Inside Recess

For mounting the blind inside your window recess follow these instructions.

Step 1
Measure The Width

Measure the width of your window recess in three places, top middle and bottom. Use the smallest measurement as your width.

Step 2
Measure The Drop

Measure the drop of your window recess in three places, top middle and bottom. Use the smallest measurement as your drop.

Step 3
Enter the measurements

Select your product, enter your width and drop measurements, and choose the Inside Recess sizing option. Deductions: When you select Inside Recess, we will make a small deduction to the width of your blind to accommodate the brackets.

Recess Obstructions

Factor in Obstructions

If you have obstructions within your recess e.g. tiles, measure between these two points and use this as your width measurement.

Blind Size

To fit your Roman blind outside the window recess, follow these instructions. Your blind will be made to the exact size you provide. Following the instructions, add extra width and length to ensure your Roman blinds neatly overlap the recessed area.

Step 1
Measure The Width

Determine the amount of overlap you want your blind to have on each side of your window recess, then measure this width.

Step 2
Measure The Drop

Measure the distance from where you want the top of the blind to start to where you want the bottom to finish. This measurement is your drop

Step 3
Enter the measurements

Go to your chosen product, enter your width and drop measurements, and select "Blind Size" as your sizing option. Note: When you select the "Blind Size" option, we will not make any deductions to your measurements. The size you provide will be the span from one bracket to the other.
