A relatively new addition to the window treatment market, zebra shades are still unknown among average homeowners. You may have spotted some out in the wild - they are an increasingly popular option for restaurants and retail stores and are making their way into residential design. It’s about time zebra shades wander into your own home!
What Are Zebra Blinds
Made of alternating stripes of opaque and sheer fabrics, zebra blinds are a practical choice for anyone wanting ultimate control over their privacy and view-through. One continuous shade floats with two panels to provide maximum customization potential.
Overlap the opaque panels to softly diffuse sunlight while limiting the outside world’s view in your home. Stagger them to create a completely private oasis and shut out the world. On days you want to enjoy your view fully and let the sunshine through your window, roll your shades up to tuck them into the concealed valance.
Zebra shades combine the benefits of roller shades, sheers, and cordless window treatments. Rather than having to purchase several window treatments, a single zebra blind can provide the same perks, including:
- Adjustable levels of privacy and view-through
- Sleek, modern design
- Widely available cordless options
- Compatibility with motorization systems
Adding Zebra Shades To Your Home
Embrace your wild side by making zebra blinds a part of your next home redesign. Upgrading your window treatments is a spectacular way to refresh your space without tackling an intensive home renovation. A fantastic option in both style and function, zebra blinds are an easy solution to several common interior design woes. By giving you complete control over the levels of light and privacy in your home, zebra shades can help a dark room come to life, or an open-concept design feels cozier.
We frequently see our clients installing these in their living rooms, dining rooms, and offices, as they are fantastic daytime blinds. Although zebra shades provide privacy and block out light, they are not blackout shades. They are compatible with windows throughout the house, but our experts typically recommend other options for the bedroom.
Available in an endless array of colors and textures, zebra blinds are also sure to match your existing home decor. Or, if you want to refresh your entire space, allow the creatively styled Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades to inspire your new design!
Because zebra blinds work similarly to roller shades, they are also compatible with home automation systems. Most zebra shades are already cord-free, making them a safe option for homes with children or pets. Adding automation increases this security, allowing you to control the shades with the push of a button in case things are getting a little rowdy.
