What are Zebra Blinds and How to Choose the Best Ones for Your Home
Zebra shades may share their name with the striped creature, but beyond their visual striping, zebras and zebra shades don’t have all that much in common. One spends its days roaming the African plains, while the other protects your home from UV, provides light control, and elevates the ambiance of your home. Learn more about zebra shades and their many benefits this month with our team at Fine Shadings & Decor as we explore these one-of-a-kind window treatments.
What are Zebra Shades?
Zebra shades, or banded shades, are a style of roller shades made from one continuous piece of fabric that alternates translucent and opaque textile bands running horizontally. That fabric is looped around a top roller unit, creating a double fabric layer that can be adjusted with either the translucent bands lining up for optimal openness or the bands offset to block incoming light.
Zebra shades are often interchangeably called zebra blinds because of their linear aesthetic, reminiscent of blinds. Like Venetian blinds, the smart use of their horizontal pattern can help make rooms feel longer or bigger, and the open design lets in abundant natural light, which also helps to make rooms feel larger.
We love using zebra shades in restrooms for the added privacy their sheer materials afford while preserving the natural sunlight coming in to open and refresh bathroom spaces. They’re also great in sunrooms or living rooms where you want to create various lighting styles with one window treatment.
3 Steps to Customizing Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades
Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades embody everything we love about zebra shades, plus they offer custom style options to let individual homeowners tailor the look of their zebra blinds to their specific interior design style. By following these three steps, you can customize the look of Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades to your home:
- Step 1: Choose a Fabric: Start by shopping the 90-plus options in the fabric library for Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades, which include neutral hues, earthen tones, and popular modern shades. There is also a choice of opacities, from the exclusive ClearView® sheers to light-filtering options to light-dimming textiles that meet various interior lighting needs.
- Step 2: Choose a Band Height: The band height of your zebra shades will affect the treatment’s overall aesthetic and functional attributes. Larger bands mean larger view-through sections of translucent material for a more open view and spacious feel. Simultaneously, the corresponding larger bands of opaque fabric will have a more prominent influence on the room’s visual landscape.
- Step 3: Choose an Operating System: Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades have multiple operating systems for homeowners, including PowerView® Automation, beaded loop, UltraGlide® Retractable Cord, and SoftTouch® Motorization. We love PowerView® for its automated scheduling, which takes the hassle and tedium out of using shades on a daily basis.
