I say it depends.
Should blinds be closed down or up bottom floor.
You say if i get all those 3 things right and i will have complete top down bottom up blinds.
Tilt them down and the blinds look softer and arguably better.
So far they still go up and down without a problem but i don t use them every day.
Top down bottom up blinds let you keep the bottom half closed where pedestrians could peer in and open the top half letting unfiltered light pour in.
This is a very contentious issue in my household.
Vibrant prints and solids roman shades rooms that get full morning or afternoon sun.
Top down bottom up blinds let you block out.
Blinds turned down it may make it easier for peeps to peep in.
Just standard tho not the half open feature.
Yes the truth is the desire to bring elegance to your décor.
Sometimes i ll open the shade above my a c as the a c will block the view into my room from the street.
The convex side faces the window creating less space through which to view.
What you could do is put up two shades.
First floor rooms and ground level apartments.
The truth is to make your shade flow with everything else in the room.
With the blinds tilted up passers by can t see in.
These upscale treatments may cost more up front but they can actually increase the value of your home in the long run.
One at the midpoint of the window to provide privacy and then a top shade that could be pulled down up to block or let in light.
I ve ordered 10 sets of blinds from them over the years.
They should be spaced evenly apart and 4 inches from the end.
Yes i have two of them in my sons room.
But a great window treatment becomes part of your home s architecture.
When choosing blinds or indoor shutters splurge for wood or faux wood varieties with wide slats.
The direction up or down to close blind slats is a matter of personal preference but if you want more privacy tilt them up with the rounded side facing out.
I keep the shades closed for the most part.
The truth about top down bottom up blinds.
The bottom rail should be at least 2 1 4 inches from the floor and 1 7 8 inches from the window sill.
A good window treatment adds style.
I don t see the point in those i have the double cellular 3 8 in charcoal.
