Customizing your Zebra Blinds

Zebra blinds are the newest trend in window coverings. They are made with alternating bands of sheer and semi-opaque fabric. When fully closed, the coloured bands line up to offer privacy while softly defusing the light. 

These blinds are great for living areas such as family rooms and dining rooms. They come in a variety of styles and colours that can complement any interior design theme. They are an elegant choice that is both practical and affordable!

Determining Your Needs for Zebra Blinds

Before purchasing your Zebra blinds, there are several things to consider. It’s helpful to determine the light filtering needs of the space you want to cover with blinds. 

Is your main goal privacy? To complement existing decor? Is it a play space or an office space that may need more light?  

Once you have answered this question, consider your budget. Zebra blinds come in a selection of fabrics that vary in price so it is important to consider how many blinds you will be ordering when deciding on a budget.

Tip: If there are multiple zebra blinds in the same space, you can align the bands across multiple shades to offer a sleek, high-end finish to the space.

Ways to custom your Blinds

There are so many ways to customize your window coverings with Zebra blinds! These blinds can be made in matte or gloss finish and come in a variety of neutral tones or bold colours. They can be operated using a chain, manually or with motorization options.

-Some Zebra fabrics are thicker or darker than others. The darker the fabric, the more it will add privacy when the blinds are closed.

-This type of window blinds can be paired with a blackout roller shade to offer complete privacy. 

-You can further customize your space with zebra multi-blinds. You can have up to 3 panels of zebra blinds behind the same valence to have optimal control over the UV rays and light filtering in the room with a large, multi-section window.

-It is possible to customize your chain from the colour to the material, opting for a modern stainless steel beaded chain or a plastic chain in several colour options. 

-The cordless lifting system as an optional feature is a happy medium between chain operation and the sleek motorized system. This customization allows you to lift and close your Zebra blinds with the push of your finger! This feature eliminates the need for a cord, which is ideal for spaces with young children or small animals. 

-You may choose to motorize Zebra blinds for several reasons; you have large blinds that may be difficult to raise with manual lift options, the blinds are on higher windows that may be difficult to reach, or you wish to program your blinds to open and close at specific times of the day. 

-The headrail of the blinds can be covered with several styles of valence from a colour-coordinated aluminum brushed cassette to a plastic valance, both of which can be covered with coordinating tissue.

Zebra blinds can be customized in so many ways, the options are endless!
