Size not only includes its length and width, but also the extra length by which you would like the blind to hang below the base of the window.  While taking measurements, follow the golden rule of measuring twice and cutting once, meaning measure the length or width once, take down the figure and measure once again to check and ensure that you have the right measurements. The length be measure between the topmost and the bottommost points of the window and width is the distance between the two walls of the window, from left to right.
