Zebra shades, also known as banded shades, are a contemporary window treatment solution that combines alternating sheer and solid fabric panels. When open, they create a unique striped pattern similar to the stripes of a zebra or the slats of a blind. These shades operate on a roller mechanism, allowing for smooth adjustment. Banded zebra shades have become popular alternatives to blinds with their versatile functionality and stylish appearance.

At Georgia Blinds & Interiors, we are Atlanta, Georgia's premier destination for custom window treatments from Hunter Douglas, and our clients have put our custom banded shades to good use in many spaces, including:

Living Rooms for Extra Coziness

Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades are a favorite choice for living rooms due to their soft diffusion of natural light, which casts a warm glow throughout the room. Choosing neutral or earthy tones further enhances the cozy feel. Specifically, colors like beige, taupe, gray, and ivory have a calming effect to make the living room that much more inviting.

Bedrooms for a Unique Design Aesthetic

Expressing your style in your bedroom transforms the space into a reflection of your identity and preferences, fostering a sense of belonging. Since Designer Banded Shades come in various unique patterns beyond the zebra stripe, and unique colors, they are customizable to complement several unique design aesthetics. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or a cozy, rustic feel, these shades help create a bedroom that genuinely feels like a sanctuary.

Offices for Increased Energy Efficiency

Banded zebra shades contribute to office energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer and blocking harmful UV rays. The alternating bands of Designer Banded Shades sheer and solid fabric panels allow for adjustable light control, reducing the need for artificial lighting. Furthermore, this shade helps regulate indoor temperatures, keeping the office cooler in summer and toasty in winter. You'll surely reduce your reliance on heating and cooling systems and save a bit on office energy bills!

Commercial Spaces for an Easy Clean

Due to their easy-to-maintain fabrics, Designer Banded Shades offer easy maintenance and cleaning. Spot cleaning for minor stains is a cinch! For this reason, they are an excellent choice for commercial spaces such as restaurants. With minimal effort to keep them looking fresh and new, business owners can focus on providing exceptional customer service without worrying about tedious upkeep tasks. This convenience ensures that the shades maintain a sleek and modern appearance, contributing to the business’s ambiance and leaving a positive impression on guests.
