How to Measure For Roman Blinds

How to Measure For Roman Blinds

First, you should use a metal tape measure for accuracy. Measurements should be in cm to the nearest 1/2 cm.

Please double-check your measurements.

The three ways for measuring Roman Blinds are:

1. Inside Recess

1. Measure width at the narrowest point so your blind can hang freely

2. Measure Drop

3. Note which side you would like the cord – right or left

2. Outside Recess

First check for obstructions that might stop your blind hanging freely and then decide on the amount of fabric to overlap the top and sides of the window recess. We recommend at least 5cm for both.

1. Measure the width you decide on

2. Measure the drop you decide on

3. Note which side you would like the cord – right or left

3. Fixed To Window Architrave (Frame)

First, decide whether you want your roman blind to hang on the outside or inside edge of the window architrave.

1. Measure the width

2. Measure drop

3. Note which side you would like the cord – right or left
