Installing your Roman shade: what's in the box and how it goes up

Installation worries stop more orders than price does — and it is simpler than people expect. Here is what we tell every buyer who asks.

What's included with my shade?

Your shade comes with the chain mechanism and brackets, plus installation instructions — including a QR code that links to our installation video on YouTube. You need a drill, a pencil and about fifteen minutes.

How do I install it — inside or outside mount?

Our installation guide walks you through it step by step, and there is a video for outside-mount installation. The bracket clicks into the track — no wrestling with the fabric itself. If anything is unclear, write to us and we will help.

My shade isn't working right after install — what now?

Have a look at our troubleshooting guide — it covers the most common issues. If it is still not right, send us a photo or short video at our contact page and we will help you sort it out.

Which mechanism should I pick before ordering?

The child-safe chain is our standard and the easiest to live with. Cordless keeps the window bare of hardware but gets heavy to lift on very wide or tall shades — for those we recommend chain or a motorized lift with remote and schedule.
