Top-down bottom-up blinds that open from the top, the bottom or both, so you can let in daylight while keeping the lower window private, ideal for street-level rooms, baths and bedrooms.
A top-down bottom-up blind lets you lower the top rail to bring in light while the bottom stays raised for privacy. It solves the problem of street-level windows and bathrooms. Homeowners in Nashville love them for living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms that face a sidewalk or neighbor.
These blinds have two moving rails. You can raise the bottom to open the lower part of the window, lower the top to open the upper part or do both. We explain the available materials, including wood, faux wood and cellular styles, and the cordless and motorized versions that keep the window tidy. We measure carefully, order the right size and install the headrail so both rails move smoothly. These blinds shine in rooms where light and privacy pull in different directions. Try a sample at your window and lower the top rail a few inches: sunlight pours in over the heads of passersby, and the lower window stays private. We also explain how the extra rail changes the look when the blind is fully raised, so there are no surprises.
The top and bottom rails move independently, so you can open the window from either end.
They suit privacy-sensitive rooms like baths, street-facing living rooms and ground-floor bedrooms.
Wood, faux wood and cellular styles are available, and each handles light and privacy differently.
Cord, cordless and motorized versions are available, and we explain which suits the window.
