A carrier and spacer assembly for an architectural covering, such as a vertical Venetian blind, comprising a longitudinally-arrayed plurality of carriers that are slidably arranged for longitudinal movement along a longitudinally-extending tilt rod between open and closed positions. In the open position, the carriers are spaced apart along the tilt rod, and in the closed position, the carriers are adjacent to one another at a one end of the tilt rod. A mechanism is provided for pulling a first carrier along the tilt rod between the open and closed positions. A plurality of elongated spacers are disposed between the adjacent carriers, connecting them together along the tilt rod. Each spacer includes a leading end portion which extends towards the open position and engages a carrier and a trailing end portion which extends towards the closed position and engages an adjacent carrier. The trailing end portion of each spacer is longitudinally overlapped by the leading end portion of the adjacent spacer, wherein the leading end portion of each spacer contacts a carrier laterally farther from the tilt rod than its trailing end portion contacts an adjacent carrier when the carriers and spacers are moved longitudinally towards the open position.
