Zebra Blinds

Light Control and Privacy

Layered shades of zebra blinds are designed for optimal light control. Unlike traditional shades that only raise or lower, zebra blinds allow you to precisely adjust the amount of light entering a room. Align the solid fabric bands to let sheer segments diffuse natural light while still filtering the view from outside. For complete privacy, simply overlap the solid bands.

Enjoy the Outside View

When you want a clear view outside, zebra roller blinds NZ can be easily raised into their valance, offering a window with no obstructions. This flexibility makes them ideal for rooms where you want the option to fully enjoy your surroundings.

Play Around with Colours to Enhance the Decor

Zebra blinds offer a fantastic opportunity to play with colours and enhance your decor. Whether you prefer bold, bright hues or neutral tones, zebra blinds can be customised to fit your style. The clean lines of zebra blinds suit contemporary aesthetics, while the softness of the sheers pairs well with traditional decor. You can coordinate the blinds with other furnishings in the room, from upholstery to accent pieces, for a harmonious look.

Choose a colour that complements your furniture or accent decor pieces such as cushions, rugs, and vases. This creates a cohesive and stylish look. Also, use a neutral base colour for your room and add pops of colour with your blinds. This can make a bold statement and highlight the blinds as a focal point in the room.

Motorised and Non-Motorised Options

Since our vision blinds or Zebra blinds work in the same way as roller blinds, we offer both motorisation and non-motorisation options. Motorised blinds offer the convenience of remote control and voice control operation, perfect for those who appreciate high-tech solutions. Non-motorised blinds are equally functional and easy to operate, providing flexibility for any budget.

Layer Zebra Shades with Curtains

Often, we face challenging decisions such as choosing between a grey or brown couch; and when it comes to window dressing, we can’t decide whether to choose blinds or curtains. Why not pair them this time? However, this pairing requires careful consideration of optics like colour, size, and shape, as well as functionality. You can layer curtains even with plain blackout blinds. This is not only limited to zebra blinds.

It’s essential to think about how the colours and patterns will work together. Avoid using two different prints or patterns, as this can create a chaotic look. Instead, pair a plain colour with a patterned or printed one, using a nice contrast or matching them to your existing colour palette. Remember, it’s easier to replace a curtain than a zebra blind, so choose your blind colour first and match the curtain to it.

For an illusion of a larger room, hang both the curtains and zebra blinds as high as possible, just inches below the ceiling. This draws the eye upwards and makes the space feel more expansive. You can also add a valance above the curtains for a more polished look. This can hide the curtain rod and add an extra decorative element.

Are Zebra Blinds Right For My Room?

Zebra blinds are suitable for various settings in Kiwi homes, such as living rooms and bedrooms where you want to balance natural light and privacy and home offices to create a comfortable working environment.

Zebra blinds are also particularly beneficial for narrow or small rooms. Their horizontal stripes can make a room appear wider, enhancing the sense of space. Install the blinds high, close to the ceiling, and pair them with floor-length curtains to draw the eye upwards and create a sense of height.

If you have a larger room, raise the blinds into their valence to create an unobstructed view that makes the room feel even more expansive.

Style Notes from the Experts:

• Choose colours that match or contrast with your room’s colour palette. For a minimalist modern style or home offices, plain white and grey colours are ideal as they provide a clean, sleek look. Brighter or bolder colours can make the blinds a focal point, adding a vibrant touch to the room. Consider installing zebra blinds in rooms where the interplay of light and colour enhances the overall décor, such as living rooms and bedrooms.
• Zebra blinds are perfect for rooms where varying light effects—such as lighter and darker ambient light and colour mixing—contribute to the atmosphere. These blinds allow you to control light in a way that can dramatically change the mood and function of a space.
• Also, consider your privacy needs for each room. Zebra shades offer adjustable privacy, making them suitable for rooms facing the street or close to neighbours.
• For a striking visual impact both inside and outside your home, install them on large windows that look out to the front or back yards. This not only enhances the view but also provides a “wow” factor.
