Searching "affordable blinds near me," "cheap custom blinds Nashville," or "budget blinds Tennessee" and getting nowhere except big-box price calculators that don't include install? You're in the right place. Stately Shades is a family-owned dealer in Gallatin, Tennessee, and our most popular product is also our most affordable: custom-fit faux wood blinds starting at $89 per window installed. This guide explains exactly what affordable looks like at our showroom, who it's for, and which cities we serve.
What "affordable" actually means at Stately Shades
Three numbers cover most of the affordable catalogue in Middle Tennessee in 2026:
- $89 per window installed — 2″ or 2.5″ faux wood blind, cordless, white finish, custom-fit to your opening, professionally hung level.
- $850–$1,500 — whole-house package of 8–12 faux wood windows, fully installed, including a free in-home measure and a written quote on the first visit.
- $0 — what the consultation and the measure and the quote cost you. Free, every time, within 90 miles of Gallatin.

Affordable doesn't mean stock-sized. Every blind we sell is cut to your window, even at $89.
The cheapest custom blind — faux wood
The lowest-cost custom blind in our showroom is a 2″ or 2.5″ faux wood horizontal blind. It is:
- Custom-cut to your exact opening (not a stock 36×60 that doesn't fit).
- Cordless and child-safe — meets WCMA safety standards by default.
- Humidity-proof — won't warp like real wood in kitchens, baths, or basements.
- Available in white, cream, oat, and printed-grain stains (walnut, oak, espresso).
- Backed by manufacturer warranty from Norman, Graber, or Bali.
- Professionally measured and installed, with our workmanship guarantee.

Who buys affordable blinds from us
- First-home buyers in the Nashville metro furnishing 8–14 windows on a budget.
- Landlords and property managers outfitting rentals across Davidson, Sumner, Williamson, and Rutherford counties.
- Builders doing builder-grade-replacement upgrades on spec homes.
- Homeowners with a long honest-do list — the kitchen needs custom shutters, the kids' rooms need faux wood, and one budget covers both.
- Anyone with a single problem window — a bath, a basement, a garage office — who doesn't want to pay $400/window for one shade.
How affordable compares to big-box
A 36×60 faux wood blind from a big-box store (Home Depot, Lowes) is typically $45–$95 unboxed, plus install if you hire it out. Their install averages $40–$70 per window if the installer agrees to come at all — many won't for under five blinds. Total: $85–$165 per window, with no in-home measure and no follow-up if something's wrong.
Our $89/window includes the custom dimensions, the install, the measure visit, the workmanship guarantee, and the same-week scheduling. And if a slat gets damaged in year two, we replace it for cost.
The affordable spec we install most
Norman 2.5″ faux wood, cordless, white, inside-mount. Average installed price in 2026 across the Nashville metro: $92–$118 per window, falling to as low as $89 on whole-house packages.
Other affordable options we sell
- Single-cell cellular shades, cordless — from $80/window. Better for bedrooms (light insulation, sound dampening).
- Light-filtering roller shades — from $90/window. Cleaner, modern.
- 2″ faux wood — slightly cheaper than 2.5″, $5–$15 less per window.
- 1″ aluminum mini-blinds — from $55/window. Bare-bones bath or laundry option.
Already bought your blinds? We install those too.
If affordable for you means buying online at Blinds.com or driving to Lowes, that's also fine — we offer install-only service across the same 90-mile radius. Flat-rate per window, professional install, workmanship guarantee. Both routes get you a window dressed correctly; the right one depends on what you'd rather optimize for — price, custom fit, or your Saturday.
