Outside Mount Shades

Outside mounting is the solution when inside mounting isn't possible—or when you want to make a deliberate design statement. By installing the shade on the wall or ceiling above the window, rather than inside the recess, you gain several advantages: zero light leaks around the edges, the ability to cover windows with shallow or obstructed recesses, and the optical illusion of a larger, more substantial window. Our Outside Mount Shades collection spans every product category: roller shades, roman shades, cellular shades, zebra shades, and sheer shades. We offer extended brackets that project the shade forward to clear handles and cranks, and extra‑wide fabric coverage that overlaps the window opening by 2‑4 inches on each side. Decorative valances, cassettes, and cornices are available to conceal the headrail and complete the built‑in look. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions. When inside mount won't work, outside mount elevates.
