Combine Natural Light and Privacy with a Top-Down/Bottom-Up System

No matter your current window treatment, you must choose between maintaining your privacy and allowing natural light into your home. Luckily, we have the perfect solution that will let you have both at Joann’s Interiors: a Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shade system. These shades will enable you to position your window treatment with an intentional gap either at the top or the bottom, allowing you to let a controlled amount of natural light into your living space while maintaining a covered portion of the window for your privacy and convenience.

Top-Down/Bottom-Up: The Perfect Hybrid

It’s not often or expected to find a window treatment that creates the perfect hybrid, but we stand behind our Hunter Douglas top-down/bottom-up catalog and believe it makes the best of both worlds for homeowners.

Many homeowners are forced to prioritize their want for privacy and need for natural light when choosing a new window covering. Top-Down/Bottom-Up Hunter Douglas systems allow you as a homeowner to meet these needs simultaneously.

With top-down/bottom-up shades, you can position your shades to cover the bottom portion of your window, leaving an open space at the top for natural light, or vice versa: you can have the bottom open and uncovered and the top covered entirely. Every room and ambiance might call for different needs, and this style of shade allows you to cover what you need to and leave space for natural light to pour into your room and open the perfect-sized space for your gorgeous outdoor view.

Several Window Treatment Options Available

There are several different window treatment options available with our top-down/bottom-up system. Within our Hunter Douglas product catalog, we can offer you shade options in every possible style, shape, or function you’re looking for. Some of the primary shade options available with a top-down/bottom-up system are Duette® Cellular ShadesVignette® Roman ShadesSolera® Roman ShadesAlustra® Woven Textures® Shades, and Provenance® Woven Wood Shades.

Our Top Choice: Duette® Cellular Shades

A fantastic option that will tick off all the boxes any homeowner is searching for are our Duette® Cellular Shades. These shades can be installed with a top-down/bottom-up system and boast many other benefits unparalleled by any other window treatment experience.

The shade features a honeycomb pattern that creates cells beneath the fabric that traps unwanted hot or cold air at your window before it has the chance to alter your interior temperature. This feature makes our Duette® line the most energy - efficient shade on the market. This feature is evergreen and works all year round, but it comes in especially handy during those intense Florida summers where it feels like your AC has to work especially hard. 

These cellular shades aren’t bulky, either. The exterior of your shade still creates a modern, clean line look and adds a subtle addition to your interior decor. You can also install these shades with an entirely cordless operation (with both manual or motorized operation options), which can help to reduce clutter further.
