Zebra Blinds for a Townhouse Bedroom

VTP DECOR has just completed the installation of zebra blinds for the bedroom windows of a townhouse project. Unlike a living room or office, a bedroom has its own lighting needs: enough natural light during the day to keep the space airy, but the ability to block sunlight early in the morning or during an afternoon nap so that sleep is not disturbed.

Why are zebra blinds a good fit for bedrooms?

Zebra blinds consist of alternating blackout and sheer fabric bands on a single panel. Shift the two layers one way and the blackout bands cover almost the entire window – ideal for an afternoon nap or when privacy is needed; shift them the other way and natural light passes through the sheer bands so the room never feels stuffy during the day. One blind with two functions is far more convenient than installing two separate layers of curtains.

Neutral tones that are easy to match

The project used a brown and ivory-white colourway for the zebra blinds – a neutral palette that blends easily with light-coloured walls and the wooden furniture common in townhouse bedrooms, suits any design style, and keeps the resting space warm and gentle.

This is an increasingly popular choice in residential townhouses, where homeowners want a solution that is both attractive and more practical than traditional fixed blackout curtains.
