Install Your Brackets<\/h3>\n<p>Position your mounting brackets so they are flush and level with the top corners of your window frame. Ensure your brackets are evenly spaced. When you&#8217;re happy with the placement, mark each screw hole with a pencil against the wall. We recommend predrilling the holes on these pencil marks. Finally, move the brackets back into position and install them using the screws provided.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=syVg-i_S-OA\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodBrackets.jpg\" alt=\"close up details of how to mount and secure your faux wood brackets\" title=\"close up details of how to mount and secure your faux wood brackets\" width=\"600\" height=\"403\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25368 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodBrackets.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodBrackets-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodBrackets-450x302.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodBrackets-225x151.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodBrackets-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodBrackets-143x96.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodBrackets-150x101.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<h3>Step 4. Install Your Blinds<\/h3>\n<p>If you have any valance clips, attach them to the headrail before installing. Ensure the bracket covers on your mounted brackets are open. If the covers are open, slide the headrail in-between the brackets and push it back into place. Finally, close the bracket covers and ensure your faux wood blind is secure. Attach the remaining tilt wand and attach the valance to the clips. Raise and lower the blind slowly to ensure it functions properly.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodHeadrail.jpg\" alt=\"ensure your bracket covers are open and simply slide the headrail into place\" title=\"ensure your bracket covers are open and simply slide the headrail into place\" width=\"600\" height=\"235\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25367 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodHeadrail.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodHeadrail-300x118.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodHeadrail-450x176.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodHeadrail-225x88.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodHeadrail-20x8.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodHeadrail-245x96.jpg 245w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FauxWoodHeadrail-150x59.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<h3>Finishing Up<\/h3>\n<p>While testing your blind, try to ensure even movement between each slat. We also recommend testing for proper tension by stopping the blind in the middle of the window. Don&#8217;t forget to test the tilt wand, either! Tilt it up! Tilt it down! Any direction you want &#8211; they&#8217;re your blinds, now!
