Venetian blinds are a popular window treatment that adds style and privacy to any room. However, over time, the cords that operate the blinds can become tangled or broken. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t worry! This article will guide you through the steps needed to redo the cords of your Venetian blinds, so they’ll be as good as new.

First, you’ll need to gather your supplies. You will need a Phillips screwdriver, scissors, replacement cords, and a cord condenser or cord lock. Cord condensers or cord locks are plastic components that help to keep the cords more organized and tangle-free. You can find them at most home improvement stores or online.

Next, you’ll need to remove the old cords from the blinds. To do this, you’ll need to remove the bottom rail of the blinds by unscrewing the screws on each end. Once the bottom rail is off, you can untie the knot that holds the old cord in place and pull it through each slat until it is removed from the blinds.

Now that the old cords are removed, it’s time to install the new cords. We recommend replacing all the cords at the same time to prevent having to re-do them later. Cut a piece of cord that is twice the length of the window, plus a foot or two extra for tying knots and attaching the cord condenser. Thread one end of the cord through each slat in the blind, securing it with a knot before moving on to the next slat.

Once all the cords are threaded, you’ll need to reattach the bottom rail. Before doing so, make sure all the cords are straight and untangled. Once you’re happy with the position of the cords, tie them off at the bottom rail with a knot, making sure to leave enough slack for the blinds to move up and down freely. If you are using a cord condenser, this is the point where you should attach it. The cord condenser will help to keep the cords organized and prevent any tangles from forming.

After the bottom rail is securely attached, you can test the blinds. Pull on the cords to make sure the blinds open and close smoothly. If they do not move smoothly, double-check the position of the cords to make sure they are not tangled or caught on any other parts of the blinds.

Lastly, you should trim any excess cord that you have left at the bottom of the blinds. We recommend leaving a little extra in case you need to adjust the cords later. However, you don’t want it to be so long that it becomes a tripping hazard or gets in the way when moving the blinds.

In conclusion, redoing the cords of Venetian blinds is a manageable task that can be accomplished with a few simple tools and some patience. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can have your blinds working like new in just a short amount of time. Not only will this save you money over buying new blinds, but it also gives you the satisfaction of accomplishing a DIY project.
