Assalamualaikum and warm greetings!
Kak Wani would love to share a trending interior design concept that’s winning the hearts of many decor lovers — the combination of double layer curtains with zebra blinds. In Puan Zaemah’s home, this pairing has created an elegant and modern atmosphere, perfectly aligned with her wish for an exclusive touch in her home.
Before Kak Wani dives in further, let’s get to know these two key elements:
Zebra Blinds – A type of modern blind made from alternating layers of sheer and opaque fabric. This design allows you to control how much light enters your home just by adjusting the chain mechanism.
Double Layer Curtains – These consist of two layers of fabric: a sheer layer for a soft, airy look and a thicker layer for improved privacy and better light control.
When combined, these two elements give homeowners ultimate flexibility in managing light, privacy, and the aesthetics of their space.
Based on the installation at Puan Zaemah’s residence, the design leaned towards a modern minimalist concept with a touch of elegance. Neutral tones such as grey, white, and beige were chosen for both the curtains and zebra blinds to make the space feel more open and clean.
In the living room, ripplefold curtains were installed to create a soft, flowing drape — adding a sense of luxury and comfort, ideal for spaces where guests are entertained. Meanwhile, in the kitchen and laundry area, zebra blinds were chosen for their practicality and easy maintenance.
Not every room is suited for zebra blinds. Here are some suggestions based on their unique advantages:
Kitchen – Easy to clean and doesn't absorb cooking odors like fabric curtains.
Laundry Room – Water-resistant and more durable compared to regular curtains.
Home Office – Provides adjustable natural lighting ideal for work.
Children’s Rooms – Easy to operate and offers a nice balance of privacy and light.
However, for living rooms or master bedrooms, double layer curtains are highly recommended to enhance the sense of warmth, comfort, and elegance.
Color plays a crucial role in tying together all the elements in your interior design. The wrong combination can make a room feel cluttered or out of sync. Here are a few tips to consider:
Neutral Colors – White, beige, and grey are perfect for a modern minimalist look and blend easily with most furniture and decor.
Dark Colors – Black, dark brown, or navy can add a dramatic flair but should be balanced with lighter elements to avoid a gloomy feel.
Bright Colors – Great as accent colors to bring a pop of freshness to a neutral space.
When curtain and zebra blind colors don’t complement each other, a few issues may arise:
Disrupted Ambience – Clashing colors can throw off the room’s harmony and disrupt visual calm.
Eye Discomfort – Overly bright or harsh tones can be uncomfortable, especially in resting spaces.
Altered Space Perception – Dark shades can make a small room feel even smaller, while overly bright tones might make the room feel too empty or stark.
