Blindsgalore Essential Top Down Bottom Up Woven Wood Shades
Why Choose this Shade?
- Maximum Light Flexibility: Solves the privacy vs. light dilemma. The Top Down Bottom Up (TDBU) design allows you to lower the top to let in natural light while keeping the bottom closed for street-level privacy.
- Our Best TDBU Value: The most budget-friendly way to get the designer look of a Top Down Bottom Up shade. This curated collection focuses on the essentials to give you the highest value for your project.
- Organic Simplicity: Tired of complicated choices? We’ve narrowed this collection down to 6 of our most popular, versatile colors, making it easier than ever to pick a shade that complements your existing decor.
- Safe & Effortless: Standard cordless operation provides a clean, clutter-free look. With no dangling cords, it is the safest choice for homes with children and pets.
- Eco-Conscious Charm: Handcrafted from renewable bamboo, reeds, and jute, these shades bring immediate organic warmth and character to any room.
- Best places to install: These shades are ideal for living rooms, kitchens, and sunrooms where you want natural texture and flexible light control.
How it Operates
- Cordless Top Down Bottom Up:
- The gold standard for versatility. Operate the shade from the top, the bottom, or both simultaneously to perfectly frame your view.
- Features two clear, low-profile grips—one on the top rail and one on the bottom—for easy, level adjustment.
- Raises in classic Roman folds for a timeless, tailored aesthetic.
- Safety First:
- Completely cordless design eliminates the risk of cord entanglement, making it 100% child and pet safe.
Materials & Construction
- Natural Open Weave: These shades are handcrafted from authentic bamboo, jute, and grasses. Please note that these shades do not include liners, providing a beautiful light-filtering effect with a natural "see-through" quality.
- Handcrafted Character: Because these are raw materials, expect slight variations in color, grain, and texture. No two shades are exactly alike, and the length may vary by 1/2" to 1" due to the natural stretch of the fibers.
- Finished Details: Every shade includes a matching 6" valance to conceal the operating mechanism. Outside mounts include valance returns for a professional side profile; inside mounts do not.
- Design Tip: For increased privacy or room-darkening needs, these shades are perfect for layering under drapes.

| Essential TDBU Selection | Sustainable Bamboo, Reeds, Jute, and Grasses |

How We Calculate Your Custom Fit
Give us your exact window opening size (for inside mounts) or the total area you want to cover (for outside mounts). Our factory handles all the math to make sure your shades fit and move smoothly.
Inside Mount Factory Deductions
(These are for your information; no math is required on your part!)
- Headrail: 3/8" narrower than the width you order
- Fabric Width: 3/8" narrower than the width you order
- Height: Due to nature of the materials, height may vary by +1/2" to 3/4"
Outside Mount Factory Deductions
- Headrail: Produced at the exact width you order
- Fabric Width: Produced at exact width you order

Will This Fit My Window?
Our window treatments are custom-crafted to fit a wide variety of spaces. If your window dimensions fall within the ranges listed below, you’re already halfway there! Next, we'll help you check your mounting space, which may vary depending on the style you choose.
Inside Mount Installation
Your window opening needs a minimum depth to hold the brackets. If your opening is deep enough, you can achieve a flush mount look where the treatment sits entirely inside the opening. Note: If your depth is between the minimum and flush requirements, your treatment will install securely but may stick out slightly from the window opening.
Outside Mount Installation
This installs on the wall or trim above your window. It’s ideal for total light control or your windows are too shallow for an inside mount. Ensure you have enough flat surface space to install the mounting brackets.
- Width 18" - 72"
- Height 36" - 72"
- Minimum inside-mount depth 2"
- Minimum flush-mount depth 2 1/2"
- Minimum outside-mount space 3/4"
- Headrail depth and height 2" x 3/4"
