Slide the top rail down to let daylight in over the shade while the lower part keeps the room private, or lift the bottom rail like a standard Roman shade. It works well on street-facing bedroom and living-room windows.

Velvet in a deep color blocks much of the light on its own, but pale colors glow on a sunny day. When the top rail is lowered, light comes in over the shade by design, so close it fully at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I measure for an inside mount?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure the inside width at the top, middle and bottom and enter the narrowest figure, to the nearest 1\/8 in. Do not subtract anything: the factory deducts 3\/8 in from the headrail. Measure height from the top of the opening to the sill. Sizes run 16–98 in wide and 14–119 in high. For an outside mount, enter the full area you want to cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Nocturne color should I pick?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVelvet can look slightly different in person than on a screen, because the pile catches light at different angles. Neutral tones such as Cashmere, Taupe and Gray Beige suit most rooms, while Midnight Blue, Pine Green and Burgundy make a bolder statement. Compare color names and codes carefully before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring help: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/measuring-instruction-for-roman-shades-blinds\"\u003eHow to measure Roman shades\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fredesigner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68139572560122,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6175\/0522\/files\/fredesigner-nocturne-top-down-bottom-up-roman-shades-01.webp?v=1794240273","url":"https:\/\/www.fredesigner.com\/products\/nocturne-top-down-bottom-up-roman-shades","provider":"Fredesigner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
