Modernize Your Home with Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades

There are so many different ways to modernize your home. A great place to start is by evaluating the functionality and look of your window treatments at home: Are they serving your needs the way they should? Do they add a modern flair to your living space? Could they utilize a different operating system for a cleaner look?

Here at North County Blinds, we would love to help you find new custom Hunter Douglas window treatments that go beyond the basic look and really showcase the best modern features. A fantastic starting point is learning more about our top down/bottom up shades and how they can create a modern look, feel, and performance in your home.

What Exactly Do You Mean by “Modernize?”

The word modern can have an abundance of meanings in different contexts. In terms of interior design, modern typically means sleek and uncluttered—it is a design approach that reflects a fuss-free living space. Modern design emphasizes clean lines, minimal decor free from clutter, and the use of industrial materials with few patterns and an emphasis on texture.

In the world of window treatments, modernizing means utilizing window shades that illustrate functionality, beautiful design elements, and convenient operation. This approach encompasses many different window treatment options that we offer from Hunter Douglas, but for us, top-down/bottom-up window treatments encapsulate the very best offerings of modern design.

What Is a Top-Down/Bottom-Up Window Treatment?

In the simplest of terms, a top-down/bottom-up window treatment is one that can be positioned in the desired manner for the homeowner, either from the top or from the bottom of the window, leaving a controlled amount of space uncovered by the window treatment. These types of shades allow for you to enjoy both privacy and controlled, angled entry of natural light in your home.

This type of window shade provides a number of benefits and added safety features for your home. Not only is this the ideal treatment for homes with pets and small children, but it’s also a fantastic way to utilize natural light in your home without having to compromise your privacy.
