A Modern Take on Light Control

Designer Banded Shades offer the softness of fabrics with incredible control, resulting in a shifting atmosphere. By rotating the layers of sheer and solid fabric shapes, your home will instantly change from soft, natural light & views to full privacy, even offering the possibility of room darkening, without raising or lowering the shade.

Banded Shades Patterns

Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades are available in the tradition of horizontal stripes, or the contemporary look of geometric shapes with curves and angles. Because they are roller shades, they offer a sleek,  modern design at the window.

  • Sheer fabric portions invite soft natural light with outdoor views
  • Solid fabric portions offer privacy and room darkening
  • Alternating patterns of solids and sheers rotate

As the layers of fabric move, the solid shapes align with one another to block incoming light. When the sheers overlap, you’ll enjoy the view and a filtered glow of light.

Why They Are Nicknamed “Zebra Blinds”

In the world of window coverings, Banded Shades are often referred to as zebra blinds because of the traditional patterns of alternating solid and sheer stripes. Hunter Douglas took it well-beyond that traditional patterning. With the Designer Banded Shades collection, you can choose from curved, angled, or striped bands.

  • Each shape provides the same layered light control
  • Modern color palettes and fabrics enhance any room

No matter the pattern, Banded Shades let you enjoy light and views–or privacy and darkness–with a simple rotation.
