for blinds means capturing your window&#8217;s exact width and height and choosing an inside or outside mount so the fit is precise. Learning how to measure for blinds is essential for a successful project. Proper measurements ensure your blinds or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/window-treatments\">other window treatments<\/a> fit your window properly, look great and provide the privacy and light control you need. Accurately measuring for blinds is especially important if you plan on ordering custom blinds, which are handcrafted to perfectly fit your window for a tailored, polished look. Measuring correctly can also help you choose the size of premade blinds that best fits your window, although it may not give you a perfect fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning how to measure your windows for blinds correctly is what makes ordering custom blinds worthwhile, since your window treatments are made to fit your exact measurements rather than forced into a standard size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Key Takeaways: Measuring for Blinds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Order custom and we cut to your numbers, so you are never forced into a standard size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measure width and height in three places each, since a window is rarely perfectly square.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inside mount needs at least 3\/4 inch of depth and gives a clean, built-in look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outside mount hides an uneven opening and can make a window feel taller.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Write measurements width first, then height (W x H), rounded to the nearest 1\/8 inch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id9435_74ccf4-f1{margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:25px;}.kb-row-layout-id9435_74ccf4-f1

refers to the narrowest your window frame can be, from the glass to the edge of the frame, to allow for a secure inside-mount installation. To measure depth, measure the space at the top of your window frame from the glass to the edge of your window\u2019s interior trim. If the measurement is \u00be-inch or larger, you\u2019ll be able to securely inside mount Wood or Metal Blinds from The Shade Store. Different window treatment products from other brands or in our own product offerings may have different requirements, so be sure to check the installation guidelines for your chosen product.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id9435_ef20d2-a6{margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:25px;}.kb-row-layout-id9435_ef20d2-a6

Mount<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/inside-mount-blinds\/\">Inside mount<\/a> refers to your blinds being installed inside the window frame, typically fastened to the top or \u201cceiling\u201d of the window frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside-mount applications require a window depth of at least \u00be-inch but will require a little more than 2 inches for a flush inside mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Choose Inside Mount<\/strong>: Creates a clean, tailored look for your design thanks to the blind fitting securely inside the frame. Plus, you\u2019ll be able to showcase your window frame, which is ideal if they feature detailed woodwork.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column9435_2abbf7-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column9435_2abbf7-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column9435_2abbf7-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column9435_2abbf7-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column9435_2abbf7-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column9435_2abbf7-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column9435_2abbf7-4b{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column9435_2abbf7-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column9435_2abbf7-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column9435_2abbf7-4b inner-column-2\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image9435_090c79-72 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image9435_090c79-72 size-full img-four-fifths\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-shade-store-wood-blinds-2-inch-exotic-zebrano-how-to-measure-for-blinds-modern-dining-room-content-2019-girona-460x325px.jpg\" alt=\"Wood Blinds made of 2-inch Exotic wood in Zebrano are outside-mounted on a tall window in a dining room with eccentric decor\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-15949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-shade-store-wood-blinds-2-inch-exotic-zebrano-how-to-measure-for-blinds-modern-dining-room-content-2019-girona-460x325px.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-shade-store-wood-blinds-2-inch-exotic-zebrano-how-to-measure-for-blinds-modern-dining-room-content-2019-girona-460x325px-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading9435_282956-ca, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading9435_282956-ca[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading9435_282956-ca\"]{padding-top:15px;padding-right:10px;padding-left:10px;margin-bottom:15px;text-align:center;font-size:14px;font-weight:500;font-style:normal;font-family:Montserrat;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading9435_282956-ca mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading9435_282956-ca[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading9435_282956-ca\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading9435_282956-ca img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading9435_282956-ca[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading9435_282956-ca\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h4 class=\"kt-adv-heading9435_282956-ca wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading9435_282956-ca\">Outside Mount<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/outside-mount-roman-shades\/\">Outside mount<\/a> refers to your blinds being installed outside the window frame, typically on the wall or ceiling above your window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside-mount applications don\u2019t have a depth requirement, so they offer more installation flexibility and can be mounted on nearly any window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Choose Outside Mount:<\/strong> When installed a few inches above your window, it creates the illusion of height, which can help your room feel more spacious.

depend on how high above the window you want your blinds to extend. Remember that going higher above your window will create the illusion of height for a more spacious feel. If you\u2019re not sure how high to go, a good rule of thumb is to go two to three inches above your window frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know how high you want your blinds to be, <strong>measure from that point down to the bottom edge of your windowsill<\/strong>. <strong><strong>Round to the nearest 1\/8-inch and this will be your ordering

requires a few more steps than outside mount. You\u2019ll need to take three measurements for length because no window is completely square, so measuring three times helps ensure your blinds fit correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For length, take measurements in three places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At the left side of your window<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the center of your window<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the right side of your

outside-mount installation will depend on how far you want your blinds to extend past the window frame. For the best light control, it&#8217;s best to extend your blinds by two to three inches on each side beyond the window trim. This will limit light seepage from the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you determine how far past the window frame you want your blinds to extend, <strong>measure from one side to the other.<\/strong> Make sure to center your measurement so the extension beyond the frame is equal on both sides. <strong>Round to the nearest 1\/8-inch and this is your ordering

When mounting blinds on the door, you&#8217;ll likely need to measure to ensure the slats clear the handle. If mounting blinds above the door, the blinds will probably protrude far enough off the wall to clear the handle on their own. For blinds on the door, you may also want to use hold-down brackets so the blinds do not swing when the door opens. Treat a wide patio slider doors like a very wide window and consider two independent blinds installed above the doors rather than one oversized set.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:0px;}.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-image:url('https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-shade-store-metal-blinds-2-inch-metal-champagne-how-to-measure-for-blinds-gleaming-modern-kitchen-content-2019-valencia-380x400px.jpg');background-size:cover;background-position:53% 28.999999999999996%;background-attachment:scroll;background-repeat:no-repeat;}.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5{position:relative;}.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5:not(.specificity){margin-top:0px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{min-height:225px;flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column9435_b45d9e-d5 inner-column-2\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id9435_cc7ce3-03 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id9435_cc7ce3-03 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id9435_cc7ce3-03 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id9435_cc7ce3-03 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id9435_cc7ce3-03 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id9435_cc7ce3-03 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id9435_cc7ce3-03 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column9435_0d1e42-76 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column9435_0d1e42-76 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column9435_0d1e42-76 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column9435_0d1e42-76 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column9435_0d1e42-76 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column9435_0d1e42-76 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column9435_0d1e42-76{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column9435_0d1e42-76 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column9435_0d1e42-76 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column9435_0d1e42-76\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-standard-sizes-vs-a-custom-fit\">Standard Sizes vs a Custom Fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Off-the-shelf blinds come in a handful of standard sizes, usually in two-inch width increments up to around 72 inches wide, with either two-inch slats or mini blinds with one-inch slats. A standard size can work in a pinch, but it rarely matches a real window, so you end up trimming slats or living with light gaps down the sides. <a type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blinds\" id=\"https:\/\/www.theshadestore.com\/blinds\">Custom blinds<\/a> are built to the measurements you take here, which is why they sit flush in the frame and read as part of the architecture rather than an add-on. If your window falls between standard sizes, or you simply want a tailored look, custom is the more intentional and sophisticated choice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id9435_8add65-1b > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id9435_8add65-1b > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id9435_8add65-1b > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id9435_8add65-1b > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id9435_8add65-1b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id9435_8add65-1b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id9435_8add65-1b alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column9435_298037-c4 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column9435_298037-c4 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column9435_298037-c4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column9435_298037-c4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column9435_298037-c4 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column9435_298037-c4 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column9435_298037-c4{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column9435_298037-c4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column9435_298037-c4 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column9435_298037-c4\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-order-blinds\">How to Order Blinds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how to measure for blinds, you\u2019re ready to place your order.

Our Blinds are relatively simple to install but explore these best practices to get a sense for what the process entails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always be sure to consult the installation guide for your chosen product before starting your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, installation will include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Step 1: Gather tools. You can use the same tools you used for measuring, as well as the addition of a drill and screwdriver.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 2: Mark bracket placement on your wall, ceiling or window frame based on the measurements you took in the steps above.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 3: Create pilot holes in the appropriate places with your drill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 4: Fasten the brackets with a screwdriver.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 5: Mount the headrail into the brackets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id9435_cdf832-a5{margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:25px;}.kb-row-layout-id9435_cdf832-a5

measurements?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always width first, then height (W x H). Note it clearly on your worksheet so a 24 x 60 order is never read as 60 x 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How much smaller should blinds be than the window?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an inside mount, you do not deduct anything yourself. Record the exact opening and we make the factory deduction, so the blind clears the frame and still covers the glass. For an outside mount, go larger rather than smaller: two to three inches beyond the opening on every side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How are blinds measured?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You measure blinds width and height a little differently depending on whether the blinds will be installed in an inside or outside mount application. For an inside mount, measure width and height in three places each and take the narrowest width and longest drop. For an outside mount, measure to the full coverage you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Should I choose inside mount or outside mount for blinds?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose inside mount blinds if you want a clean, built-in look and have enough window depth for a secure installation. Choose outside mount blinds if your window is shallow, uneven or out of square, or if you want more coverage and better light control around the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you measure for blackout blinds?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Measure as usual, then favor an outside mount with generous overlap for greater light coverage. Room-darkening treatments only perform when the fabric extends past the opening, so light cannot slip around the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I measure for blinds myself, or should I book a professional?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can absolutely measure yourself with the steps above. For bay windows, very tall windows or a whole-home order where a small error multiplies, our free professional measurement removes the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do the same steps work for shades?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mostly, yes. The mount decision and the three-point method for inside mount applications carry over, though depth requirements and fabric deductions differ by product. See our guide to measuring for shades.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"In what order do you write blind measurements?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Always width first, then height (W x H).
