Wooden Blinds Price per Sq Ft: What You're Paying For

Wooden blinds sit at the upper end of our ₹130 to ₹350 per sq ft range, including installation. Real wood is usually the most expensive option; faux wood is typically a little lower while giving a very similar look. Slat width, decorative tapes, finishes and motorisation also affect the price.

Why wooden blinds cost more

• The material: real wood slats cost more than fabric, PVC or aluminium.
• Finishing: each slat is cut, sanded, stained or painted and sealed.
• Precision: slats must be uniform so the blind closes evenly and tilts smoothly.
• Hardware: a sturdier headrail and lift mechanism carry the extra weight.
• Options: decorative tapes, matching valances and wand controls add to the cost.

Real wood vs faux wood pricing

Both sit in the upper part of the range. Faux wood (PVC or composite) is usually somewhat cheaper than real wood and is the better choice in kitchens, bathrooms and humid rooms. Real wood is lighter, has natural grain and feels more premium in living rooms, studies and bedrooms. Our wooden blinds guide compares them in detail.

Other factors that change the price

• Slat width: wider slats suit large windows; the choice affects the material used.
• Decorative tapes: cloth tapes in place of ladder strings look tailored and cost more.
• Valance or pelmet: a matching wooden pelmet hides the headrail.
• Size: very wide windows are usually split into two or three blinds to keep the weight manageable.
• Controls: cordless and wand-operated systems cost more than standard cords; motors are quoted separately.

Worked examples

Across the full ₹130 to ₹350 per sq ft range, installation included — with wood landing near the top of each band:

• Study window, 4 × 4 ft (16 sq ft): ₹2,080 to ₹5,600. At the top of the range (₹350 per sq ft), that's ₹5,600.
• Living room window, 5 × 6 ft (30 sq ft): ₹3,900 to ₹10,500.
• Two bedroom windows, 20 sq ft each (40 sq ft): ₹5,200 to ₹14,000.

Are wooden blinds worth it?

In rooms where guests see them and where you'll enjoy them every day — the living room, a study, the master bedroom — wooden blinds add a sense of quality that lasts for years. In utility areas and bathrooms, faux wood or aluminium gives better value.

Smart ways to save

1. Use real wood only in show rooms, and faux wood in kitchens and bathrooms.
2. Pair a roller blind with curtains in bedrooms instead of wood, if darkness matters more than looks.
3. Skip decorative tapes on windows where the blind is mostly kept open.
4. Split large windows sensibly rather than ordering one oversized, heavy blind.
