Harmony 3.5" Band Zebra Shades

Zebra shades are defined by their alternating bands of sheer and opaque fabric. The width of those bands dramatically influences the overall aesthetic—too narrow can feel busy, too wide can overwhelm. Our Harmony 3.5" Band Zebra Shades strike the perfect middle ground: a balanced, contemporary stripe that is neither too subtle nor too bold. The 3.5-inch bands create a rhythmic, calming pattern that complements both traditional and modern interiors. When the bands are aligned, you enjoy an unobstructed view and soft, diffused light. When staggered, the opaque bands overlap for complete privacy and significant light reduction. This versatile proportion is ideal for living rooms, home offices, and bedrooms where you want style without shouting. Available in a curated palette of 20+ colors and textures, from smooth polyesters to natural linen looks. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with cordless, continuous cord loop, or motorized operation. The sweet spot of zebra shade design.

The Perfectly Balanced Stripe

The 3.5‑inch band width is the result of extensive design research—wide enough to make a confident style statement, yet narrow enough to feel refined and tailored.

  • 2‑inch bands can look busy on large windows

  • 5‑inch bands can overwhelm the view

At 3.5 inches, the bands harmonize with the human scale of residential windows. The alternating sheer and opaque rhythm is calming and cohesive. From across the room, the pattern reads as a soft, textured solid; up close, the individual bands reveal their architectural precision.

Optimized Light Control & Privacy

With 3.5‑inch bands, the transition from “open” to “closed” requires less than 2 inches of fabric movement. This allows exceptionally fine‑tuned control:

  • Fully aligned bands → up to 80% light transmission

  • Fully staggered bands → up to 95% light block

The overlapping opaque bands create a continuous privacy barrier with no exterior sightlines.

Versatile for Any Room

  • Living Rooms — Sophisticated, never casual

  • Home Offices — Reduce glare while preserving the view
