How close should the blinds be to the window?

How are blinds supposed to be situated in relation to the window?

The optimal distance between blinds and windows should be as close as possible between 25 and 50mm. This will allow for maximum privacy and control of light and will also increase the efficiency of energy use in your home.

There are a few variables that could influence the perfect distance between windows and blinds like:

• The kind of blinds that you own. Certain blinds, like Roman blinds, are more designed to be hung out of within the recess of your windows.
• The thickness of your window frame. If the window frame is thick it may be necessary to hang your blinds farther than the frame in order to give enough room for them to be operated.
• Your individual preferences. Certain people prefer greater space between their windows and blinds either for aesthetic reasons or to let more light into.

The best method to determine the best distance between windows and blinds is to test and discover the best solution for your needs.
