Believe it or not, Roman blinds have been filtering light and decorating homes since before windows were even glazed! In the Roman era these folded sheets of fabric draped over holes in the wall to protect homes from dust and provide shade from the scorching sunlight.
This draped, folding technique has developed into a more decorative style window covering adding flair to our modern homes. Roman blinds are a fantastic way to make a statement and transform your room as even when pulled up you will have a display of your chosen fabric on show.
Roman blinds make more of a feature than most other styles of blinds, making them a popular choice for more furnished rooms such as bedrooms and living rooms.
They are often favoured in classic, farmhouse style or elegant vintage style interiors and less so in a contemporary, minimal setting - although the weight and pattern of fabric you choose can make just as big a difference to the setting.
There is no shortage of fabric options available for Roman blinds. Striped patterned with a crisp fold, a damask in a medium weight fabric giving softer folds or even a luxurious draping of velvet...
