WHAT ARE TOP DOWN BOTTOM UP SHADES

Top Down Bottom Up Shades allow you to lower the shade from the top or raise it from the bottom with two separate controls. This functionality helps you control your light and privacy levels by choosing whether you want light and visibility coming from the bottom or top of your window.

How to Choose Top Down Bottom Up Shades
Top Down Bottom Up Shades work well in spaces you want to fill with natural light from above, while maintaining a certain level of coverage from below by lowering the shade from the bottom, up. They may work well in bathrooms — allowing light to filter in from above — or in any living spaces where you’d like flexibility in privacy and light levels

How Top Down Bottom Up Shades Work
Different from traditional shades that lower only from the top down, Top Down Bottom Up Window Treatments can be lifted from the bottom and lowered from the top. The added ability to lift from the bottom allows you to maintain privacy with coverage along the lower part of your window, while still letting natural light in from the top. Top Down Bottom Up Shades function with a traditional cord pull method, a cordless design, or through added motorization.

Once you’ve decided which Top Down Bottom Up Shade style is right for your space, you can continue to customize your window treatments to your liking. First, you can select from hundreds of materials to coordinate with your home decor style, including favorites from our Designer Collections. You can also add finishes like Custom Cornices and Valances, and unique hardware to complete the look. Finally, you’ll select your control mechanism. While Top Down Bottom Up Roman Shades are only compatible with the classic corded control method, there are a couple ways you can upgrade your Cellular or Woven Wood custom window treatments:

Motorized Top Down Bottom Up Shades
Available for Cellular Shades and Woven Wood Shades, motorized Top Down Bottom Up Shades use motorization to put your window treatments into position using a remote control, app, or smart home system integration. Our advanced motorization systems use powerful and quiet motors with  battery and plug-in powering options to help you achieve light control and privacy, effortlessly.

Cordless Top Down Bottom Up Shades
Available for Top Down Bottom Up Cellular Shades and Woven Wood Shades cordless control offers a modern way to position your window treatment without the hassle and tangle of cords and strings. Instead, cordless control uses a tension mechanism to adjust your window treatment with ease. Cordless control also offers the comfort of a ‘Best for Kids’ certification for peace of mind in high-traffic family gathering spaces. Please note, while not used to position your window treatments, cords will still be visible when opened from the top down.
