At Black’s Shutters Shades & Blinds, we provide a wide range of custom zebra shades that are stylish, functional, and easy to use. Whether you’re designing a cozy bedroom or updating a modern office, zebra shades bring a clean, layered look that works well in any space—all while giving you simple control over light and visibility.

Why Zebra Shades Are a Smart Choice

Enjoy Natural Light Without Glare

The dual fabric stripes filter sunlight gently, allowing brightness in while reducing glare on screens and surfaces.

Modern Look That Elevates Any Room

Zebra shades offer a clean, layered design that pairs well with both minimal and elegant interior styles.

Cordless & Motorized Options for Convenience

Cordless zebra shades and motorized options create a smooth, safe, and easy experience—especially for large or hard-to-reach windows.

Privacy and Light Control in One Layered Shade

Sheer and solid bands adjust easily to switch between privacy and view-through, depending on your needs throughout the day.

Great for Living Rooms, Bedrooms & Offices

Versatile in design, zebra window shades are great for relaxing spaces, focused work areas, or stylish common rooms.

Energy-Saving and UV-Blocking Benefits

Zebra shades help protect interiors from UV damage and offer insulation that can help reduce energy usage over time.

Customizing Zebra Shades for Your Space

No two windows—or rooms—are exactly the same. That’s why Black’s Shutters Shades & Blinds offers a full range of custom zebra shades to match your space and your needs. Choose between light-filtering fabrics for softly lit areas, or room darkening zebra shades for darker, more restful environments. Want a clean, modern look? Our cordless zebra roller shades are sleek, easy to use, and safe for children and pets.
For sliding doors or wide windows, we offer zebra shades for sliding glass doors with custom width options and smooth-glide functionality. You can also choose from top down bottom up zebra shades or traditional lift styles based on how much flexibility you want with light control.
Control types include manual pull chains, cordless lift systems, or motorized zebra shades that can be operated by remote or smart device. From subtle neutrals to bold colors, every detail is customizable—including fabric texture, stripe size, and cassette style—so your zebra shades look and function exactly how you want them to.

Dual-Layer Design That Does More

The standout feature of zebra shades is their dual-layer fabric structure—alternating bands of sheer and solid fabric that align and shift to let in light or block it. This layered look gives you more control than traditional roller shades, allowing you to transition between open, closed, or softly filtered light in seconds. The zebra design not only enhances the visual appeal of your window treatment but also allows for a more personalized lighting experience. Whether fully lowered or partially aligned, zebra shades offer a dynamic design that’s as smart as it is beautiful.

Smart Operation with Motorized Zebra Shades

For added convenience and modern living, motorized zebra shades are an excellent choice. Controlled by remote or smart device, these shades allow you to adjust your light and privacy levels with a tap or voice command. They’re ideal for large windows, tall spaces, or simply making your day a little easier. With programmable settings, you can even schedule your shades to open with the morning light and close at night. If you’re building a smart home, these shades integrate seamlessly into most systems. At Black’s Shutters Shades & Blinds, we make comfort and technology come together beautifully.

Things to Consider Before You Buy

Mounting: Inside vs. Outside Frame
Inside mount zebra shades fit neatly within the window frame for a sleek, built-in look. Outside mounts are great for maximizing light blockage and creating the illusion of larger windows.
Understanding Light Control Options
Zebra shades allow you to shift between sheer and solid layers for full or partial coverage. This gives you more control over brightness throughout the day without needing to raise or lower the entire shade.
Choosing the Right Fabric & Stripe Width
Fabric choices vary from soft and sheer to textured and room-darkening. Wider stripe patterns make a bolder style statement, while narrow stripes blend in subtly with your space.
Care Tips for Longevity & Daily Use
To clean your zebra roller shades, gently dust with a microfiber cloth or vacuum using a brush attachment. Avoid harsh cleaners to preserve the layered fabric design.

Zebra shades offer a lot of versatility—but a good fit and proper setup make all the difference. Consider function, fabric, control type, and window placement when selecting your style. At Black’s Shutters Shades & Blinds, we help you get it right the first time.

Expert Advice on Style & Function

To choose the best zebra shade, first decide what your space needs—privacy, light filtering, or blackout? For bedrooms or media rooms, room darkening zebra shades offer restful darkness. In living areas, light-filtering zebra shades balance softness and visibility. If safety and convenience are priorities, cordless or motorized zebra roller shades are your best bet. For large sliding doors, go with fabric vertical zebra shades designed to move smoothly side to side. Match your shade’s fabric to your furniture and wall tones for a seamless look. When in doubt, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
