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.
WHY CHOOSE INSIDE MOUNT?
An inside-mounted blind or shade delivers a clean, finished look that’s perfect for highlighting beautiful window trim. Inside mount is also ideal if you have a deep sill that you use as a shelf for plants or objects. Inside mount works well when layering with drapes, because the mounting brackets won’t get in the way of the drapery rods.
WHY CHOOSE OUTSIDE MOUNT?
An outside-mounted window treatment is great for making a window look larger (you can hang the window treatment as high as you want) or hiding an unattractive trim. You don’t have to worry about blinds or shades fitting within the frame depth if you have shallow windows. When you raise your window treatment, you can take advantage of the entire view. When you close your blind or shade, it will cover the entire window.
