Home Decorators Collection - Cordless Cellular Shades/Blinds - How to Install/Overview
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!

This is a review of the Zuru Fidget Spinner by Antsy Labs that I purchased at Target. Antsy Labs is the company that created the original fidget cube.
Fantastic video thanks bro❤❤❤
Thank you so much.
We had this flooring installed in 2/2/2023 and it is not scratch resistant, and coming apart at the seams.
Thank you dude. HD's video for this was trash. You saved me a bunch of headache.
OMG dude! THANK YOU for pointing put the difference in rail sides on the blind! I thought i was loosing my mind? The instructions really DO NOT make that very clear at ALL.
Thank you! Not very obvious. You solved the install problem for me.
You're welcome!
You explained it the best.
Thank you!
Wish I had seen this video A couple of days ago😢 Didn't know you could lay the planks in reverse direction. I will be pulling up the flooring in my hallway and relaying it in reverse to get rid of my unsightly transition that I had to install
Those kind of transitions are the worst. I hope re-installing works better for you!
Thank you a million.yay🎉🎉
You're welcome!
😮
This was so helpful! And once I watch and you gave your tips, I was able to complete this without my husband! Woohoo! Thanks so much!!
That's awesome! Glad I could help!
Can’t he throw back end to clock in properly to save my life
This Video is amazing! So many great tips and lots of lessons learned along the way. I most definitely appreciate the cuts you had to do to make it fit for your stiars. I've also faced a few challenges along the way to make specific cuts to make it fit. Than you for making this video! :)
It's always a fun puzzle!
Thanks for the helpful advice. Finally a YT video that actually delivers useful info with no clickbait dramatic face. Just a guy hanging a shade and telling me how it's done. Again, thank you.
I have seen too many of those videos that don't actually show you anything useful, thanks!
Nice👍
How can I uninstall a Home Decorators Collection cordless cellular shade without damaging or removing the brackets?
I have not uninstalled any of them and I don't plan to. My advice is to do it very carefully.
Excellent video, thanks so much. I installed Lifeproof LVP in 1 room several months ago and had been putting off the next room because I was concerned about working backwards. Your instructions gave me the confidence to finish it all up. It really wasn't too different from installing the "correct" way. Thanks again!
You're welcome!
Thank you for this super helpful time saving tip!
You're welcome!
can someone please explain to me how to click it in. Ive watched it and tried to understand what i can be doing wronf , but still dont understand. :(
There is a point in the video when I show a close up of the top part of the shade clicking in. That is the point you need to apply the pressure to get it clicked in.
What wood to use for the riser?
For most of the risers I used a pre-primed product from Lowes. I don't remember what it was called, but it was sold as a stair riser board. Really any type of thin board will work for the riser. At the very top landing that had the premade nosing I used a standard 1x8 board that I cut to fit.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Revealing the notches are not the same size at the top solved the problem ! Flipped the blind around and easily clipped into the brackets after much frustration and consideration to just leave it hanging as is !
You're welcome!
Nice video, thank you. Could you please share the name of the Lifeproof LVP you used for the stairs? I found the following candidates: Fresh Oak, Hardeman Oak, Elk Wood, Essential Oak or ?
Thanks! I used the Lifeproof Fresh Oak.
That’s not backwards lol I need help reinstalling it completely backwards🤦🏻♀️
I'm pretty sure this is the only way it can be done and actually work.
That’s not backwards lol I need help reinstalling it completely backwards🤦🏻♀️
It's installed in reverse. I'm not sure how else you would do it?
thanks for video...I also had need to go reverse in a spare room and found it easier that I expected, just lay that first row all the way to end and then work across the room...just a little more work to get tongue into prior rows grove but not that hard
Exactly right!
Thank you. 👍👍👍👍
No problem 👍
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!
You are very welcome!
Great video! You helped me immensely! Nicely done! Thanks… Mike
Glad to hear it!
I tried doing it where I clamped the plank and bent the bullnose. Your way is much better where you clamp the bullnose and use the extra plank as leverage. Also I used a propane torch to heat it up quicker - a bit more risky but a few quick passes and it heats up well
Yeah, whatever works!
👍🏾well done sir!
🤙
Excellent Job and Information.......
Thanks and welcome!
Great tips, thank you!
You bet!
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-)
No problem! They can be a bear to install.
This is the best video for me. Do you mind sharing the vynil plank model number to be sure to get me exactly the same material ? Also, the color looks very similar to my floor. I would definitely will try your method.
Model # I96711LP. Thanks for the comment!
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?
I don't think there is any way to shorten the pull down length, but I'm not sure if that is really necessary. The shades are designed to stay bunched up at the bottom so as long as they are long enough to cover the window you should be good.
Thanks, great video. I m glad you pointed out that the corner to corner method was wrong. When I first started watching I was wondering "hmmm, maybe i should go corner to corner".:) Btw, it isn't a mistake for this (having to do a room in reverse) to happen, it happens often when you want a continuous floor from room to room and you have rooms on both sides of a hallway. The only way to avoid it is to have transition strips at the doorways, but the continuous way looks nicer. Also, you usually start in the hallway anyways to ensure that the lines are parallel to the walls. Because hallways are narrow, any skewedness in the planking is very obvious, whilest in a larger room it is harde to detect. If you start at the far side of a bedroom and work your way to the hallway, it is likely by the time you reach the hallway you will have some skewedness. Thus you start in the hallway and work into the bedrooms.
Yep, starting in the hallway is the best practice. Thanks for the comment!
Can u use the heat gun to remove the backing glue?
I never tried that, but its probably worth a shot.
If it is down glue vinyl plank 2 mm think bending is easier than a 5 mm and than a click vinyl plank and you can heat it from the top. Everything depends of the thickness of the material you’re bending.
Agreed!
Thank you. Very helpful 👍
Glad it helped!
What do you do about the top stair nosing tread if you take off the black backing piece? Isn't the height uneven next to the laminate on the top landing behind it?
Yes, I talk about this about 31:00 into the video. I left a thin strip of the backing attached to the back of that top landing plank so it would line up correctly with the next piece.
@@StephenLaGrange Ahhh yes, thanks. I did get to that part of the video eventually. I think the adding of enough glue would fill the gap left behind. Thanks, gonna try this method today on a top tread.
Video starts at 4:05
Nevermind, video starts at 5:30
Very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome!
What do you do at the top?
At the top landing? I covered that in the video, but that piece was bent and cut out differently so it would fit between the stringers. I also only removed part of the backing on that piece. I removed enough so it could be properly glued down, but left enough so the next landing piece (with backing) could be installed.
Also, how did you remove the backing?
I peeled it off by hand. It was a very slow and tedious process. I'm sure there is a better/faster way to do it.
I was with you until you put all those clamps directly on the face of the vinyl. Better would have been to use a piece of wood underneath those clamps. So, you removed the backing? What thickness is the vinyl?
Yeah, adding a piece of wood with the clamps is a good idea. I removed the backing so the plank could be glued directly to the stairs. If you don't there is a good chance that plank will come loose over time. I believe this Lifeproof plank is 7mm.
@@StephenLaGrange …. Thank you. That helps. Soon, I will be doing my stairs as well…🤠
Routing the inside of the fold is also a huge mess and aerosolizes a ton of vinyl which is not good to breathe in.
That is a good point!
Thank you so much for this! I could not figure out the clips and was worried about tearing the shade. Success! Phew! 😉
Glad I could help!
I’m going to try this! Client was appalled by the price of stair nose treads and I’ve been trying to find a solution to stay within budget! Nice
Good luck!
The number of times you said ummmmm was enough to drive me insane .. I couldnt even ummmm watch the whole ummm thing ummmm. You didnt even ummmm heat it ummmm near hot enough.. Do you ummmm talk like ummmmm that all the ummmm time?
Thats ummmmm something I need to work on, thanks.
Our box was missing the instructions, your video was clear and easy to follow. Thank you.
You're welcome!
