Zebra Shades
Zebra Blinds Offer Modern Style and Better Light Control
Dual sheer shades are a type of window treatment that features alternating rows of translucent and opaque fabrics. These shades are designed so that as you open or close them, the rows overlap, creating a barrier that blocks out light. Similarly, when the translucent fabrics line up, they allow natural light to flow into the room. This unique design allows for quicker and more precise light control than traditional venetian blinds. With dual sheer shades, you can easily adjust the amount of light entering your room to create the perfect ambiance for any occasion. Their more technical name is dual sheer shades, but most people prefer to call them zebra shades or zebra blinds.
Although they’ve been around in South Korea since the 1990s, zebra shades really didn’t start catching on in the United States until the late 2010s. The breakout year for this window treatment was probably 2019 and their popularity continues to this day. They are especially popular in areas like South Florida where their sleek design fits well with the local aesthetic.
Why People Love Zebra Shades
There are plenty of reasons why people love dual sheer shades. We have listed out the reasons why they’ve become a popular choice below.
- Easy to clean (like other roller shades)
- Highly customizable in terms of colors, patterns, and the size of the fabric sections
- When opaque fabric is aligned, they are similar to blackout shades in terms of privacy
- Popular pairing for motorization (remote or smartphone control)
- Easy to adjust the blinds to desired level of light control
- Pull cord lets light in quickly and is a hassle-free continuous loop

Blackout blinds provide the most privacy. These window treatments black out all light and can come in various materials and colors, including aluminum and faux wood options. Vertical blinds are another cost-effective, privacy solution for covering large windows like sliding glass windows.
Due to their vertical hanging slats, vertical blinds are least likely to gather dust when compared to other custom blinds. If vertical blinds aren’t your style, faux wood blinds are a stylish, easy-to-clean option. Click here to learn more about how to clean faux wood blinds.
Cordless and motorized blinds are the safest option if your home has children. We suggest removing all corded window treatments from your child’s play area and nursery.

How to Clean Zebra Blinds
First off, the good news. Zebra blinds are less prone to dust than other kinds of window treatments like venetian blinds. To eliminate dust, simply use a microfiber cloth or feather duster to clear dust away. Some people recommend using a vacuum, but this might be worth avoiding so you don’t accidentally damage the shades. For dirt or grime, mix some dish soap with water and use a cloth or sponge. Just be sure to spot dry your zebra blinds when you are done. For stains, you can try using a bit of vinegar. Just be sure to test a few drops out on the back side of the fabric first to make sure it doesn’t negatively react to it.
