Can I change my blinds myself?
Yes, replacing your blinds yourself is a relatively simple DIY task that can save you money on professional installation. When you order our blinds online, you’ll receive all the bracket and cassette parts required, and you’ll have access to our detailed fitting instructions for each blind type.
When changing your blinds yourself, here are some tips and recommendations:
- Get the right tools at the ready – For most of our blinds, you’ll need a screwdriver, a drill, a tape measure and a pencil to get the job done.
- Measure accurately before buying – As well as fitting guides, we also have guides on how to measure for your blinds so that you know they’ll fit before making a purchase.
- Remove your old blinds carefully – You’ll no doubt need to remove old blinds, so it’s important to carefully unscrew any existing brackets to make way for your new blinds.
- Opt for no-drill options – If you’re not confident or don’t have a drill, our Perfect Fit blinds insert and click into your existing window frame without the need for drilling.
Most companies will add a hefty cost for the installation of their blinds, but as we’ve hopefully highlighted above, you can easily save on that cost by putting up your blinds yourself.
