Stylish Light Control & Customizability in Santa Fe With Our Banded Shades

At Santa Fe Drapery, we design and install beautiful and functional custom banded shades that are perfect for Santa Fe homes. Banded shades, also known as zebra shades or layered shades, feature alternating sheer and opaque fabric stripes that allow for precise control of light and privacy, essentially combining the best aspects of both sheer shades and window blinds. These versatile shades can be adjusted to allow just the right amount of sunlight while still maintaining privacy, making them ideal for both daytime and evening use.

Banded shades offer a sleek, modern look that complements any room, from cozy adobe interiors to contemporary designs. Our team of experienced Santa Fe artisanal window coverings experts design custom banded shades to offer you the perfect blend of form and function.
