Helpful Hints to Measure for Window Treatments
measure window treatments
  • Visualize the windows you want to create. Keep in mind both your aesthetic wishes and your practical needs when you choose from vertical blinds, window shutters, cornices, and more.
  • The key to beautiful windows is to measure for window treatments accurately, so use a high-quality steel tape measure; never a wood or cloth tape measure.
  • For inside-mount blinds, give exact measurements, deductions for fit will be taken at the Next Day Blinds' factory.
  • For each shade, note the width measurement first, then the height. To ensure accuracy, measure window treatments width-first (we will take your orders width-first).

  • For inside-mount blinds, measure for window treatments at the top, middle, and bottom of each window frame and give us the narrowest measurement, rounded down to 1/8". When you measure for window treatments, remember to account for locks, knobs, and other hardware that can affect the way blinds and window shutters will hang.

  • For windows that allow for inside-mount, compare the frame depths to the depth chart to be sure the blind will fit. Each blind, shade & shutter require different depths.

  • Be sure to label each window treatment ("Kitchen", "Bedroom", etc.) in the Next Day Blinds shopping cart.
