Window furnishings are often one of the final renovation items—but that doesn’t mean they should be an afterthought. With the right strategy, even homeowners on a tight budget can enjoy beautiful, functional curtains and blinds without compromising on quality.
If you're moving into a new BTO or resale home and watching your renovation budget closely, here’s how to plan smart using a starter package.
Why Window Furnishing Costs Add Up
Window treatments involve more than just fabric. Costs typically include:
-
Curtain/blind materials (sheer, dimout, blackout, etc.)
-
Track systems or motorized components
-
Measurement and custom tailoring
-
Installation by trained professionals
For a full home, this can range from $1,000 to over $4,000, depending on fabric quality and system complexity.
How a Starter Curtain Package Helps
A starter window furnishing package helps reduce cost while covering your home’s essentials. At HM Gallery, we offer affordable curtain packages that include:
-
Curtains for bedrooms and living rooms
-
Free measurement and consultation
-
Standard track installation
-
A curated selection of durable, stylish fabrics
This is ideal for first-time homeowners, those waiting to upgrade later, or temporary setups before long-term interior styling.
Prioritize Key Areas First
If you can’t do the whole house at once, focus on the most essential areas:
✅ Bedrooms – where privacy and blackout are needed
✅ Living room – especially if you have full-height balcony glass
✅ Service yard or bathroom – consider basic blinds for moisture control
You can add or upgrade later in non-critical areas like the study, guest room, or hallway.
Choose Cost-Effective Curtain Types
To stay within budget, consider:
-
Dimout instead of full blackout for privacy with light filtering
-
S-fold curtains for easy maintenance and sleek modern looks
-
Roller blinds in wet areas (affordable and moisture-resistant)
-
Manual track systems instead of motorized—upgrade later
Stick with neutral fabrics like grey, beige, or off-white—they’re timeless and easier to match with any future theme.
Bonus: Maintenance Matters
Saving money also means choosing curtains that are:
-
Machine-washable or low-maintenance
-
Resistant to dust and humidity
-
Made with anti-mould coatings (especially for balconies or service yards)
HM Gallery’s starter package includes fabric options that check all the boxes for Singapore’s climate.
Conclusion
With the right approach, window furnishing doesn’t have to break the bank. A starter curtain package gives you privacy, comfort, and style—while keeping your renovation budget on track.
