How to Measure Blinds for Windows?

Use a steel tape measure

Measure each window separately

Decide whether you want inside mount or outside mount

For inside mount, measure the exact width at the top, middle, and bottom of the window opening

Record the narrowest width

For inside mount, measure the exact height at the left, middle, and right of the window opening

Record the longest height

Measure the window depth to ensure enough space for inside mounting

For outside mount, measure the width you want the blinds to cover beyond the window frame

For outside mount, measure the height you want the blinds to cover beyond the window frame

Measure in three places for width and height to account for uneven windows

Round measurements only if the manufacturer instructs you to do so

Write width and height separately and label each window clearly

Double-check all measurements before ordering
