Made to measure wood blinds fit in most rooms and make a great window covering.
If you aren't used to fitting wood blinds then it can take you a while to work out how to fit them. Even though it is relatively straight forward I know from experience that plenty of people get it wrong, especially the first time they fit them.
Before you start drilling, you should chek the blind for damage, and remove any obstacles from the window, including vases, photo frames etc.
Then make sure the fixing position is sound - you should really have done this when you measured so I'll assume your wall / window frame is solid enough to take the weight of the blind.
To make sure I get the brackets level, I use a ruler and measure where I want the brackets to be. I hold them in place and mark the holes with a pencil. If you have tiles then I recommend you buy a special drill bit for tile cutting - they are available from most DIY shops. A good tip is to push the rawl plug up behind the tile, so that when the screw bites it is not pushing out the tile.
Screw the brackets up and make sure they are sturdy. Brackets for wooden blinds are usually a box type of affair with a door that closes and secures the blind into position when you snap it shut.
To cover the metal rail at the top of the wooden blind you should be supplied with a pelmet. The wooden valance will be held in place with either plastic clips or velcro.
The blind slots into the brackets and you are about done. All you need to do is attach the valance which should complete the look and hopefully cover any gaps at the side of the head rail as well as the metal headrail itself.Some wooden venetain blinds are supplied with velcro to fix the pelmet / valance and some use plastic clips which are much more secure - so that is our preferred choice.
Before you pack everything away, make sure the blind works okay. If it does, and all of the slats tilt then congratulations - you have finished.
