Pull Down Shades and You

When you talk about pull-down shades, many people think about roller shades, but in reality, they can also refer to almost any type of cordless window coverings. Associating pull-down shades to roller shades is understandable, though, since the roller shades made the pull-down function very popular. First, however, it has to be clear that it can also refer to other types of cordless blinds. 

In recent years, the popularity, use, and functionality of pull-down shades have increased massively. Gone are the days when users became limited to vinyl rollers that won’t stay put at a point and go straight to the top with a snap. Now you can operate your shade more quickly and efficiently with a simple pull or push. 

There are different pull-down shades that you can find in the market if you decide to cover your window with cordless shades or blinds. These are very stylish and high-quality window coverings that are safe for children, beautiful, and easy to handle. Here are a few of them:

Cordless solar and roller shades

Solar shades and roller shades are the 'fancier versions' of vinyl blinds that many people struggled with for many years. The roller shades are pull-down shades that come in varying colors and appearances. Depending on your preference, they also come in several styles, from neutrals to designer prints and blackout to light filtering. When these shades are raised, they tuck into a sleek small roll at the upper part of the window, making them perfect for minimalist spaces and clean design. Some roller shades are crafted with the sewn-in bottom bar to ensure that the hang is free of wrinkles and creases. Since it is a cordless control, you can lower or raise the shade with gentle pulls and pushes. These shades are made to be durable and long-lasting, so you’ll get your money’s worth even with frequent use. 

Cordless Roman shades

With Roman shades, you’re sure to add the softness of draperies to your windows, which comes with the operations and simplicity of a shade. In addition, some popular Roman shades styles, such as Cascade Roman Shades and Flat Roman Shades, can be remade to be cordless so that they pass as pull-down shades. 

Roman shades can be designed with hundreds of colors and materials. In addition, they can be customized with touches such as blackout or privacy linings and contrasting borders, depending on the needs of your room. Unlike the roller shades, the stack at the top of your window will be thicker with the Roman shade, but this also depends on the shade’s length (and the size of your window). However, if you want your glass to remain transparent, then you can count the Roman shades above your window frame outside instead of inside as usual. Like the cordless roller shades, you can lower or raise your Roman shade window covering with a push or pull from the bottom of the shade. 

Cordless woven wood shades

Again, we should have to mention that the woven wood shade is cordless since it is a common characteristic of pull-down shades. The woven wood pull-down shades are the perfect choice for you if you’re in tune with the woods’ richness and natural texture. These shades are constructed similarly to roman shades and rise to the top of the window to make a neat but noticeable stack. 

There are different woven wood shades, such as the standard shade of woven wood with matching valance to give a custom-tailored look. There’s also the Waterfall Wood Shade – in which the material falls forward from the headrail front. 

Cordless woven wood blinds are an exciting and effective choice of pull-down shades to give your room a natural look. Like other pull-down shades, it eliminates the cord used to lift the shades or pull them down. However, you still have to select a type of tilt to control the slat’s angle. Some of the options that you can find are cord tilt, motorized tilt, and wand tilt. 

Conclusion

At least, you’re sure your kids won’t be strangling themselves accidentally. They’re an excellent option for your home, taking away the sight of chain loops and cords and keeping your kids and pets safe.
