How Much Do Custom Curtains Cost in Bangalore?

The cost of custom curtains in Bangalore depends on the fabric you choose, how much fabric the window needs, the lining, stitching style, hardware and installation. A fabric price per metre is only one part of the finished bill. To compare quotes fairly, ask for the total installed cost for the same window measurements and specifications.

If you are furnishing a flat in Whitefield, Brookefield or elsewhere in Bengaluru, start with a room-by-room plan: where do you need privacy, where do you want soft daylight, and which windows need stronger light control? Those decisions help you spend on features you will actually use.

This guide explains how to build a curtain budget and what to check in a quotation. It is not a fixed price list: your final amount needs confirmed measurements, fabric selection and installation details.

What goes into the cost of custom curtains?

Total curtain cost = main fabric + lining or additional sheer layer + stitching and accessories + rods or tracks + installation + any applicable delivery and taxes.

Ask the supplier to separate these items. A low fabric rate can still result in a higher total if the design needs more material or if hardware and fitting are excluded.

1. Fabric choice and fabric width

Plain, printed and textured fabrics can have different prices. Fibre composition, weave, finish and the chosen collection also affect the rate. Compare the actual fabric reference or sample, not just descriptions such as “premium”.

Check the fabric width as well as the price per running metre. Two fabrics at the same metre rate may require different quantities for your window. Patterned fabrics may need extra material to align the design across adjacent panels.

Browse our custom curtain collection to start with the look you prefer, then request a quotation for your measurements.

2. Window size, curtain drop and fullness

The opening width alone does not tell you how much fabric to buy. Curtains need extra width to form folds when closed; this is called fullness. A higher fullness uses more fabric and creates a fuller appearance.

For example, a 2.4-metre track at an illustrative 2-times fullness needs approximately 4.8 metres of flat curtain width before allowances. That does not mean you should order 4.8 running metres of fabric. The required purchase length also depends on fabric width, curtain height, the number of drops, hems and pattern repeats. Your curtain maker should calculate the cutting quantity.

Floor-length balcony curtains and shorter window curtains can therefore have quite different totals, even when their openings are equally wide.

3. Lining, blackout fabric and sheer layers

A single decorative curtain, a lined curtain, and a sheer-plus-main-curtain arrangement are different specifications. A separate sheer layer means additional fabric and stitching, and usually another track or rod channel.

For bedrooms, discuss the level of darkness you need. Ask whether the quote uses blackout fabric, separate blackout lining or a different light-filtering construction. Light can still enter around the edges, so the track position and coverage matter alongside the fabric.

For living rooms, sheers can soften daylight, but check privacy with the room lights on after dark. Our living-room curtain guide explains how to balance light, colour and layering.

4. Stitching style and accessories

Eyelet, pleated and wave-style headings create different folds and may need different accessories or compatible tracks. Ask how stitching is charged: per panel, per metre or as a project total.

Check whether the amount includes heading tape, hooks, eyelets, weights and tiebacks where required. Confirm the finished panel count and opening direction before stitching begins.

5. Rods, tracks and motorisation

Hardware should suit the curtain weight, opening width and mounting surface. A simple straight track, a double-track arrangement and a shaped or motorised track are not equivalent purchases.

If you are considering motorised curtains, request a separate breakdown for the track, motor, controls, fitting and any electrical work. Confirm power requirements and compatibility with your preferred controls before ordering. Do not assume a standard manual-curtain quote includes these items.

6. Installation and site conditions

Ask whether measurement, fitting, delivery and taxes are included. High ceilings, restricted access, unusual mounting surfaces or an existing curtain pocket can affect the work involved.

Share photographs of the full window area, ceiling and any existing hardware. For a new home, confirm the final floor level and ceiling details before approving finished curtain lengths.

How to compare curtain quotations fairly

Use the same specification when asking for estimates. Otherwise, one quote may include lining and double tracks while another covers only unlined fabric panels.

• Measurements: track width, finished drop and number of windows or balcony openings.
• Fabric: collection reference, width, price per metre and total cutting quantity.
• Construction: fullness, heading style, panel count and lining details.
• Hardware: track or rod specification, channels, brackets and accessories.
• Services: measurement, stitching, installation, delivery and taxes, each marked included or extra.
• Order terms: estimated completion date, payment stages, care instructions and the process for reporting fitting issues.

A useful comparison is the complete installed price for each opening, followed by the total for your home. This makes it easier to see where a specification change would affect your budget.

How to manage your curtain budget

Plan by room. Prioritise the bedroom’s privacy and light-control needs, then decide whether each living-room window needs one layer or two. You do not have to use an identical construction everywhere.

Compare fabrics at the same specification. Ask for two or three fabric options with the same measurements, fullness, lining and hardware. This shows the actual saving from changing fabric.

Check existing hardware before replacing it. It may be reusable if its condition, size and load capacity suit the new curtains. Have it assessed before relying on it.

Confirm measurements before cutting. An avoidable remake can cost more than the difference between two fabric options. Use your own measurements for an initial discussion, then agree on the final dimensions before production.

Frequently asked questions

Are custom curtains priced per metre or per window?

Fabric is often quoted per running metre, while stitching, hardware and installation may use other units. Ask for an itemised quote plus the complete total per window so you can compare like for like.

Can I get an estimate before a home visit?

Share approximate widths and heights, photographs, the number of openings and your preferred curtain type with Griham Decor. These details provide a starting point for discussing options; final pricing depends on confirmed specifications and measurements.

Does a blackout curtain always need a separate lining?

No. The construction depends on the selected fabric. Some products provide light control through the main fabric, while others use a separate lining. Ask exactly what is included and how the finished arrangement will manage light around the edges.

What should I bring when choosing curtain fabrics?

Bring window photographs, approximate measurements and pictures or samples of your wall colour and sofa upholstery. Tell us whether the room is a bedroom, living room or workspace, and what matters most: privacy, daylight, easy care or a fuller decorative finish.
