Choosing the things that we put into our home’s interior may be one of the most enjoyable things to do in life. There’s just something about putting things in order that is satisfying and makes you feel good about yourself. And it is not just about aesthetic as you also need to make sure that the things you are putting are functional. For example, blinds for your windows are something that you can style, but at the same time, you have got to make sure that it actually works the way you want it to be. One way of doing that is to make sure that you measure it correctly so it can fit perfectly. You don’t want to get something that is too small and too large for your windows. Otherwise, it defeats the whole purpose. If you are doing it for yourself, you will certainly need to do prior research to make sure that you do it correctly.
Here are 3 tips to measuring for new blinds.
- Find made to measure blinds.
The easiest and probably the best way to get the exact measurements for your blinds is to find shops that do made to measure blinds. This way, you will be able to save time finding the right measurement for your blinds. Made to measure blinds will customize the blinds that you choose for your window and you’ll never have to worry if it fits or not. These shops will create your blinds according to the exact measurement that you provide or you want to be made. This is the best option especially if you are choosing blinds for multiple windows. You get to have a one-stop shop for everything.
- Decide where you want to hang it.
The key to measuring your blinds correctly is to decide first where you want to hang it. You can basically put it either inside the recess, flush fit or outside. Know what suits best in your interior so that you can start taking measurements right after that. You don’t want to ruin the overall look of your interior with the wrong measurement of your blinds. If your window has a recess, you can measure the fitting of the blind inside it or outside it. Again, you need to make sure it looks good in your interior. On the other hand, if your room does not have a recess, you can measure it right straight onto the wall and see how it fits.
- Always measure the middle and bottom of the window as well as the width at the top.
Sometimes, the window may not be exactly a square so you have to measure things correctly. Always measure the width at the top of your window including the bottom and middle of it. This way, you get the exact measurement for the blinds. Whether you are going to do it on your own in finding the blinds that will fit for your window or if you have it made by made to measure blinds, measuring everything is the best practice there is.
