Roman Shades for windows

Precise measurements play a critical role when ordering blinds or modern Roman shades for your windows. 

By following these step-by-step instructions, you can ensure a seamless installation and a perfect fit for your window treatments.

To begin, gather the necessary tools: a steel measuring tape, a pencil, and a notepad or smartphone to record your measurements.

Next, decide whether you prefer an inside mount or an outside mount. Inside mounts fit within the window frame, while outside mounts cover the entire frame for maximum light control.

For inside mount custom Roman shades, measure the width of the window frame at the top, middle, and bottom. Take the smallest measurement to ensure a proper fit. 

Additionally, measure the inside height at the left, center, and right, and use the largest measurement to accommodate any variances.

For outside mount fabric Roman shades, measure the desired width of the blind or shade from the outside edges of the window frame. 

Consider adding extra inches to allow for overlap and full coverage. 

Measure the desired height from the top edge of the window frame to the desired endpoint of the blind or shade, taking into account any additional inches needed for improved light control and privacy.

When recording the measurements of your Roman shades for a bedroom or any other room, be sure to label each measurement with its corresponding window or location clearly. 

Double-check your measurements to ensure accuracy and avoid any errors.

Take special considerations into account. If your windows have handles, measure the height and width clearance required to accommodate them. 

For cordless Roman shades or blinds to be installed on a door, measure the width and height from the outside edges of the door frame.

If you’re uncertain about any aspect of the measuring process, it is advisable to consult with a professional or contact the supplier for guidance.

Many suppliers offer to measure services where experts can visit your location to take precise measurements, ensuring a perfect fit for your window treatments.

Remember, accurate measurements are essential to achieve the desired outcome and to ensure that your blinds or shades fit flawlessly, enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of your windows.
