I want to get blinds, but they seem to short, about an inch into the width of the glass, but the next size is quite a few inches wider

Apparently you can only cut an inch off each end, and the sizes seem quite universal. And just to clarify, they are too small width wise.

Some of it will depend on how you want to mount your blinds. Some are inside the window casing , those usually have a narrow space on both sides of the window .
Some blinds are mounted on the outside and can cover the whole window .

@Repete The ones in the next room cover the whole window. I can understand having blinds that dont cover the frames of the window. But the ones i could order leave around an inch of the inside edges of the window exposed. I imagine it looking strange.

@curiouslady93 talk to someone at the store you plan on buying them from. Wait that’s what we use to do before on line shopping. I’m lost now 😂

@Repete @Repete I want a cheap one off ebay. My window is 44.5" and the blinds are 41.5"

@curiouslady93 I don’t think that’s going to work without gaps on the sides. That would be an inch and a half on each side but I have one question , have you got the blind or are you going by the dimensions on the package or internet.

@Repete Dimensions on the internet listing

@curiouslady93 it will probably be a little smaller than that in actually . Better if you could actually see it .
