TIP 1: When measuring the height of the window and comparing it to available sizes, going one size up is always a good idea.  The reason is if you measured a little off and got the exact length, it might be a bit short which defeats the purpose, but shades that are a little to long hide nicely stacked at the bottom.  This leads us to tip number 2.

TIP 2: The same rules apply for measuring the width of the window for the window shades.  If you measure just the width from edge to edge of the glass and don’t include any of the actual window trim you will end up with blinds that are to narrow and not wide enough.  A good rule of thumb is to include the width of the glass and window trim in the overall width measurement.  It will still fit nicely between the window casings.
