When it comes to new blinds or shades, in addition to choosing a style and color, you’ll also need to consider whether you want to mount your window treatments inside or outside the frame.
With an inside mount, you’ll install your blind or shade within the window frame. An outside mount is just that—a blind or shade mounted outside the window frame—on the trim or above the window.
Here’s a look at each.
Keep in mind: You’ll need enough depth within the frame so that your window treatment doesn’t extend beyond it. Also note any handles or cranks on your window frame; depending how far they extend, an inside-mounted blind or shade may catch when lowered. In addition, you’ll have a small light gap on each side of the blind or shade to allow for smooth operation.
Keep in mind: If you’re installing window treatments with blackout fabrics, you’ll definitely want to mount the blind or shades outside the frame, in order to block light from the sides of the windows.
