Roller vs. zebra vs. cellular: choosing the right blind
Most homes end up with a mix of styles. Here's how the three most popular types differ so you can pick the right one for each room.
Roller blinds — clean and versatile
A single, smooth panel of fabric on a tidy roll. Rollers are the most versatile choice: they come in everything from sheer to full blackout, suit almost any room, and look crisp and modern. If you're not sure where to start, start here.
Zebra / dual shades — view and privacy
Alternating sheer and solid bands that slide over each other. Line them up for a clear view, offset them to filter light and gain privacy — all without fully closing. Perfect for living rooms and view windows.
Cellular shades — comfort and insulation
Honeycomb pockets that trap air for insulation, with a soft, textured look. Best for bedrooms (available blackout-lined) and any window where energy efficiency matters. They fold up compact and let in beautiful diffused light.
