Roller Shades Outside Mount: On the trim or above the trim??

Hi guys,

We've had three different window covering companies give us totally different advice. We have two windows that need an outside mount, and we aren't sure if we should mount the shade on the window trim or above it. Any thoughts? The house is very contemporary with clean lines. (We did not choose the brown windows.....they were already here when we bought the house and too expensive to replace).

I've included pictures of both the windows.

Thanks!

    If the shades are for privacy, keep in mind the view that comes around the side of a shade. If your frame is wide enough, the angle of view will be cut down. I like to be sure I have at least 3 inches of frame that I can cover with the shade to be sure of privacy. Mount on the frame if you can and take note of what you can see from the sides of the shades.

    You gotta go inside mount. Either on the trim/ casing or above will not look very finished. Good Luck
