Outside mounting eliminates this entirely. The shade fabric extends \u003cstrong\u003e2–4 inches beyond the window opening\u003c\/strong\u003e on all sides, and the brackets mount directly to the wall. When lowered, the shade forms a complete seal against the wall surface. No gaps, no glow, no halo of light.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWindow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnlargement \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEffect\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy extending the shade beyond the trim, you \u003cstrong\u003evisually enlarge the window\u003c\/strong\u003e. This technique is especially effective for small or awkwardly placed windows, or when you want to create a more substantial architectural focal point. Choose a valance that matches the wall color to blur the boundaries even further. Designers often use outside mounts to make narrow windows appear wider and short windows appear taller.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eIdeal \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShallow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eObstructed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecesses\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome windows have recesses too shallow for inside‑mount hardware (less than \u003cstrong\u003e1.25 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e). Others have cranks, handles, or security bars that protrude into the opening. Outside mounting bypasses all of these obstacles. The shade mounts to the wall or ceiling above, clearing any obstructions.
