How to Measure for Roman Blinds: A Complete Guide

Measuring for Roman blinds is straightforward with these steps:

Step 1: Measure the Width

• Recess Fit: Measure the width inside the window recess at three points (top, middle, bottom) and use the smallest measurement.
• Exact Fit: Measure the width you want the blind to cover, typically slightly wider than the window frame.

Step 2: Measure the Drop

• Recess Fit: Measure the height inside the window recess at three points (left, middle, right) and use the smallest measurement.
• Exact Fit: Measure the height you want the blind to cover, from the top to the desired endpoint.

Key Considerations

• Mounting Position: Decide whether you want your blind inside or outside the window recess.
• Allowances: For recess fit, make slight deductions for a perfect fit.
