Also called banded shades and commonly mistaken as zebra blinds, zebra shades are eye-catching contemporary and modern shades that use alternating layers of fabric for light control and privacy. Extraordinarily customizable, zebra shades are a delightful way to transform your home with natural light and privacy at night. At Blinded By Delight, we carry Hunter Douglas, Graber®, Alta, and Norman® zebra shades for homes near San Antonio and Boerne, Texas. Learn more about these shades and how to use them around your home.

Zebra shades use alternating strips of opaque and sheer fabrics for light control, privacy, and style. The bands and colors create a modern and contemporary feel that adds style or personality to your home. They offer excellent light control because the shade overlaps itself so that you can line the sheer bands on top of the sheer or opaque bands. When you align the like bands on top of themselves, natural light can flood the room, and you can see through to the outside. Bonus: the sheer fabric helps reduce glare and blocks UV rays.

As you slowly misalign the bands, you can make the room darker. Depending on the fabrics you select, streaming light can still enter or you can fully darken the room.

At Blinded by Delight, our banded shades are highly customizable. Select:

• From over 80 combinations of fabric colors and materials
• One sheer fabric and a semi-opaque, opaque, or room-darkening fabric to get the light control you desire
• The width of the bands
• Forgo the straight strips of fabric in favor of a more contemporary design with patterns or geometric shapes, like chevrons, squares, circles, or half-circles

Banded shades are a superb fit for many rooms in your home. Since they brighten the rooms in your home and are easy to adjust for privacy, particularly if you motorize them, you can create a fabulous environment. Some rooms you could use them in include:

• Bedrooms: Privacy at night and morning light to wake you. For kids' bedrooms, consider a shape or a fun pattern
• Living rooms: Ideal for interior decor where natural light and clean, straight lines complement the design
• Home offices: Feel the sunshine on your face and keep clients' information private

Banded shades add style and elegance with clean, straight lines that allow in filtered natural light and protect your privacy.
