How to Mount Blinds Like an Interior Designer — 5 Tricks That Elevate This Window Dressing in Any Modern Home

Modern living room with bamboo blinds, a white sofa with caramel and black throw pillows, an eames lounge chair, a square coffee table and side table, an armchair with a sheepskin, a pedestal with a vase styled on top, and a jute rug on the floor.

So, you’ve figured out the style of blind you’d like, picked out the color, and decided on the pattern. Now what? According to experts, it's time for the most important part — finding out how to mount blinds like an interior designer.

“Placement transforms blinds from an afterthought into an intentional design element that elevates the entire room,” explains interior designer Nina Lichtenstein. “Mounting plays a major role because it controls proportion, sightlines, and the way your eye reads the architecture. A few inches higher or wider can make the difference between blinds that look like they’re simply ‘covering a window’ and blinds that make the window and the room feel larger, taller, and more tailored," she adds.
