Mini blinds are always at the top of the list of any inexpensive blinds, but there are many other affordable blinds available at Factory Direct Blinds. When it comes to affordable blinds, we love faux wood blinds for their lower price point and traditional looks. Not only are they less expensive than real wood, they’re also more durable and moisture-resistant. We also offer roman shades, which offer a soft and subtle aesthetic to rooms, in addition to custom blinds designed to match your room’s style. We also offer light filtering roller blinds, which are ideal for bedrooms, and single cell treatments that are perfect for large and deep windows.

FAQs
What to put in windows if can't afford blinds?
If you can’t afford blinds, you can always put shades in your windows. Window shades represent a type of window treatment that involves covering a window with fabric for aesthetic and functional purposes. There are several types of window shades, including cellular shades, roller shades, Roman shades, zebra shades, etc.
How to measure window for blinds for budget blinds?
First, you should determine whether you want to install horizontal, vertical, or mini blinds. Then, you need to decide if the blinds will be installed inside or outside the window frame. If you’re installing them inside the window frame, measure the length on the left, center, and right sides, and use the longest measurement, measuring to the nearest 1/8’’. Then, measure the width across the top, middle, and bottom of the window opening and use the narrowest measurement, measuring up to the nearest 1/8’’. The instructions for installing budget blinds on the outside of the window frame vary depending on the blind type.
Are shades cheaper than blinds?
Shades can be both more affordable and more expensive than blinds, depending on the type. For example, basic roller shades can be relatively affordable. On the other hand, custom shades can be quite costly.
Do cellular shades look cheap?
While some argue that cellular shades look cheap, others say that’s not true. Since every person is different, it’s impossible to give a universal answer to this question. It all comes down to personal preference. Fortunately, cellular shades come in different styles, colors, and patterns, so you can always find something that suits your taste and budget.
