Need help with blinds!

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

have these faux wood Levolor blinds. They let in too much light between the slats and along the sides. I don't know if there's any way to attach light blocking strips along the outside, or that only works only for deeper window sills. Is there a different type of similar looking blind that blacks out the light between the slats?

The blinds are attached at the head and when I lower them, they hit the lower window panel, so I have to pull them out with the other hand to fully lower them. I'm not sure if it should jut out further from the top to prevent this, or if I should just go for an outside mount.

I was thinking of getting blackout honeycomb shades. If I go for an outside mount, should I install on the molding or outside? If I install on the outside, how do I make sure that the blinds clear the molding? Should the blinds be lowerable to cover the lower molding?

Would it be best to get a single blind to cover both windows?

Any thoughts on using SelectBlinds vs blinds.com vs. Home Depot vs. Lowes?
