Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window! Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:
How to Measure:
Let's start with the Width:
Now, let's do the Height:
Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 1/4" to your shade's width to allow room for installation and for proper movement of the shade within the window opening. No deductions will be made to your height.
3 min read
Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 1 1/2" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets. The shade can be installed directly above the window opening, or higher up to give the appearance of a larger window and to have more clear space in the window when the shade is raised.
If you have trim around the window, you can mount the shade above the trim, directly on the trim (if you have the required minimum flat space for the brackets), or to the sides of the trim if you do not enough mounting space above the window or on the trim itself. See the directions below for how you'd like to install your shade.
If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product.

Custom Roman Shades Made for a Tailored Look
Custom roman shades bring a clean, tailored finish that feels right at home in both modern and traditional interiors, including traditional interiors that lean classic but still want updated performance. This fold style creates neat, structured panels when lowered, while soft pleats form as the shade stacks for a polished look at the top of the window frame. If you want timeless elegance with a refined texture, these roman shades are a strong choice for various rooms, including living rooms where clean lines matter. They also complement other window treatments well, so you can pair them with curtains to create depth and sophistication without overpowering the space.
Motorized Roman Shades for Effortless Everyday Operation
Motorized roman shades give you smooth, consistent movement for daily use, especially on hard-to-reach windows where manual adjustments are inconvenient. With cordless motorized options, you eliminate dangling cords and enhance safety while keeping the window area uncluttered. This setup also supports a perfect fit for your routine because you can set the shade where you want it, whether you prefer it slightly open or fully raised. If your goal is easier access and a more streamlined feel in the room, motorization helps the shade perform reliably without constant fussing.
Remote Control Convenience and Simple Light Control
Remote operation provides unparalleled control over privacy and brightness, helping you manage light control without leaving your seat. It is easy to control light for glare reduction during the day and comfort at night, especially when you are coordinating coverage across the same space. If you are styling a room with layered curtains, remote positioning helps you keep the overall look intentional rather than messy. This level of control is practical in busy homes, but it also supports a more curated design by keeping the shade aligned and consistent.
Light Filtering Options That Help You Control Light Naturally
Light filtering is ideal when you want natural light to brighten the room without harsh glare. It creates a soft, neutral tone that looks balanced from the street side while still improving comfort indoors. A light filtering liner is standard and provides excellent privacy for your windows. For bedrooms or media setups, room darkening is the better fit, and it can be especially helpful when you want predictable shade coverage in the morning or during daytime naps. Simply select the room darkening blackout liner when customizing your shade. If your design plan includes room darkening linen curtains, you can still keep the shade in a light-filtering setup and use the curtains to adjust the overall mood as needed.
Energy Efficient Performance for Comfortable Interiors
Custom Roman shades can support energy-efficient comfort when paired with the right liners and fit, helping manage solar heat gain in sunny windows and preventing solar heat gain from overheating the room. In hot climates, this can help keep interiors cooler and reduce energy consumption over time. In cold climates, the right setup helps block cold drafts and limit cold drafts around the window frame, which can contribute to lower energy bills. This kind of performance comes from a combination of materials, fit, and how consistently the shade is used, so day-to-day operation matters for overall energy consumption.
Inside Mount Guidance and How to Measure Width
For an inside mount, accurate measuring helps you achieve a cleaner look and smoother operation. Measure the width at three points inside the window frame and use the narrowest measurement to support a proper fit, then confirm the bracket size requirements based on the product specs and your window depth. Also, measure the height carefully so the finished length looks even across multiple windows, since different heights can change how the shade stacks and where the soft pleats land. For care after installation, dust regularly and spot clean gently with mild detergent when needed to preserve the look and texture of the material over time.
FAQ
Are roman blinds a good choice for modern and traditional rooms?
Yes. Roman blinds work well across modern and traditional rooms because the look is clean, tailored, and easy to coordinate with other window treatments. Many homeowners choose custom Roman shades when they want a precise fit and a refined finish that feels intentional in living rooms and bedrooms alike. If you are blending aesthetics across an open space, custom Roman shades can complement curtains and upholstered furniture while keeping the overall style cohesive. Fabric choices like linen can add an elegant texture and a bit more sophistication without overpowering the room.
How does a flat fold design differ from other roman shade styles?
Flat-fold type of style creates a smoother front when lowered, while other roman shades use structured pleats that form more visible sections. With plain fold styles, pleats add dimension as the shade stacks, which can look especially polished when you want a classic finish. If you prefer uninterrupted patterns, flat fold can be a better match, but if you want more depth and a traditional look, pleated roman shades offer that structured character. Either way, choosing the right length helps the shade sit neatly at the window and keeps the folds looking consistent.
What are the benefits of choosing motorized shades for everyday use?
Motorized Premium Plain Fold Roman Shades make daily adjustments simple, especially on hard-to-reach windows or in busy spaces where you want quick control. Motorized premium plain fold roman shades give you a cordless setup that looks cleaner, avoids dangling cords, and helps keep the window area safer for families. They also give consistent positioning for better light control, including when you want to shift between natural light and room darkening needs. Since the motors have a rechargeable battery inside with an accessible port for the charging cord, there is no especially wiring required making installation a breeze. Ordering free samples can make it easier to pick a fabric and color that match your space.

Why did I not get any installation brackets with my Roman shades that are motorized
Asked by Sandra ·
Hi Sandra, we're sorry you didn't receive the installation brackets with your shades. We'd be happy to look into this and make sure you have what you need to complete the installation. A member of our customer service team will be reaching out to you to assist further.
Answered by Blindster ·
When you get the motorized shades can they all communicate on one channel? Or do you have to lower them individually?
Asked by Carrie E ·
Hi Carrie, there is a "copy cat" channel that can control all the shades at once and is used during programming. Unless you specify otherwise, we typically set all shades to one channel so you can decide how you want to operate each one. Channel 1 usually controls all shades.

Do you have top down bottom up Roman shades?
Asked by Timothy M ·
Hello Timothy, thank you for reaching out! We do not have the top down bottom up available in a motorized lift. However, the LEVOLOR brand that we offer does have a Cordless Top Down Bottom Up operation where you would manually lift and lower the shade. https://www.blindster.com/shades/roman-shades/levolor-plain-fold-roman?c=Designer%20Textures%20-%20Mink
