The first thing you need to decide when measuring for roman blinds is whether you want the blind to be inside the recess or outside. Which you choose depends mostly upon personal taste but there are other factors that you should think about. Is there enough space for the blind outside the recess? How much light do you want to block out? Do you still want to see the sill once the blind is down?

Tips for measuring roman blinds:

For accuracy we advise that you use a metal measuring tape. Always double check your measurements.

Inside the Recess WIDTH: Measure the width in several places, especially at the very top and bottom. Note the narrowest measurement of the recess. Reduce this figure by 1cms and this is your finished blind width. DROP: Measure the drop in several places, especially the outside edges. Note the shortest measurement. This recess figure is your finished blind drop.

Outside the Recess WIDTH: Measure the width in several places, especially at the very top and bottom. Note the narrowest measurement of the recess. Reduce this figure by 1cms and this is your finished blind width. DROP: Measure the drop in several places, especially the outside edges. Note the shortest measurement. This recess figure is your finished blind drop.

Always double check your measurements.
