If you’re not a professional contractor, put down the tools and step away from the window! Installation of your newly purchased blinds is better left to the professionals. A ‘Do-It-Yourself’ solution might sound appealing, but your lack of experience will end up costing you in the long run.
It’s not all your fault. The internet made you think you were capable. With a quick click over to Google and a few words typed into its search, you can bring up hundreds of pages telling you how to install your own blinds. You can even find YouTube videos showing you just how easy it is to follow these instructions. Their charming directions and perfect end results will convince you that you can put up binds in just an afternoon.
What they don’t show you is how it can go horribly wrong. Without the proper experience, knowledge, and tools, what starts as a Sunday afternoon chore can spiral quickly into a DIY disaster. It’s a popular phenomenon, as people mistakenly take on tasks and end up with something that barely resembles their goal. Whole websites have been devoted to these mess-ups, where people post their failed attempts at a supposedly simple online craft. These eye-sores are hilarious when they’re seen on your screen, but when it’s in your living room, it’s a different story. It’s hard to find the humour in poorly installed blinds when you know exactly how much time and money you wasted.
Putting in blinds can be an intricate process that depends upon the size of your windows and the kind of blind that you’ve chosen. This is why the instructions you’ve found online for generic blind installation won’t work – it takes into account none of your unique conditions. On top of that, you’ll need the right tools to do the job right. Measuring tape, levels, and a drill with the appropriate bits put you on track, but you need to know how to use them (correctly) to install blinds that are level and functional. If your windows are large and reach the ceiling, you’ll need a steady ladder to bear your weight. When any of these elements are off, you’re left with blinds that could potentially come falling down.
