Choosing custom blinds or shades for your windows depends on the look you are going for, your lifestyle needs and the shape of your windows. For example, vertical shades are ideal for covering sliding glass doors or large windows. Authentic wood blinds made with North American basswood can add a warm and natural focal point to the room, while basic faux wood blinds blend into the background and are low maintenance.

While blinds are available in a number of standard sizes, they don’t always fit all window sizes and shapes. Custom blinds are a great solution for getting the perfect fit as well as the look and functionality you need such as motorization, remote control operation and more.

Getting the right fit begins with accurate measurements, which vary depending on whether you prefer an inside mount, outside mount or whether you’re switching from one to the other. Those measurements are used to cut, order or fabricate the blinds to fit your windows.

First, decide if you want to mount your blinds on the inside of the window frame or on the outside of the frame. Then, measure the length and width of each window from either the inside of the frame (for an inside mount) or the outside of the frame (for an outside mount.) Use these measurements to order the correct size blinds.

Here are some tips for installing your new blinds:

• Find out what type of surface you’ll be mounting into, such as drywall or concrete, and make sure you have the right installation hardware, such as anchors.
• You’ll also want to have a level handy to make sure the blinds are hung straight and level.
  
  

Can we help? With Home Depot’s Blinds Installation service, we provide professional measurement and installation of your new window treatments and make sure they are sized and hung correctly.

If a window isn’t square or has a shallow window frame, an outside mount is ideal for hanging blinds and shades. An inside mount provides a cleaner look and can be mounted as shallow or deep as you prefer.

We recommend regular light dusting or vacuuming to keep your window treatments clean. If you vacuum your product, be sure to use the brush attachment and vertical strokes in order to carefully clean your blinds or shades. If you need to spot clean your window treatments, we recommend a mild detergent and a clean, white cloth.

Blinds and shades provide different looks and ambiance for your room.

Blinds offer a vertical or horizontal option in a variety of materials from wood to vinyl. Blinds also tend to provide better light control and privacy, as they are a hard window treatment,

Shades are a soft window treatment that come in an array of colors, fabrics and designs. They also provide natural lighting for your room and offer an additional design element to tie in with decor.
