Outside Mount Roman Shades

Can You Mount Our Roman Shades Outside-Mount?

Yes, you can mount Roman shades outside-mount or inside-mount. At 3HLinen, we manufacture high-quality shades that fit both installation methods, giving you flexibility for your window treatment needs.

Benefits of Outside-Mount Roman Shades

Outside-mount Roman shades are a great choice for those looking to create the illusion of larger windows or cover window trim completely. By mounting Roman shades outside the window casing, you can achieve more light control and a stylish, tailored look. This option also works well for windows with minimal depth, where inside-mount shades may not fit properly.

When to Choose an Outside-Mounted Roman Shade

• If your window frame has limited depth
• To block more light and improve light filtering
• When covering unattractive window trim
• For maximum light blocking in media rooms or bedrooms
• If you need a solution for French doors or wide windows

Inside-Mount vs. Outside-Mount Shades

While inside-mount shades offer a sleek, built-in look, outside-mount shades provide greater flexibility. Outside-mounted Roman shades extend beyond the window frame, effectively covering gaps that might let in unwanted light. This makes them ideal for room darkening applications and improving privacy.

How to Mount Outside-Mount Shades

Installing outside-mount shades is simple. Just follow these steps:

1. Measure the width of your window plus additional space to ensure full coverage.
2. Mark the mounting brackets placement above the window surround or on the ceiling.
3. Secure the mounting brackets to the wall or ceiling.
4. Attach the shade securely and test for smooth operation.

Styles and Materials of Outside-Mounted Roman Shades

You can find a variety of shades to suit different styles. From woven wood shades for a natural look to modern Roman shades for contemporary interiors, you can find the perfect window treatment for your space. Our curtains and shades come in various designs, ensuring a fit for any room.

Do Roman Shades Look Better Inside or Outside Recess?

When it comes to shades, one of the most common questions homeowners ask is whether they look better mounted inside or outside the window recess. The great news is that the answer is yes — shades from 3HLinen can be mounted both inside and outside the window frame, giving you the flexibility to achieve the look and function that best suits your space. Whether you're considering a window treatment for your living room, bedroom, or any other room, understanding the differences between these mounting options can help you make the right decision.

Inside-Mount Roman Shades: A Sleek, Clean Look

Inside-mount Roman shades are a popular choice when you want a clean, sleek appearance that fits neatly within your window frame. This mounting option allows the blinds to sit just inside the window, often making the window itself the focal point of the space. With an inside mount, you benefit from a streamlined look that doesn’t distract from your wall or other room elements.

When you choose inside-mount shades, you’re also getting a more minimalistic style, perfect for modern interiors where subtlety matters. Window treatment installation for inside mounts is generally simpler, as the shades are installed directly within the recess, often without needing additional trim or hardware.

However, the depth of the window recess is an important factor to consider. If your window frame is too shallow, it might affect the installation of inside-mount shades. It’s essential to measure the width and depth of your window properly to ensure the shade fits correctly.

Outside-Mount Roman Shades: Full Coverage and a Bold Statement

For those looking to make a statement with their window treatment, outside-mount Roman shades are a fantastic option. Mounting Roman shades outside the window frame offers full coverage, extending beyond the window’s edges. This can be particularly beneficial if you’re looking to hide window imperfections or want to achieve a more dramatic effect with your shades.

Outside-mount Roman blinds are ideal for those seeking maximum light regulation. By installing outside-mount shades, you prevent light from seeping around the edges, creating a darker environment in your room. If you have a wide window box or multiple windows, outside-mount Roman shades can give your window treatment a cohesive, uninterrupted appearance across the entire space. 

Additionally, outside-mount Roman shades are a perfect choice if you want the shades to cover an entire window box or frame, especially in rooms with high ceilings. These shades can also make the window appear larger, especially when you opt for wide shades that reach from the top of the ceiling to the wall.

Why Choose Roman Shades for Your Window Treatment?

Roman shades are one of the most sought-after window treatments, offering a combination of style and practicality. Whether you choose inside-mount or outside-mount Roman shades, the shades themselves are made from high-quality fabric that can soften the light and add a touch of charm to any room. With a variety of fabrics, from woven wood shades to natural shades the modern collection effortlessly can suit both modern and classic interiors.

For those looking to combine function with design, Roman shades provide exceptional control over light and privacy. Their soft folds allow you to filter sunlight gently while also offering a sleek and elegant look that complements various room styles. Additionally, our shades are available in a wide range of colors and styles, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your living room and the rest of your home.

Do Roman Shades Look Good from Outside?

Roman shades are not only a stylish choice for interior decor, but they can also make a significant impact on the exterior look of your home. Whether you choose to mount shades inside or outside, Roman shades offer a unique blend of aesthetic appeal and functionality. If you're wondering whether our shades look good from the outside, the answer is a resounding yes. In fact, you can install our shades both inside and outside of your windows, and they’ll complement your home’s exterior just as beautifully as they do inside.

Why Outside-Mount Roman Shades Are a Great Option

When considering Roman shades for your windows, the question often arises: "Do Roman shades look good from the outside?" The short answer is yes—outside-mount Roman shades add a sleek, streamlined look to your home's exterior. Installing them outside your window allows for a better fit and a more finished appearance. Whether you are covering one window or multiple, our coverings can provide a polished look from both inside and outside.

One of the advantages of mounting shades on the outside is that they create a clean line, avoiding the bulky appearance that can sometimes come with inside-mount shades. The shades sit more flush against the wall or ceiling, creating a seamless look. This outside-mount option is especially useful for windows that may not have deep sills or when you want to achieve a more open and airy feel for the room.

What Are the Benefits of Using Roman Shades Outside?

When considering how Roman blinds look from the outside, one major benefit is their ability to block out sunlight effectively. The right fabric in your window coverings can help reduce glare, ensuring that your living room, bedroom, or any other room remains comfortable and functional. Whether you’re looking for roller shades to block out the sun or woven wood shades for a more natural look, you'll find that Roman blinds provide just the right amount of coverage.

By choosing shades with a trim that suits your taste, you can create a clean, uniform exterior appearance. Our shades can be installed on any window or door, including sliding doors, to keep your home cool and your privacy intact. The easy installation process ensures that you can enjoy these benefits quickly. Plus, with the right fabric, our window coverings provide a chic aesthetic to your windows without looking out of place.
