You use blinds to control the amount of light and privacy in a room by adjusting the slats and raising or lowering the entire blind.
Here's a breakdown of how to use standard cord lift and tilt control blinds:
- Tilting the Slats: Find the tilt cords (usually two cords hanging together). Pulling on either cord will angle the slats open or closed. Experiment to find the angle that provides the desired amount of light and privacy.
- Raising and Lowering the Blinds: Locate the lift cord. Pull the lift cord down at a slight angle. Then, move the cord back towards the side to lock the blinds in place at the desired height. To release the lock and lower the blinds, gently pull the cord towards the center of the blind and ease the blinds down.
It's important to be gentle when operating the cords to avoid damage.
