[quote=Anonymous]Easily $20-30K, when you combine shades/blinds, drapes for the rooms with custom drapes, and curtains/rods for other rooms. Its an enormous expense that you don't factor in when building a house. We paid about $800-1000 per window where we have the nicest blinds and about $500 per window for the "regular" ones, that's in the living room, dining room, master bedroom, etc. (Windows in other bedrooms luckily are a smaller/standard size and they have $50 honeycombs from Home Depot, but we still had to buy curtains, rods, etc. to go over them which probably totaled another $1000). Start with honeycombs on the biggest/north-facing windows and honeycombs or blackouts in the bedrooms and west/south windows--they will make the biggest difference in comfort and energy costs right away. Then do curtains and drapes as you decorate. [/quote]
