Tools and Materials You’ll Need
Before we dive into the steps on how to mount Roman shades window, let’s gather the necessary tools and materials:

- Mounting brackets (usually included with the shades)
- Screws and wall anchors
- Measuring tape
- Pencil
- Drill and drill bits

- Level
Step-by-Step Guide to Mounting Roman Shades
- Measure Your Windows
- Start by measuring the width and height of your window. This will ensure that your Roman window shades fit perfectly. Note that Roman shades can be mounted inside or outside the window frame, depending on your preference. For an inside mount, measure the inside width of the window frame. For an outside mount, measure the width you want the shades to cover, including any extra space for better light control.
- Mark the Mounting Bracket Positions
- Use a pencil to mark where the brackets will be installed. If you’re doing an inside mount, the brackets should be placed inside the window frame. For an outside mount, they should be positioned on the wall above the window. Ensure the marks are level to avoid crooked shades.
- Drill Pilot Holes
- With your drill, create pilot holes where you’ve marked the bracket positions. This makes it easier to screw in the brackets and helps prevent the wall from cracking.
- Install the Mounting Brackets
- Align the brackets with the pilot holes and secure them in place using screws. If you’re mounting into drywall, use wall anchors to ensure the brackets hold firmly.
- Attach the Roman Shades
- Once the brackets are securely mounted, it’s time to attach the Roman shades. Most Roman shades will have a headrail that fits into the brackets. Slide the headrail into the brackets and ensure it clicks into place. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific details on your shades.
- Test the Shades
- After installing the shades, test them to ensure they raise and lower smoothly. Make any necessary adjustments to the brackets or headrail to achieve a perfect fit.
- Finishing Touches
- Finally, give your Roman shades a gentle tug to make sure they’re securely attached. Adjust any cords or mechanisms as needed, and enjoy the new look of your windows!
