About Top-Down Bottom-Up Shades

Light from above, privacy below

With two rails, you can lower the top to bring in sky and sunshine while the bottom stays up for privacy, or raise the bottom to see out while the top stays closed. It is a favorite for baths, street-facing living rooms and ground-floor bedrooms.

Available in cellular, pleated, roller and woven styles, with cordless and motorized options. We help you choose the right fabric and layout for the window.

Two rails

How It Works

A middle rail moves up and down, so you choose where the fabric covers: from the top, from the bottom or somewhere in between.

Before and After

See the Difference

Drag the handle to compare. Photos are illustrative.

Before: A kitchen window over a sink with no covering, glare on the countertop and a view of the neighbors, white cabinets, a plant on the sill
After: The same kitchen, sink, cabinets and plant, now with crisp white faux wood blinds tilted partly open on the window, same angle and same light
BeforeAfter
Bare Kitchen Window to Moisture-Friendly BlindsA bare kitchen window with glare gained crisp white faux wood blinds that wipe clean.

Photos on this site are illustrative and show typical homes, rooms and windows, not completed Music City Blinds projects. Every window is measured and confirmed with a visit before treatments are made, and fabrics, colors and options depend on the manufacturer. Figures in our tools are planning estimates only.
