Day & Night Blinds Preston & Grimsargh

Day and night blinds — sometimes called zebra blinds — are made from alternating bands of sheer and solid fabric. By adjusting the position of the blind, you align the sheer bands for diffused natural light, the solid bands for full privacy, or a combination of the two for somewhere in between. The result is a blind that stays in the window at all times but gives you a much wider range of light settings than a standard roller.

In the morning, you can fill the room with soft, diffused light through the sheer panels without the brightness of a completely open window. In the evening, you can shift the solid panels to face outward for complete privacy from the street — without raising the blind or compromising the coverage. It’s this flexibility across the day that makes them particularly popular in living rooms and bedrooms.

The clean, contemporary design of day and night blinds also suits modern interiors well. The horizontal banded pattern when the sheer sections are open creates a layered, graphic quality that a plain roller doesn’t have.
