When decorating their apartment, many people pay special attention to window decoration. Stylish cornices, weightless curtains and textured curtains – all this emphasizes the aristocratic taste of the apartment owners. However, there are also those who try to move away from the classic version of window design and find something modern and original. This is where day-night blinds come in handy. They look very unusual and at the same time darken the room well. What other features do these innovative products have? Let’s try to figure it out.
How do blinds work on day-night windows?
The roller blinds of these blinds consist of two parallel stretched canvases, which in turn consist of transparent and opaque fabric strips. With the help of the control mechanism, the fabric roller blinds begin to move relative to each other, therefore the strips begin to change their position. When opaque parts coincide, less light enters the room, and when transparent parts coincide, more light enters the room. Thanks to this, an interesting effect of the play of shadow and light is achieved, which gives the room a stylish and slightly mysterious look.
Model advantage
Horizontal blinds with transparent inserts have a number of advantages that make them an ideal option for window decoration. They:
- are not deformed;
- have dust-repellent and antistatic properties;
- do not fade in the sun;
- clean with an ordinary dry brush;
- fit easily into any interior;
- compared to other models, blinds look fresh and original;
- they can be combined with textile curtains.
Model range
Depending on the opening mechanism and design features, all blinds are divided into several groups:
- Roller fabric blinds day-night. Some call them “roller blinds”, since their basis is smooth, dense fabric, and not slats as in conventional blinds. They are often used in bedroom, nursery and living room interiors. The color of opaque elements can be matched to the color of furniture, curtains or wallpaper.
- Pleated blinds day-night. They are the epitome of style and functionality. Outwardly, they resemble models with horizontal slats, only the role of slats is played by fabric with small folds. The pleat is held in place by guide cables that open it or stack it. To achieve the “day-night” effect, two fabrics of different light transmittance or different colors are installed on the blinds. The product is very compact and elegant, and when folded it is practically invisible.
- Zebra blinds day-night. They received this name because of the black and white coloring characteristic of the zebra print. This model can be installed in a classic living room or in a kitchen made in monochrome colors.

As you can see, the range of “striped” blinds is very wide, so choosing the right model will not be difficult.
Interior solutions
How to correctly fit such an unusual accessory into the interior of an apartment? First, carefully study the design features of the room. What style is it made in? If this is cozy country or Provence, then textured roller blinds in soft pastel shades will suit you. If the room is made in a classic style, then it is better to choose blinds in brown, blue, beige or peach. They can be complemented with heavy curtains hanging freely on the sides. This way you will combine classic and modern methods of window decoration and thereby show your individuality.
