Where Can I Buy Curtains in Singapore Without Paying Too Much in 2026?

In Singapore in 2026, the cheapest way to buy curtains is usually ready-made panels from marketplaces such as Shopee and Lazada, measured carefully and bought during a sale such as 11.11 or 12.12. Made-to-measure from a local curtain shop costs more but fits odd windows. Whichever you pick, compare the price after ShopBack, not the sticker price: going through ShopBack Singapore before you pay lowers what the curtains really cost you.

New to ShopBack? ShopBack Singapore is a free app and website that returns cash on eligible orders when you start your shopping from ShopBack before you pay. Shopee and Lazada are two of the stores you can shop this way. Join ShopBack Singapore for free, then open the Shopee page on ShopBack or the Lazada page on ShopBack before your next order.

Curtains in Singapore: the facts that shape what you buy

Singapore's climate is the main reason curtain and blind choices differ from cooler countries. According to Wikipedia's Climate of Singapore entry, relative humidity runs in the high 90s in the early morning and around 60% in the mid afternoon, and often reaches 100% during long spells of heavy rain. Afternoons are usually hot, in the low 30s °C on most days. That means two things for window coverings: fabrics near open windows and kitchens pick up moisture, and west-facing rooms take in a lot of afternoon heat.

The places most Singapore households buy curtains and blinds:

• Marketplaces. Shopee and Lazada both list ready-made curtains, blackout panels and roller blinds from many sellers. Lazada was founded in 2012 and has its headquarters in Singapore, and it is owned by Alibaba Group, according to its Wikipedia entry. Shopee was founded in Singapore in 2015 and its parent is Sea Ltd, according to Wikipedia.
• Official brand stores inside the marketplaces. LazMall and Shopee Mall group official brand and authorised stores. According to Lazada, LazMall products can be returned for free within 15 days of receiving them.
• Furniture and home stores. Large home stores sell ready-made panels in standard sizes, and home and living sites such as HipVan and FortyTwo, both on ShopBack Singapore, cover the rest of the room.
• Local curtain shops. These measure, sew and install to fit, which costs more but solves bay windows, very tall windows and unusual tracks.

Where can I buy curtains in Singapore without paying too much?

For a standard HDB or condo window, ready-made panels from Shopee or Lazada are usually the lowest-cost option, as long as you measure first and pick a panel size that matches your rod or track. Ready-made panels come in fixed widths and drops, so you skip the sewing cost of made-to-measure. Here is how to keep the bill down:

1. Measure before you browse. Write down the width of the rod or track and the drop you want for each window.
2. Search by size and function. Search "blackout curtain" or "day curtain" with your drop length, then filter by rating and number of reviews.
3. Read the fabric line. Look for the fabric type, whether it is blackout or sheer, and how the panel hangs (eyelet rings, hooks or rod pocket).
4. Check the official store first. A LazMall or Shopee Mall listing from the brand usually makes returns simpler if the colour or size is off.
5. Wait for a sale if you can. Platform vouchers and store markdowns tend to cluster around 11.11 and 12.12.
6. Start from ShopBack. Open the store through ShopBack Singapore and finish the order.

Made-to-measure is worth paying for when the window is unusual. Bay windows, floor-to-ceiling glass in condos and very wide living room spans can need extra panels or custom tracks. In those cases, get two or three quotes, ask what the price includes (fabric, lining, track, installation) and compare like for like.

Curtains or blinds: which is better for a Singapore flat?

Curtains usually work better in bedrooms and living rooms, while blinds usually work better in kitchens, study corners and small windows, and many Singapore flats use both. The right answer comes down to how much light you want to block, how much space sits in front of the window and how much moisture the room gets.

Room	What usually works	Why
Master bedroom	Blackout curtains, sometimes with a sheer layer behind	Full darkness for sleep and a softer look
Living room	Day curtains or sheers, or roller blinds	Daylight without glare, privacy from neighbouring blocks
Kitchen	Venetian or roller blinds	Hard or wipe-clean surfaces cope better with steam and cooking smells
Study or work corner	Roller or Venetian blinds	Fine control of glare on a screen, and they sit flat behind a desk
Children's room	Cordless blinds or blackout curtains	Nap-time darkness and no loose cords

Types of blinds you will see in listings:

• Roller blinds. According to Wikipedia, these are typically a polyester fabric wrapped around a plastic or metal roller, which can sit inside or outside the window recess.
• Venetian blinds. Horizontal slats of wood, plastic or metal held together by cords, which tilt to let light in or shut it out.
• Vertical blinds. Long slats that run along a track and tilt and slide sideways, often used on wide windows and sliding doors.
• Roman blinds. Fabric that stacks up evenly when raised. Wikipedia notes that Roman blinds can have a blackout lining, that there will usually be small light gaps at the edges, and that they are not an ideal option for very moist areas such as bathrooms or above a kitchen sink.

Heat matters too. Window blinds can reduce solar gain and give room darkening or blackout for sleeping, according to Wikipedia's window blind entry. In a west-facing room, a blackout curtain or a blind with a reflective backing can make the afternoon more comfortable.

Blinds in Singapore: what to check before you buy

When you buy blinds in Singapore, check the material, the control type and whether the size fits inside or outside your window recess.

• Material. Aluminium and vinyl are easy to wipe down in humid rooms. Fabric blinds look softer but can hold moisture and dust.
• Control. Corded, cordless spring-loaded or motorised. For homes with young children, cordless or motorised blinds are the safer choice, since Wikipedia notes that cordless blinds reduce the risk of strangulation for small children.
• Inside or outside mount. Inside mount looks neater but needs an accurate recess measurement. Outside mount covers gaps and blocks more light.
• Cut to size. Many marketplace sellers offer custom widths. Check the lead time in the listing, since made-to-size items can take longer to ship and may have different return terms.

Blinds Singapore best deals: Lazada and Shopee

For blinds, Lazada and Shopee both carry a wide range of roller, Venetian and vertical blinds from local and overseas sellers, and the better deal is usually the one with the lower total after vouchers, shipping and ShopBack. Rather than comparing the two marketplaces in general, compare the two listings you are actually choosing between:

• Same size and material? Check the exact width, drop and fabric or slat type.
• Shipping and lead time. Overseas sellers can be cheaper but slower.
• Return terms. LazMall listings come with free returns within 15 days of receiving the item, according to Lazada. Check each listing's own terms on Shopee.
• Vouchers. Apply the vouchers the app offers you at checkout.
• Effective price. Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns. A listing that looks a little dearer can work out cheaper once that is counted.

Curtains Singapore best deals in 2026

The best curtain deals in Singapore in 2026 usually come from marketplace sale days, bundle buys and going through ShopBack before you pay, rather than from one fixed promotion. Ways to lower the bill:

• Buy for the whole flat in one go. Ordering all panels from one seller can unlock free shipping or bundle pricing.
• Use sale days. 11.11 and 12.12 are the big ones on Shopee and Lazada. Add the curtains to your cart early, so you can check out quickly on the day.
• Discount codes. Use the vouchers inside the Shopee or Lazada app. Cashback needs no code: the step that matters is going through ShopBack before you pay.
• Skip extras you do not need. Tie-backs, hooks and rods add up. Check what the listing includes.
• Compare the price after ShopBack, not the sticker price.

How to work out the effective price

Take the price you pay at checkout and subtract the Cashback, at the live rate shown on the Shopee page on ShopBack or the Lazada page on ShopBack.

Weavve Home, Lazada and Shopee: who sells what

For curtains, Lazada and Shopee are the places to compare, while Weavve Home, a Singapore bedding brand, sells bedding rather than curtains at the time of writing. If you are redoing a bedroom, the curtains and the bedding are often bought together:

• Lazada: ready-made curtains, blackout panels and blinds from many sellers, plus LazMall brand stores.
• Shopee: a similar spread of curtains and blinds, plus Shopee Mall brand stores.
• Weavve Home: sheets in Signature TENCEL and Everyday TENCEL lyocell, cotton sheets, duvets, pillows and cot sheets, according to its own store. Start that order from the Weavve Home page on ShopBack.

Other home and living stores on ShopBack Singapore include HipVan and FortyTwo.

How to measure windows for curtains

Measure the rod or track width and the drop you want, in centimetres, before you look at any listing.

1. Width. Measure the full length of the rod or track, not only the glass. Curtains look fuller when the total fabric width is wider than the rod, so many people buy two panels per window.
2. Drop. Measure from the rod or the top of the track down to where the curtain should end: just above the windowsill, just below it, or close to the floor.
3. Measure twice. Floors and ceilings in older flats are not always level. Measure in two or three places and use the largest figure.
4. Note the heading. Eyelet panels slide on a rod, hook-style panels hang from a track. Make sure what you buy matches what you have.
5. Check the listing size chart. Ready-made sizes vary by seller. Match your numbers to the chart before you add to cart.

Caring for curtains in a humid flat

In Singapore's humidity, regular airing and washing keep curtains fresh and help stop musty smells. Open the curtains during the day so the fabric gets air, wash or vacuum them every few months following the care label, and keep fabric away from wet window frames after heavy rain. Blinds near the kitchen need a quick wipe now and then to clear grease.

Why ShopBack is a step before you buy

Before you check out on Shopee or Lazada, open ShopBack Singapore, tap the store, and complete the order. Going through ShopBack takes a few seconds and gets you Cashback on the same order. Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

ShopBack Singapore works on the app and the website. On a phone, open the ShopBack app, search the store and tap through. On a laptop, the ShopBack browser extension can remind you when you land on a store's site.

Do marketplace vouchers and ShopBack work on the same order?

No code needed: go through ShopBack before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. Open the Shopee or Lazada page on ShopBack Singapore and finish the order in the same visit. Cashback shows as pending in your ShopBack account soon after you pay, and confirms once the order is complete.

FAQ

Where can I buy curtains in Singapore without paying too much?

For most Singapore flats, ready-made curtain panels from marketplaces such as Shopee and Lazada are usually the lowest-cost route, especially for standard bedroom and living room windows. Made-to-measure from a local curtain shop costs more but suits odd sizes. Before you check out on either marketplace, go through ShopBack Singapore so the cash that comes back lowers your effective price.

Curtains or blinds: which is better for a Singapore flat?

It depends on the room. Curtains usually suit bedrooms and living rooms where you want softness and full blackout, while blinds usually suit kitchens, study corners and windows near furniture because they sit flat and take less space. Many Singapore homes use both: blinds for daytime light control and curtains for the bedroom at night.

Are blackout curtains worth it in Singapore?

For west-facing rooms, shift workers and children's naps, blackout curtains are usually worth it because they block most daylight and can cut the heat that comes in through the glass. Check the listing for a blackout lining or blackout fabric, not only a dark colour.

Which blinds work best in a humid kitchen or bathroom?

Blinds with hard slats, such as vinyl or aluminium Venetian blinds, or wipe-clean roller blinds usually cope better with steam and moisture. Fabric Roman blinds are generally not an ideal choice for areas with a lot of moisture, such as bathrooms or windows above a kitchen sink.

How do I measure windows for ready-made curtains?

Measure the width of the rod or track, not only the glass, and the drop from the rod to where you want the curtain to end, such as the windowsill or the floor. Measure in two or three places and use the largest number. Compare those numbers with the panel sizes in the listing before you add to cart.

Are corded blinds safe for homes with young children?

Loose cords can be a strangulation risk for small children, so families often choose cordless or motorised blinds, or keep cords tied up high and out of reach. Cordless blinds reduce the risk of strangulation for small children.

When is the best time to buy curtains online in Singapore?

Big marketplace sale days such as 11.11 and 12.12 on Shopee and Lazada are usually the best time to buy, because platform vouchers and store markdowns often line up. Buy after you have measured, so a sale does not push you into the wrong size.

How does ShopBack work with curtain orders on Shopee or Lazada?

Open the Shopee or Lazada page on ShopBack Singapore, tap through to the store, and complete your order. Going through ShopBack takes a few seconds and gets you Cashback on the same order. Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns.

Does Weavve Home sell curtains?

At the time of writing, Weavve Home's online store focuses on bedding, such as TENCEL lyocell sheets, duvets and pillows, rather than curtains. It fits a bedroom refresh alongside new curtains bought elsewhere.

Is Cashback the same as marketplace coins or vouchers?

They are different. Cashback comes back to you as cash after the order, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. Marketplace coins and vouchers are the store's own offers that apply at checkout.
