Voile is a sheer, translucent fabric that softens daylight and adds a layer of daytime privacy without blocking the view or the brightness.

A day-and-night blind, also called a vision or zebra blind, is made of two layers of striped fabric - alternating sheer and solid bands - that slide over one another. Line the solid bands up and you get shade and privacy; slide them so the sheer bands meet and you get an open, screened view; stop anywhere in between to dial in exactly the light you want. That one control covers a lot of ground, which is why it suits living rooms, kitchens and any room where the right amount of light changes through the day.

Because there is always a sheer band in play, a day-and-night blind dims a room rather than blacking it out, and after dark with the lights on you remain visible through the sheer stripes, so it is not the choice for a bedroom that needs to be dark. It wipes clean easily, and PVC-friendly versions cope with kitchens and bathrooms. With more fabric and mechanism than a plain roller, it costs a little more than a roller of the same fabric and size.

The striped layers run on a single continuous chain, so you set the light level in one smooth movement, and a headrail cassette tidies the roll away at the top for a finished look. Cordless and motorised versions are worth seeking out where a child-safe operation matters, and wipe-clean fabrics make the style practical in a kitchen or a busy family room.
