Take your window treatments, for example. You don’t want to be placed in a box with styles that only look good with certain aesthetics, but you also don’t want a design that will be outdated in a few years.

For a lasting window treatment that offers design versatility and several functional benefits, our team at Delux Drapery & Shade Co. recommends zebra blinds. We’ve compiled this go-to guide to highlight the various features and benefits of these unique window treatments.

Zebra Blinds Have Enduring Style

To answer the question, “Are zebra blinds in style?” We say, absolutely! Featuring alternating bands of sheer and solid fabric, these window treatments embody understated elegance that complements a variety of interior designs and trends.

Of course, versatility doesn’t mean boring! Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades, a type of zebra blind or shade, come in over 90 fabric colors, ranging from gorgeous neutrals like Oyster BLKN-101 and Java BLKN-401 to bold hues like Chambray JOR-601, to elevate any space in your home.

If you appreciate simplicity and designs that transcend time, Designer Banded Shades are for you.

Zebra Blinds Provide Effortless Light Control

Of course, zebra blinds do more than just look beautiful at the window. The alternating sheer and solid fabric bands that give these window treatments their zebra name make enjoying sun, shade, or privacy a breeze.

All you have to do is shift the bands. You can even upgrade your new Designer Banded Shades to an operating system that works with your preferences, such as:

PowerView Automation®.
Beaded Loop for safe manual control.
LightRise® System.
UltraGlide® Wand.
SoftTouch® Motorization.

Zebra Blinds Feature Several Custom Opacities

A lasting window treatment is one that consistently meets the needs of each area in your home. For instance, some parts need softly filtered light to create a welcoming, relaxing feel. Other spaces, on the other hand, require greater light blockage for great rest and glare reduction. Designer Banded Shades are available in light-filtering and light-dimming opacities.

Here's how to integrate these opacities throughout your home:

Light-filtering fabrics for living rooms, dining rooms, home offices, mudrooms, and kitchens where light is part of the atmosphere.
Light-dimming fabrics for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms where darkness is key.
