Whether you choose horizontal or vertical blinds, choose between inside or outside mounting is important. Inside mounting resides inside the window casing and does not cover the border of the window whereas the outside mounting is fixed on the wall and covers the window border. This entirely depends upon the homeowner to select between inside or outside mounting.

Horizontal Blinds MeasurementFor an inside mount, take the measurement from the inside edge of the frame left to right. Next measure the top to bottom of the window and then from the middle. Whereas, if you want to install outside mount window, measure the desired edges of the shades or blinds on either side of the window. Most of the homeowners leave an extra 1 to 1.5 inch while taking the measurement. 

Vertical Blind Measurement
The use of vertical blinds is a common window treatment for sliders. If you prefer an inside mounting, measure the width inside, next measure the height from the left and right side of the window. whereas,  if you prefer outside mounting, start by measuring the width.
