Their natural textures, layered light control, and timeless aesthetic make them a perennial favourite for designers and homeowners alike. But getting the most out of these products starts long before they hang on the wall \u2014 it starts with a correct, confident installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to Install Inside Mount Bamboo Shades\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LO5ZEe_iNfk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide walks you through the full installation process, from verifying your components to mounting the bead chain tensioner safely.

The standard package includes 2 brackets, but wider shades require additional support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shades up to <strong>150 cm<\/strong> wide: 2 brackets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shades up to <strong>200 cm<\/strong> wide: 3 brackets (1 additional slot on headrail)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shades up to <strong>250 cm<\/strong> wide: 4 brackets (2 additional slots on headrail)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule, for every additional 50 cm in width beyond the base size, one extra bracket and the corresponding headrail slot are required. Skipping this step on wide shades is a leading cause of headrail sagging and premature hardware failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inside Mount Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside mount is the preferred method when the window recess is deep enough \u2014 a minimum depth of <strong>2\u00be inches (approximately 7 cm)<\/strong> is required for the headrail to sit flush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2014 Mark &amp; Drill Holes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hold the shade at your target height inside the window frame. Using the farmost point of the headrail slot as your reference, mark the bracket positions with a pencil. Position brackets <strong>1\u20132 inches inward from each end<\/strong> of the slot. Use a level to confirm your marks are even before drilling pilot holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2014 Place the Pegs (Wooden Frames)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For wooden window frames, insert the plastic pegs into the pre-drilled holes. This provides a stable anchor point without risk of splitting the timber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2014 Install Brackets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Align each bracket with its corresponding hole and secure using the supplied screws. Tighten firmly, but avoid over-torquing on softwood frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 \u2014 Secure the Shade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the front face of the shade facing you, lift and align the headrail with the bracket bolts. Insert the bolts through the headrail slot, then tighten the wing nuts securely by hand until the shade is held firmly in place without movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/xiomoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/woven-blog-juliebasil-beach-vibes-8rxqrkv0-1024x768.webp\" alt=\"woven blog juliebasil beach vibes 8rxqrkv0\" class=\"wp-image-3780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xiomooshades.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/woven-blog-juliebasil-beach-vibes-8rxqrkv0-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/xiomooshades.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/woven-blog-juliebasil-beach-vibes-8rxqrkv0-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/xiomooshades.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/woven-blog-juliebasil-beach-vibes-8rxqrkv0-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/xiomooshades.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/woven-blog-juliebasil-beach-vibes-8rxqrkv0-1536x1152.webp 1536w, https:\/\/xiomooshades.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/woven-blog-juliebasil-beach-vibes-8rxqrkv0-16x12.webp 16w, https:\/\/xiomooshades.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/woven-blog-juliebasil-beach-vibes-8rxqrkv0.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outside Mount Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside mount is used when the recess depth is insufficient, or when full light blockage at the frame edges is desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2014 Mark &amp; Drill Holes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hold the shade above the window opening at your desired height.
