How do I measure my windows for blinds or shades?

Asked 6 months ago
To measure your windows for blinds or shades, start by measuring the width and height of the inside of the window frame in three locations: top, middle, and bottom. Use the smallest measurement for width and the longest measurement for height. For outside mount blinds, measure the width and height of the area you want the blinds to cover. Add at least 2 inches to the width and height for maximum privacy and light control. It's also important to consider the type of blinds or shades you are ordering, as different styles may require different measurements.
