The Day Night range from Make My Blinds is a made-to-measure day and night blind offered in 15 colours, starting from £10.58. A day and night blind, also called a zebra or vision blind, is built from a single sheet of alternating sheer and opaque bands looped into a double layer. Roll it slightly and the bands align so the sheer sections give a clear, filtered view; roll it the other way and the opaque bands overlap to close the view for privacy and shade. The result is two settings from one blind, adjusted on a single chain.
Who it suits
The format suits rooms where the light and the need for privacy change through the day: living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens and home offices. Align the sheer bands by day for a soft see-out light, then shift to the opaque setting in the evening to screen the room. It is a neat way to get the effect of two blinds from one fitting, without curtains or a separate voile.
The Day Night range is a smaller, tightly edited collection of natural-looking neutrals, so it suits a calm, contemporary scheme rather than a bold one. The fabric is standard opacity, which means even at the closed setting the blind filters daylight to a low, soft level rather than achieving full blackout - the overlapping bands always let a little light through. For a bedroom or nursery that needs true darkness, a blackout roller or pleated blind is the right tool; this range is about adjustable, comfortable light in the living spaces of the home.
The colours
15 colours available
The palette is all warm and cool neutrals, divided between two textures. The woven shades carry a flatter, fabric-like weave - Woven Barley, Woven Linen, Woven Cream, Woven Wicker, Woven Dovetail and Woven Granite - while the brushed shades have a softer, more textured surface, including Brushed Oyster, Brushed Pearl, Brushed Driftwood, Brushed Flint, Brushed Steel and Brushed Gingerbread. Creams and naturals make up most of the range, with a few greys for a cooler look and a single warm brown in Brushed Gingerbread. The texture distinguishes the members as much as the colour does, so the choice is partly about the surface you want. As with any blind, colour reads differently on a screen than filling a window, so request a sample before ordering, particularly across the closely toned creams.

This range sits at an accessible entry point for a day and night blind, with price set by the width and drop you order. The woven and brushed members sit within the same general band, so the decision is led by the colour and texture you prefer rather than the budget.
How it compares
Against a plain roller, Day Night adds the day-to-night adjustment that a single-layer blind cannot offer, while keeping the same clean single-sheet face. Against a vertical or venetian, it gives graduated light control without slats to tilt or dust, though it cannot clear a doorway the way a side-drawing vertical can. Within the range every member works the same way, so the choice comes down to the woven or brushed texture and the neutral shade that suits the room.
A note on care
Day and night fabric needs little upkeep. Dust it gently with a soft brush or a vacuum on low suction, with the blind fully down, taking care not to catch the loop where the two fabric layers meet. Lift marks with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent, blotting rather than rubbing so the sheer bands keep their shape. Let the blind dry fully in the down position before operating it, and ease the chain gently rather than forcing it if the layers feel out of step.
