows cost proportionally more. Fabric choice also matters significantly — entry-level sunscreen and blockout fabrics are the most affordable, while premium decorator fabrics and specialty textiles cost more per metre.
Motorisation adds to the base blind cost but is increasingly popular in Melbourne new builds and renovations for convenience, child safety, and smart home integration. At Skyline Shades, motorisation starts from just $100 per motor.
Custom made vs stock sizes — custom made blinds are cut to your exact window measurements and last 10–15 years. Off-the-shelf blinds from hardware stores are cheaper upfront but rarely fit Australian window dimensions well, leaving light gaps and typically lasting only 2–5 years before needing replacement.
Full-Home Estimates
For a standard 4 bedroom Melbourne home, roller blinds and sheers throughout start from $3,200 at Skyline Shades. Larger homes, premium fabric selections, or plantation shutter installations will vary — a free in-home measure and quote gives you the most accurate figure for your specific property.
Why Custom Made Is Worth It
Quality custom blinds installed by a professional typically last 10–15 years. When you spread the cost across the lifespan of the blind, custom made is almost always more cost-effective than replacing cheaper off-the-shelf alternatives every few years.
Key advantages of custom made blinds:
- Perfect fit — no gaps, no awkward overlaps
- Commercial-grade fabrics and mechanisms
- Professional installation included
- Local support for repairs and replacements throughout Melbourne
