Roman blinds outside window frame.
Mounting a roman shade outside the window frame requires 2 to 3 of wall above the top window trim.

You can install a new set of roman shades over the course of 3 or 4 hours.
Since outside window blinds do not have to fit within any parameters they provide more flexibility when choosing window treatments for your home.
Inside the window recess if you leave your blinds down most of the time then fitting inside the recess can be the smarter choice.
The outside recess position if positioned approx 100mm above the recess will give you a nice pelmet when the roman blind is in the up position minimising the loss of natural light and creating a tapestry effect when in the down position.
