This is a very contentious issue in my household.
Should blinds be closed down or up bottom floor.
I ve ordered 10 sets of blinds from them over the years.
Just standard tho not the half open feature.
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.
They should be spaced evenly apart and 4 inches from the end.
Place a mark on the wall where the headrail should go.
A good window treatment adds style.
What you could do is put up two shades.
Vibrant prints and solids roman shades rooms that get full morning or afternoon sun.
With the blinds tilted up passers by can t see in.
So far they still go up and down without a problem but i don t use them every day.
Yes the truth is the desire to bring elegance to your décor.
First floor rooms and ground level apartments.
Yes i have two of them in my sons room.
The convex side faces the window creating less space through which to view.
The real question is how blinds should be closed concave side facing in or out.
Top down bottom up blinds let you block out.
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.
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.
The truth about top down bottom up blinds.
These upscale treatments may cost more up front but they can actually increase the value of your home in the long run.
The truth is to make your shade flow with everything else in the room.
The bottom rail should be at least 2 1 4 inches from the floor and 1 7 8 inches from the window sill.
When choosing blinds or indoor shutters splurge for wood or faux wood varieties with wide slats.
Tilt them down and the blinds look softer and arguably better.
Sometimes i ll open the shade above my a c as the a c will block the view into my room from the street.
You say if i get all those 3 things right and i will have complete top down bottom up blinds.
I say it depends.
Mark the bracket positions on the bottom of the headrail with a pencil.
I keep the shades closed for the most part.
