The next two areas of confusion are measuring and installing. Measuring your blinds is easy. My advice is to go to You Tube and search for "measuring for blinds and shades." There are numerous helpful and simple videos that will walk you through the process. It only takes a few minutes. Installing window treatments also seems to get a bad rap. But it is much easier than you think. I was told once that if you can hang a mirror than you can install blinds. Again, I advice that you read the instructions that come with your purchase and make sure you have a few very basic tools like a screwdriver, preferably an electric screwdriver, to save your wrists. All the other parts come from the manufacturer. There are also videos on the internet that will help guide you through this process.

The last issue and point of confusion is understanding the available options. The most common option is top down/bottom up. This is a privacy option common for bathroom and bedroom windows, wherein the shade can be closed but you can let the top portion of the window down so that you let in light but people can peer into your room. Or, you can lift the bottom portion up when you just want to let in light. This is a common option for all types of shades liked pleated shades and roman shades.
