Introduction

Choosing Roman Blinds adds a touch of luxury to any space — but accurate measuring is crucial for a flawless fit. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to measure windows for Roman blinds, whether you’re fitting inside or outside the recess.

Tools You’ll Need

Inside vs Outside Recess

If your window has a recess (inset space), you can choose to fit your Roman Blinds inside or outside it. Inside gives a clean, built-in look, while outside recess fitting can help block more light. Measure both width and drop in three places — top, middle, and bottom — and record the smallest measurement.

Brilliant blinds and service

We recently added wooden and Roman blinds to my home, and I love how they turned out! The wooden blinds bring such a warm, classic feel to the space, and they’re super easy to adjust for just the right amount of light and privacy. Plus, they’re really sturdy and easy to clean—definitely a win. The Roman blinds, on the other hand, have this soft, elegant look that works perfectly in my bedrooms. The fabric falls beautifully, and they’re really smooth to open and close. They let in just the right amount of natural light during the day while keeping things cozy and private at night. Overall, both styles have totally upgraded my space. They look great, work well, and feel like a perfect blend of style and function. If you’re thinking about new blinds, I’d definitely recommend these!The delivery is smooth with regular updates, installation was easy enough to do it myself, Highly recommend!
