Banded Shades

Banded Shades

Banded shades, also known as dual shades or zebra shades, are a modern and versatile window treatment that can transform any room. They feature alternating solid and sheer bands, allowing you to control light with precision. When the solid bands align, they block natural light and provide privacy; when shifted, the sheer bands soften the light and offer an unobstructed view.

Modern living room with a gray sectional sofa, decorative pillows, wooden coffee table, indoor plant, large windows with dual shades, and a view of outdoor greenery.
