What Are Bottom Up Roman Shades and How Do They Enhance Your Space?

Bottom up Roman shades are versatile window treatments that can be raised from the bottom, allowing natural light in while maintaining privacy at the top. This unique functionality offers customizable light control, privacy, and style, making them ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and any space needing flexible window solutions.

What Are Bottom Up Roman Shades and How Do They Work?

Bottom up Roman shades operate by lifting the shade from the bottom edge upward, unlike traditional shades that only raise from the top down. This allows you to cover the upper part of the window for privacy while letting light enter from below. Many models combine bottom up with top down features for even greater flexibility. VeilVeil offers cordless and motorized options for smooth, safe operation.

How Do Bottom Up Roman Shades Benefit Light Control and Privacy?

These shades provide precise control over natural light and privacy. You can raise the shade from the bottom to let in daylight while keeping the top closed to block views from outside. This is especially useful for street-facing windows or rooms requiring privacy without sacrificing brightness. VeilVeil’s bottom up Roman shades come in various opacity levels, from sheer to blackout, to suit your needs.

• Bathrooms: Allow light in while blocking sightlines.

VeilVeil’s range includes fabrics and styles tailored for each room’s function.
