Secondly they have to be measured and fit just right in order to look like they are supposed to designed for them.
Third factor is the type of material they are made from is also a cost factor need to be considered.You can spend several thousands of dollars on them by having them custom made. You can spend considerably less if you buy already ready made and save your few bugs.
Another most important part of the expense will be the curtain rods and hardware you have to have for these blinds. You can’t use a regular curtain rod for roman blinds. They are made a little differently. And you might need to have seperate brackets and braces for the center of the rod if the window is wider than normal size.

Look over your rooms, decide what color and what kind of material you want according to the colour of your room and choose accordingly. Then you will be ready to decide if you want them made professionally or if you want to buy them ready made from the store.Or if you are really brave enough, if you want to try to make them yourself which is a bit difficult if you are not a professional.
