Benefits of outside mounted blinds:
Ceiling and window height increase:
Outside mounted blinds can be placed as low or high as you want – making windows seem much larger. If you hang blinds closer to the ceiling above the window, the ceiling will appear taller – and the space in turn appears larger.
Light blockage
Outside mounted blinds provide more light coverage than inside mounted blinds due to their increased coverage of the window and the frame. This makes them ideal for those concerned with sun protection.
Better for strange fit windows
Outside mounted blinds don’t need to fit into a window frame, making it easier to take measurements – and making them a more ideal choice for strangely or awkwardly shaped windows.
Best uses for outside mounted blinds:
Outside mounted blinds are ideal for those who want to hide window trims and for those with narrow windows with limited depth.
Inside mounted blind advantages include:
Clean appearance
Inside mounted blinds are installed within the window frame, providing a clean, neat, and polished appearance as the ends are positioned directly into the frame’s proportions.
Space saving
Inside mounted blinds save space inside your room and allow you to utilize your window sill for shelving or decor. Inside mounted blinds can also provide you the extra space ideal for window coverings in small rooms.
Best uses for inside mounted blinds:
Inside mounted blinds are ideal for those who want to mix and match different types of window coverings and who don’t want blind brackets to interfere with drapery rods or create a complicated appearance. They are also ideal for those who want to highlight the woodwork in window trims or frames.
