Soft vanes, light you can tilt
Fabric vanes suspended between two sheer facings, tilting from an ethereal glow to full privacy. The most dimensional soft shade we carry, custom-fit to every window in your DFW home.
Three tilt positions, one soft glow
The fabric vanes hang between two layers of sheer, and tilt like a venetian blind rather than sliding apart. Open them flat for an ambient glow, angle them for filtered light, or rotate them closed for privacy — then raise the whole shade for an unobstructed window.
Open
Vanes tilt flat, letting daylight wash softly through both sheer facings.
Filtered
Vanes angle halfway, cutting glare and heat while the room stays bright.
Closed
Vanes rotate fully shut against the sheer facings for complete daytime privacy.
The widest light range of any soft shade
Choose your fabric
Three quick choices below. They are not an order — they tell your designer exactly which samples to bring, so the consultation starts where you left off instead of at the beginning.
Step 1 of 3 — FabricAn airy weave that gives the softest ambient glow when the vanes are tilted open. Our most requested fabric.
Eight of our thirty-plus Shangri-La fabrics are shown here. Your designer brings the full sample book to your window.
Pick your default position
Every Shangri-La blind tilts freely between all three — this just tells us where most homeowners with your fabric tend to leave it.
Choose how you control them
Cordless is standard in homes with children. Motorization earns its cost on tall windows and rooms you would otherwise leave shut.
Shangri-La, butterfly, or zebra?
All three are layered soft shades with a similar range of light control. Here is where each one actually wins.
Where Shangri-La blinds wins in DFW homes
Living rooms
Tilt the vanes open for a soft ambient glow that flatters the whole room through the day.
Bedrooms
Rotate the vanes fully closed for strong daytime dimness, then reopen them each morning.
Dining rooms
The sheer glow softens overhead light for dinners without losing the outside view entirely.
Home offices
Filtered tilt cuts screen glare for the whole working day without dimming the room.
The way the light glows through when the vanes are open is unlike anything else we looked at. Worth the extra cost.
We went room-darkening in the primary bedroom and sheer everywhere else. Both feel like a step up from our old blinds.
More dimensional than the zebra shades we almost ordered instead, and the tilt motor is genuinely silent.

(682) 271-7646What are Shangri-La blinds? +
Shangri-La blinds are soft fabric vanes suspended between two layers of sheer fabric. Tilting the vanes shifts the shade from a soft, ambient glow to full privacy, all in one treatment.
How is a Shangri-La blind different from a butterfly or zebra blind? +
Butterfly and zebra shades use flat fabric layers that separate or slide. A Shangri-La blind’s vanes physically tilt like a venetian blind, which gives a softer, more three-dimensional look and the widest light range of the three.
Can Shangri-La blinds be blackout? +
They are available in light-filtering to room-darkening fabrics for strong privacy and dimness, though true blackout is better served by a dedicated blackout roller or cellular shade layered behind them.
How much do Shangri-La blinds cost in DFW? +
Most Shangri-La blinds land between $260 and $520 per window, installed. The dual-sheer construction places them above roller, zebra, and butterfly shades. Your quote is fixed after measuring.
Can Shangri-La blinds be motorized? +
Yes. Cordless, motorized remote, and app or voice control are all available, and motorization is especially popular on this line for its whisper-quiet tilt motor.
