Custom Layered Zebra Shades Near Virginia Beach


Our custom layered shades, zebra shades, or banded shades allow you to balance privacy, light, and a view with a simple fabric adjustment. Banded shades are made using alternating strips of sheer and opaque fabrics that layer over one another to give you a richer depth of light and privacy. This creates strips where light can come through, creating a zebra effect.

You can filter light by aligning the sheer bands of one layer onto the sheer band on the other layer. Similarly, you can increase privacy by moving the opaque band to cover the sheer band on the opposite layer. The more you spread the opaque bands across the sheer, the greater your privacy.

You can further adjust the light in your home by selecting from light-filtering, opaque, or room-darkening fabrics. The fabric for the layered shades comes in a wide range of colors, from neutral to bold. You can also select solid colors, patterns, or designs.

Benefits of Banded and Layered Zebra Shades


If you like a lot of light control and a modern look, layered shades could be the perfect option for your home. They’re easy to customize by selecting bands of different sizes and opacities. You can also complete the look of your interior design by using colors, patterns, and textures that add depth and interest.

Zebra shades have several benefits, including:

  • Fitting any décor style or color preferences
