Manual roller and solar shades
If you don't need motorization, manual roller shades run $175 to $650 per window installed. Solar shades, which cut glare and heat while keeping your view, fall in a similar range depending on the screen fabric.
Cellular, or honeycomb, shades
Cordless cellular shades run $175 to $750 per window. These are the insulating pick for Ohio's cold winters, since the honeycomb pockets trap air at the glass. Blackout fabric adds roughly 10 to 30 percent.
Custom blinds
Faux wood blinds run $125 to $500 per window installed, and real wood blinds $150 to $600. Cordless lifts, which keep cords out of reach of kids and pets, are available across the range.
Plantation shutters
Custom composite shutters run $275 to $1,600 per window, and real hardwood $325 to $1,950. Arched and specialty shapes run 15 to 40 percent more, since each one is built to the exact opening.
What changes the price
Blackout fabric, specialty shapes, oversized windows, cassettes, and side channels all add cost. The only way to get a firm number is an in-home measurement, since every window is a little different.
