What Are Zebra Shades?

By positioning the fabric bands, homeowners can enjoy filtered natural light, increased privacy, or a more open view of the outdoors without fully raising the shade.
Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades take the concept of traditional Zebra Shades even further by offering premium fabrics, exclusive geometric patterns, room-darkening options, and PowerView® Automation. The result is a sophisticated window treatment that delivers both function and visual impact.
Designer Banded Shades for Large Windows and Modern Homes
Designer Banded Shades are especially popular for large windows, open-concept living spaces, and contemporary homes. Their clean lines and modern fabric designs create a striking visual effect while allowing homeowners to manage glare, privacy, and natural light throughout the day.
