Three Places for Zebra Shades in Your Home

While their name may give you the misconception that they only come in black and white, zebra shades are one of the most exciting window treatments! Also known as banded shades, they come in more colors than just those you’ve seen decorating their namesake animal. Zebra shades are making their way into residential spaces, and they're taking homes to new levels of design. Whether you want something subtle or bold, there are several places in your home where zebra shades can shine!

Living room

The living room is the best place to use banded shades, as they can add texture and design while still providing all of the necessary privacy and light control. Zebra shades are great for your living room because they give a pop of bright color that will make your space look more vibrant and create an attractive, fashionable accent. If you feel like something a little different for your living room, then these striped window treatments might just be what you need!

Bedrooms

With their ability to uniquely control light flowing into a room, banded shades are an excellent choice for bedrooms. They combine alternating bands of sheer and opaque fabric that can be adjusted at a whim. So during the day, you can adjust the fabric bands to overlap, flooding your room with sunlight. When you want some privacy or want to ensure it's dark enough in your room for a good night's rest, you can switch to having the opaque fabric overlap. You can even adjust them anywhere in between these two extremes, letting you have precise control over all of the light in your bedroom.

Kitchens

As we all know, kitchens are the heart of the home. The place where you prepare food and drink for your loved ones. It's also where you spend a lot of time during the day, so you’ll want to enjoy spending time there.

Kitchen windows are often large and exposed, making them prime locations for zebra shades. Zebra shades can cover small and large windows alike, so you can easily block out light coming from outside while still keeping enough sight to see all those beautiful trees or mountainside views outside your windows.

The design options are endless, with banded and zebra shades.

Banded shades are a great way to add texture to your home, from the entryway to the bedroom. Zebra shades can be used in any room of the house--they're perfect for creating an optical illusion effect in your living room or dining room, and they'll add some sparkle to your kitchen.
