Installing Venetian Blinds Outside Window Frame

Hi all,

Im looking to install some venetian blinds in my living area. Just looking to buy some ready made ones from spotlight. The issues I have with my windows is I have no arcitraves/window frame and my windows are not exactly square.

I have looked on websites and they have suggested to install them outside the window frame and to make allowance either side if you don't have arcitraves.

What do you all think? If you have any pics of venetians installed outside frame it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Mook,

Although I have archs, the Venetians in the kids' bedrooms are actually from our old house, and they just happened to fit the width of their new bedrooms (except they are just a tad long!). These are fitted to the archs, but are outside the window frame. This is the only pic I have of them and may not be much help...
