If you’re thinking about getting honeycomb, pleated, woven wood or roman shades, top-down bottom-up is an extremely popular option for light control and privacy. Learn more in this video by The Home Depot:
Top-down bottom-up provides additional light control benefits that a standard shade cannot offer. Since standard shades raise and lower from the bottom of the shade only, they’re limited in their ability to control light while maintaining privacy. The top-down bottom-up option helps overcome this limitation by allowing you to lower your shade from the top down, raise your shade from the bottom up, or a combination of both.
To maintain your privacy while allowing natural light to flow into your room, top-down bottom-up allows you to lower your shade from the top of your window down to the bottom. For blackout shades or any shades that do not allow light through the material, the option to control light is particularly beneficial because it allows you to have privacy during times that you also want to let light in.
Finally, the top-down bottom-up option helps make your room brighter and more stylish with a view to the sky outside.
