USA buyer's guide · 5 top stores compared

Window shades that open from the top. Sunlight without sacrificing privacy.

Two windows with woven shades. Left: a regular shade raised from the bottom, so the view is open at eye level. Right: a top-down bottom-up shade lowered from the top, so sky shows above and the lower window stays covered.Regular shadeopen at eye levelTop-downsky in up topPrivacy keptlower window covered

Why people choose top-down bottom-up shades

Lower the shade from the top. Sunlight pours in up high, while the lower window, the part people can see into, stays covered. Some people call them upside down blinds.

  • Privacy where people look

    The fabric covers the lower window, the part people can see into.

  • Daylight all day

    Sky light comes in over everyone’s head. No more dark rooms at noon.

  • Made for street-facing rooms

    Ground floors, sidewalks and close neighbors.

  • Less glare

    Block the low sun and keep the soft light from above.

  • Bathrooms and bedrooms

    Daylight while you shower or dress, without being seen.

  • Cordless options

    Move the rails by hand. Safer around kids and pets.
