How to Open Blinds: step-by-step guide

Blinds let in light without opening the window.

  1. Find the cord or wand at the side of the blinds.

  2. To tilt the slats open, twist the wand or pull the thin cord.

  3. To raise the blinds, pull the lift cord straight down and toward the center.

  4. Stop at the height you want and let the cord lock in place.

  5. Tuck loose cords out of the way so nothing gets tangled.

See it first. Go with confidence.

Hi, I'm Iris! Tell me what you're looking for: a place to preview (like "Park Library" or "a dentist office"), a specific city (like "Lansing, MI" or "Petoskey, MI"), or a how-to video (like "tying shoes" or "self-checkout"), and I'll find it for you.

Or browse all tours or the video library.
