Clear, professional step-by-step instructions for every curtain and blind type β from measuring to hanging.
Suitable for traditional curtains, eyelet drapes, pinch pleat, and pencil pleat styles.
For inside mount: measure the exact width and height of the window recess at 3 points (top, middle, bottom). Use the narrowest width.
For outside mount: add 6β10 cm on each side of the window frame for optimal light blockage. Measure from desired rod position to floor or sill.
Hold the rod bracket against the wall at the desired height (typically 10β15 cm above the window frame). Mark screw holes with a pencil. Use a spirit level to ensure both brackets are perfectly horizontal. For rods over 150 cm, add a center support bracket.
Drill pilot holes at your marks. Insert wall anchors if you are not drilling into a stud. Screw brackets firmly into place and test they are secure by pulling down with moderate force.
Thread the curtain rod through the eyelet rings, rod pocket, or clip rings before placing on brackets. For pinch pleat, attach the hooks to the pleat tape first, then hang on the rod or track gliders.
Place the threaded rod onto the brackets and lock into position. Spread the curtains evenly across the rod. Adjust the heading pleats or eyelet spacing for an even, full look. The curtain should just touch or break slightly on the floor for a luxurious appearance.
Curtain fits within the window recess. Clean, minimal look. Best for deep window sills.
Rod extends beyond the frame. Makes windows appear larger. Best for blackout coverage.
Rod fixed to ceiling. Maximizes height illusion. Popular in hotels and modern interiors.
Works for standard roller, zebra (dual), and blackout roller blinds.
Inside mount: the blind sits within the window recess for a neat fit. Outside mount: bracket is fixed to the wall above the window for better light blockage. Measure accordingly.
Hold each bracket in position, mark screw locations, and drill pilot holes. Brackets should be level β use a spirit level. Standard roller blinds have a pin-end bracket (round) and a drive-end bracket (square/slotted).
Screw the brackets firmly to the wall or window frame. Insert wall plugs if needed. Ensure brackets are parallel and at the same depth to avoid the blind rolling at an angle.
Insert the pin end into the round bracket first, then push the drive end (the side with the chain) into the square bracket until it clicks. Most brackets have a snap-lock mechanism.
Pull the chain to lower and raise the blind. If the blind doesn't return properly, adjust the tension using the pin on the pin-end bracket β turn clockwise to increase tension.
For flat-fold, relaxed, and balloon roman shade styles.
The roman shade ships with a fabric-wrapped headrail or mounting board. For inside mount, place the board inside the window recess and mark bracket positions at each end. For outside mount, position 5 cm above the frame.
Screw the L-brackets or face-mount brackets into the ceiling/wall. Ensure they are level. Slide the headrail into the brackets and lock in place with the provided pins or screws.
If your shade is a corded style: thread the lift cords through the rings sewn into the fabric, up through the rings on the headrail, and through the cord lock. Tie an equalizer knot at the pull end.
Lower the shade fully and check that all horizontal folds are even. Adjust individual ring spacing if needed. Dress the folds by hand when first installing to train the fabric into clean pleats.

Follow steps 1β3 of the Roller Blind guide above. The brackets are identical β the difference is entirely in the tube motor replacing the manual spring or chain mechanism.
Wired motor: connect the motor lead to the power cable in the wall. Use the supplied terminal block connector. Battery motor: charge fully via USB-C before installation (approx. 4β6 hours).
Click the tube (with motor inside) into the brackets exactly as you would a standard roller. The motor end (heavier) goes into the drive bracket.
Download the Smart Life or Tuya Smart app. Power on the motor β the LED blinks. Open the app β Add Device β Curtain/Blind Motor β follow pairing instructions. Once paired, set upper and lower travel limits using the app calibration wizard.
Use the app to set the fully open (top) and fully closed (bottom) positions. Test multiple open/close cycles and adjust limits if the blind over- or under-travels. Enable schedules and voice commands as desired.
Perfect for renters, UPVC frames, or tiled splashbacks where drilling is not possible.
Wipe the window frame or wall area with isopropyl alcohol (70%). Allow to dry completely β at least 10 minutes. Remove any paint flakes, dust or silicone residue. The adhesive will not bond to wet or dirty surfaces.
Peel the backing from one side of the adhesive pad and attach to the bracket. Peel the second backing, position the bracket in place and press firmly for 30 seconds. Hold β do not slide the bracket once contact is made.
Allow 24 hours before hanging any weight. The adhesive reaches full strength after curing. In cold conditions (below 10Β°C), allow 48 hours.
Click or hang the blind onto the cured brackets. Test by applying gentle downward pressure before releasing the blind weight fully. Avoid pulling sideways on the blind when operating.
