Home Decorators Collection - Cordless Cellular Shades/Blinds - How to Install/Overview
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is an instructional video showing how to install the Home Decorators Collection Cordless Light Filtering Cellular Shades (from Home Depot) on the inside of the window openings. The video also includes the unboxing, how to measure your opening, and an overview of the product. The instructions included with the blinds were not very intuitive so I decided to make this video to help anyone who is struggling to get these installed. I'm not a professional and simply want to share my experience with the install. Hope this helps some other DIYers out there, thanks!

Sir, thank you so very very much. I did not catch that there was a front and back to the blinds. It was driving me crazy not having success attaching to the mounts. You saved my sanity and I was able to get the satisfying "click" and huzzzah! Thanks again!
I could not figure it out by the instructions in the box but your video explained it SO well. Success! Thank you.

Great video! You helped me immensely! Nicely done! Thanks… Mike
Thank you so much for this! I could not figure out the clips and was worried about tearing the shade. Success! Phew! 😉

You’re a lifesaver! Unfortunately I really messed up the *correct* front side of the shade by trying to force it in backwards. I had no idea the top of the shade had two different heights. 😅

I nearly made the same mistake installing the first shade. There was nothing in the instructions that specifically says there is a front and back. Literally the only indicator is the small diagrams in the instructions that show it. I'm glad this helped you out!
Very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you for the clear view of the instructions @7:05 and clarifying that the one side goes in first. This was the last set of blinds I put up and somehow the most difficult X-)
Thanks, i hate the clips, once i got it.. it was easy but getting to easy was a nightmare so youtube, your 12:31 video saved me.

Thanks for the installation video. They only come in 48" and 72" length. I got the custom cut width to 25" but need to shorten the pull down to 61". Is there a way to do that?
Thank you! Both my boxes did not come with instructions 😅 Edit: Nevermind they are inside the plastic wrapping!! 😂 BUT I already watched your vid and can install from that.

I hate the picture instructions!!! Thank you for your video. Now that you have yours all up, how about you take them down so we can see how do that?😊 I've tried a couple of ways and am afraid I'm going to break the shade.

How to remove an installed blind/sheer
@StephenLaGrange

I have not yet removed any of them. If I ever do I will be sure to update, thanks.
I have west facing windows that get lots of sun and I'm considering a similar setup to you to customize . Cordless top down shades with double curtain rod (sheer + blackout) on top. Does that generally work well for you? Is there a reason why you had the curtain rods so high up from the edge of the window?
@anujbhatia3337
11 ай бұрын
Based on another video it looks like hanging curtain rods 2-3 inches from the ceiling and wider than the window makes it look better. Which makes sense. Would still be interested in how the double curtain rod setup + shades are working for you 🙂
@StephenLaGrange
11 ай бұрын
Yep, we hung the curtains that way for the look. We really like the double curtain + shade setup. We use the cordless shades more often day to day. They provide privacy, but we also like the defused light coming in. The curtains/rod are still nice to have for the look and if they are closed with the shade closed you basically get a blackout effect. This setup gives you a lot of options and in my opinion looks a lot better than just having the cordless shades by themselves.

@@StephenLaGrange Thanks. I was thinking about getting the day/night shades. But the curtains + shade options seems more versatile. That's what I'll try out!
Do you have a video on how to restring this brand of blind?

No, I only installed the cordless version.
For everyone who installed these, how long did it take you?
@StephenLaGrange
6 ай бұрын
Once I figured out the process probably 10-15 min. per shade. Getting the clips installed properly is hardest and most time consuming part.

I think 10-15 per shade is exactly how long it took us, too. The second one went faster.

Day 3 trying to push them into the clips. We are 80 years old and this is crap.

They are tricky. It still takes some force to get them into the clips. I did notice some clipped in easier than others and it might have been because I had those mounts lined up better. Good luck!
