Hi,

We are on a small budget but would love to have
real silk roman blinds in our lounge and a pair of polyester curtains
on the hall window.
I have been quoted by a person as follows.

5 roman blinds
14 meters fabric £45.00 £630.00
14 meters lining £5.00 £70.00
5 delux roman blind tracks £280.00

Total Cost £1,370.00

13 meters lining £5.00 £65.00
1 florentine pole oak acanthus finials £255.00

Total Cost £890.00

Material being used is Lusture Laminar 440681 100% Dupont Silk
And Jones Olivine Blossom/BIS 100% Polyester.

Please could someone look at the above quotes and tell me if they sound right? Any input will be of great help.

Thanks all

The quotes sound fine but if you’re on a budget then go with some budget friendly options. Eg measure up youself and use an online shop. They can make blinds and curtains based on your dimensions. Go with faux silk - real silk isn’t great when in direct sunlight anyway. I’d expect it’ll cost less than half of the above quote.

Thanks a bunch Jojo for this. I think this is great advice, I will
keep all this in view.
Bless ya :)
