Hanging mini blinds does not have to be a challenging task that you keep putting off because you are not confident that you can get it done correctly. If you know what basic steps to take, this can be very easy. It may only take you ten minutes. You will love the way that the blinds make your home more functional, blocking the sun and giving you the privacy that you desire. This is something that you should do right away if these are things that you have been looking for in your home. You must begin by measuring the windows to make sure that the mini blinds will actually work in the space that you have. Remember that it is not such a bad thing if the blinds are slightly wider than the windows. They will overlap on the edges, but they will still look great and they will work perfectly. If they are too small, though, they will not be effective. They will look out of place and they will still allow blinding sunlight to get into the room. You need to measure the width of the windows, the distance between windows that are close to each other, and the distance from the top of the windows to the ceiling. Next, you have to hang up the brackets. These are different for all different types of blinds, but they should be fairly easy to hang. You will just want to make sure that you measure down from the ceiling before you put the first screw in either bracket. You need these to be hung at exactly the same height or the blinds will look very sloppy. It is much easier to measure down from the ceiling than it is to measure up from the floor. You also want to measure from the edges of the windows to make sure that you get the right spacing. Once the brackets are up, you have to attach the blinds themselves. Most of the time, they will just slide it with the help of a clip. Sometimes, you will need to screw them together. All blinds use a system that is very easy to understand.
