Roman Blinds: How to Put Them Up

Putting those ingenious paws to use…

You can easily install Roman blinds with your hands, helpful advice, and a companion. You probably doubted your DIY abilities after purchasing Roman blinds from a store because of the complicated installation instructions included with them. Despite the visuals and technical jargon, rest assured that you can accomplish it on your own. The most challenging component of installing blinds is deciding whether they should be mounted inside or outside the window frame. This Roman blinds installation tutorial will help you with the next steps.

Those already invested in a Roman blind may not need the information below. However, those still debating between window coverings may find learning more about Roman blinds helpful. Simply said, they are a chain that pulls on a piece of fabric that has been folded into pleats. They can be crippled, with cloth added that overlaps when the blinds are lowered, or flat (laying flat when drawn down). Silk, cotton, and linen are standard fabrics for Roman blinds. That’s not all, though. Blinds are a great place to start if you’re looking to inject some personality into your space. The most crucial factor to consider when hanging Roman blinds is that you can do so from the inside or the outside.

Select, gauge, and set forth!

The following are the basic steps for installing your Roman blinds.

The first step in installing blinds is determining whether they will be mounted on the inside or the outside of the window. Installing blinds inside the window frame means they will cover just the glass while mounting them outside the window frame means they will also cover the wall on each side of the opening. This will not only determine how your window is installed but also how the room looks. But ultimately, the decision rests with you.

We need to take some measures right now. If you want to install it inside the window, take measurements at the top, center, and bottom. You need to be exact and verify your measurements twice to get the appropriate size. This is crucial since it can affect how well your Roman blinds work. If the blind is too large, it won’t fit inside the window frame; if it’s too small, it won’t cover the entire window and will leave the glass unprotected. If you’re doing an internal mount, jot down the narrowest dimension. Consider the window’s length when calculating the size of the blind. If you want to install it on the exterior of the wall, you’ll need to take measurements on both the inside and the outside of the window frame. Here, you can pick the width of your Roman blind by adjusting the distance between the brackets.

You should always take the necessary measurements and buy the blind based on those numbers.

The blind’s mounting brackets must now be attached to the wall. Check that the top of the window frame does not touch the blind when it is raised or lowered and that there are no obstructions in the way while mounting the blind either inside or outside the window. Insert 2-inch wood screws into the brackets and the window frame (for an inside mount) or toggle bolts, wall anchors, or fastener screws into the wall (for an exterior mount).
Once you’re done installing the Roman blind, make sure it works properly by lowering and raising it using the cord. You can stop worrying about setting up now.
