Buying custom blinds online is convenient, but a few avoidable mistakes can cause fit or installation problems.
1. Measuring Only Once
For inside mounts, take three widths and three heights.
2. Recording Height Before Width
Keep measurements consistent: width first, then height.
3. Using the Largest Inside-Mount Measurement
Use the smallest measurement for inside mounts.
4. Ignoring Window Depth
Confirm the frame has enough depth for brackets and the cassette.
5. Forgetting Handles
Check cranks, locks, and patio-door handles for interference.
6. Choosing the Wrong Fabric
Match light-filtering or blackout fabric to the room.
7. Skipping Motorization Planning
Decide on motorization before ordering.
8. Ignoring Shipping Terms
Check oversize and delivery rules before checkout.
Use our measuring guide before ordering.
