Curtain Prices in Singapore: What to Budget by Fabric and Style (2026)

A single HDB bedroom window, fitted with a day curtain and a night curtain, costs between S$600 and S$1,300 in Singapore. Cover every window in a four-room flat to the same specification, and you are looking at somewhere between S$4,500 and S$8,500.

Those two figures answer most of what homeowners ask us before they have seen a single swatch, and the spread between them comes down to three decisions: fabric, heading style, and how much fullness you are willing to pay for.

Curtain Prices in Singapore at a Glance

Every curtain price in Singapore is built from the same four inputs: the fabric, the width of the window, the fullness ratio of the heading, and the track.

The table below covers the fabric families we specify most often. Read the per-panel column when you are pricing one window, and the room columns when you are budgeting a flat.

Imported fabrics from European and Japanese mills sit at the upper end of each band, while locally-sourced and regionally-woven fabrics sit at the lower end.

Curtain Price by Fabric

Sheer and Day Curtains

A day curtain price in Singapore starts around S$120 per panel and runs to S$260 for wider-width sheers. Our day curtain range, including Baobab, sits inside that band:

• Sheers filter glare without shutting the room down, which matters most on west-facing high-floor units, where the afternoon sun arrives at eye level.
• Very light sheers lift under air conditioning and never settle into a clean line, so we specify mid-weight across spans over three metres.

Dim-Out and Night Curtains

Dim-out fabric costs S$180 to S$380 per panel. It blocks most light without the rubberised backing that blackout requires, and it holds better in humidity. Cypress and Birch both sit here.

In a Singapore bedroom, dim-out is usually the honest answer: it takes a room dark enough to sleep without making it feel sealed, and it drapes with more movement than a coated fabric ever will. Dry cleaning is recommended annually. Lining adds roughly S$60 per panel.

Blackout Curtains

Blackout curtains in Singapore cost between S$220 and S$450 per panel, and the price you are quoted depends on whether the fabric is inherently opaque or coated to achieve it:

• Coated blackout is cheaper and stiffer.
• Triple-weave blackout costs more and behaves like ordinary fabric.

Neither works properly without a wraparound or ceiling-recessed track, since light entering at the edges undoes the fabric entirely. Blackout curtains are most often specified in bedrooms and nurseries.

Linen and Linen-Blend

Linen runs from S$320 to S$550 per panel, and linen blends from S$200 to S$400. Kenya Linen and the Schumacher-print Jakarta Linen sit in this band:

• Pure linen creases, softens and moves with humidity, which is the deciding factor for most households.
• A linen-polyester blend holds a cleaner line through the monsoon months and resists the slow stretch that pure linen shows on long drops.

Textured and Jacquard

Textured weaves and jacquards cost between S$300 and S$600 per panel. The price sits in the loom time. A jacquard carries its pattern in the weave rather than printed on the surface, allowing it to survive light and washing that would flatten a print within two years.

Performance and Fade-Resistant

Performance fabrics cost between S$260 and S$520 per panel, a premium of roughly S$80 over a comparable standard weave. They are worth specifying on any window with direct western or unshaded southern exposure, which in Singapore means most high-floor units without a balcony overhang:

• Standard polyester fades visibly across three to five years on that exposure.
• Solution-dyed and UV-stabilised fabrics hold their colour for eight to ten.

How Heading Style Changes the Price

Heading style changes the price through fullness:

Choose the heading for how you want the curtain to sit and then price the fabric accordingly.

HDB and BTO Curtain Package Prices

Most HDB curtain price enquiries we receive are for the whole flat rather than a single window. Here, our package prices offer the best value:

A BTO curtain package at these prices includes:

• Custom fabrication to your measured window sizes
• A standard ceiling or wall-mounted track
• Installation by our own fitters

It does not include:

• Motorised tracks
• Tie-backs
• Pelmets
• Removal and disposal of existing curtains

Bespoke pieces take 5 to 10 weeks from final measurement, and window treatments carry a one-year warranty.

Installation, Tracks and the Costs People Forget

Curtain installation in Singapore is priced per track run rather than per curtain, and a quoted fabric price rarely includes it. Budget S$40 to S$80 per window for standard installation, and S$300 upward for a full flat.

The track itself is the line item people underestimate:

• A standard wall-mounted track costs S$25 per metre.
• A ceiling-recessed track, cut into the plaster so the curtain appears to fall from the ceiling with no visible hardware, costs S$60 per metre and needs to be specified before your renovation carpentry is closed.
• Decorative rods sit between the two and suit a heading with visible rings rather than a wave.
• Motorised track upgrades add S$650 per window, carry a five-year motor warranty, and are covered in our guide to smart and motorised curtains.

Removal and disposal of existing curtains runs from S$20 per window. Delivery is S$50 for standard orders. Measurement is free, and we do not charge for it whether or not the quotation is accepted.

Custom vs Ready-Made (Including IKEA)

Custom curtains are worth the difference when the windows are non-standard, or the home is a long-term one. When neither is true, ready-made is the better buy. Five dimensions separate them, and two of them favour ready-made.

• Upfront Cost: A ready-made pair costs S$50 to S$150, against S$600 for tailored curtains. Nothing closes that gap on day one.
• Lead Time: Ready-made covers the window this weekend. Bespoke takes 5 to 10 weeks from final measurement.
• Fit: HDB windows are rarely standard, particularly in older blocks and in bay or corner configurations.
• Fullness: Ready-made arrives at roughly 1.5 times the window width. Custom is cut at 2.2, which is the difference between a curtain that hangs flat and one that folds.
• Five-Year Cost: Replaced twice, a ready-made pair reaches S$300 across five years. A custom pair at S$600 is still hanging.

Every curtain we make at Aratamete is cut to the window it will hang in, which is what the fit and fullness lines come down to. If your windows are standard and you want the shorter route, our own ready-made range covers it properly at S$150.

How to Spend Less Without a Cheap-Looking Result

• Sheer only in living areas: Most living rooms are used in daylight and lit at night. A day curtain alone, well specified, saves S$350 per window over a pair.
• Blackout only where you sleep: Blackout in a bedroom earns its cost. Blackout in a study is money spent on a room you use with the lights on.
• One fabric across the flat: A single fabric ordered in one run cuts waste and unit cost, and it settles the flat visually. Vary the heading between rooms if you want separation.
• Bundle every room into one order: One fabrication run and one installation visit against three of each is where package pricing does its work.
• Let the budget choose the heading: Dropping from pinch pleat to double pleat across a whole flat reduces fabric consumption by roughly a fifth with no loss of finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Curtain Price in Singapore

What is a normal price for curtains?

A normal curtain price in Singapore is S$600 to S$1,400 per window for custom day-and-night curtains, including track and installation. Ready-made sits at S$60 to S$80 per panel. Below that band, expect a shorter drop, thinner fabric, or fullness under 2 times the window width.

How much will curtains cost?

Curtains cost S$600 to S$1,400 per window in Singapore, and S$4,500 to S$11,000 for a whole flat. Multiply your window count for a working estimate. Aratamete quotes to exact measurements free of charge, which beats any multiplication.

How much to spend on curtains in SG?

Budget S$700 to S$1,200 per window for a home you intend to keep for a decade. Below that, expect replacement within three to five years as sun exposure fades the fabric. Concentrate the spend in the living room, where the spans are widest.

How much do blinds cost in Singapore?

Blinds in Singapore cost S$250 to S$800 per window, below custom curtains and above ready-made panels. Roller and zebra sit at the lower end, wooden Venetian and honeycomb at the upper.

Are curtains or blinds cheaper?

Blinds are cheaper per window in most Singapore homes, typically by S$300 to S$500, because they use a fraction of the material a curtain heading needs. Curtains close the gap on wide living room spans, where one track beats three separate blind units.

How long do curtains last in Singapore?

Curtains last eight to ten years in Singapore with mid-weight fabric and moderate sun, and three to five on unshaded west-facing windows in standard polyester. Humidity reaches the lining and header tape first. Aratamete window treatments carry a one-year warranty.

Is installation included?

Installation is included in every Aratamete package price quoted by flat type, and itemised at S$80 per window on single-window orders. Our own fitters carry out the work. Track is quoted alongside, since type and length vary with the mounting method.

Do I pay for measurement?

Measurement is free. We measure at your home, advise on fabric and heading in the room they will hang in, and quote with no obligation. Booking a measurement does not commit you to an order.
