EASY: Horizontal Blinds (faux wood, real wood, and mini blinds) and shades like cellular shades, pleated shades and roman shades are some of the easiest to install, taking 5-10 minutes per window. They are easy enough for a DIY beginner to complete themselves since they need only a few screws (and a screwdriver).

All in all we spent roughly $1500 on installing roller shades throughout the house. This was less than a third of the cost of professional installation, and far more inline with our overall budget. And in my opinion, the quality far outweighs the investment.

Snap in the blinds Pop the end caps onto the top rail of the blinds, then place the top rail into the brackets. The blinds shown here snap right onto the brackets. With some blinds, the top rail fits into the brackets and you snap down a little flap.
