Where can I find cheap blinds that instead of coming from the top of the window, come from the bottom?
Question:I am on the first floor of an apartment building, and I want to have my blinds open to get sunlight, but I don't want people looking in my window. If you can think of other solutions that is also cool.
Answers:
The type of shades you want are called "top down/bottom up" also known as duofold. These are usually available in the cellular (honeycombed) type blinds. The first site listed has some good examples although the pricing is a bit much. It at least gives you a starting point for Google / Yahoo searches.
A second alternative would be to use shutters on the lower halves of your windows. These can be painted or stained to match your decor. Most home improvement centers carry shutters in varying widths and heights.
Option 3 would be some type of window film applied to the glass. It can be decorative (see 2nd link) or frosted (link 3)
If you are a creative person, you could use gallery glass which is a thick liquid used to make "stained glass" designs on windows, mirrows, etc. (link 4)
Check out your local home improvement store. Most have knowledgeable staff to assist you. Good luck with whichever you choose.
JC Penney, Home Depot, Lowes, all sell them. You could also look for them online here:
