Add a touch of luxury to your home

Roman blinds create a luxurious feel to a home. Fully lined Roman blinds are perfect for creating an elegant feel, the lightweight unlined Roman blinds provides a sleek, streamlined finish. Roman blinds are excellent to use in any room but are particularly suitable for a bedroom, dining areas and lounges because of the soft appearance the fabric creates at the window.

For homes which have windows which open out, delicate ruches of fabric when the blind is pulled up create a less streamlined finish which is excellent to use in less formal interiors which strive to have a cottage or ‘shabby chic’ appearance with a relaxed feel. Ruches of soft fabric on a bedroom blind is pretty with out being overly feminine and the ideal choice to achieve a soft romantic feel.

When used in a north facing room Roman blinds can be raised to bring the maximum amount of light into the room during the day and lowered to create a warm atmosphere during the evening.

Roman blinds can be ideal for fitting to the wall on the outside of the window recess, particularly if the windows open inwards across the sill. By having a blind which is exactly the same size of the window opening gives a clean, crisp line to the entire wall which is excellent for smaller windows as it allows natural light to flood into the room.

Likewise, a Roman blind which gives the appearance of large box pleats when pulled up is ideal to use in rooms which have a limited amount of natural light for the majority of the day, as the sun moves across the sky and enters the window the blind can be partially lowered and remain looking elegant.

The most delicate, lightweight fabrics can be used to make Roman blinds, creamy whites with a contrasting neutral tones of milk chocolate colours used to tie the blind up provides a beautiful soft look to a window. In contrast the pull up ties can be a bright primary colour to add contemporary flair to the blind. Roman blinds made with delicate floral prints provide a cosy, homely feel which compliments homes which are both modern or old.

Ready made Roman blinds are available in a wide variety of different weights of fabric, colours and patterns. However, if the available colours are not exactly what is required Roman blinds can be made to order or made at home.

Roman blinds can be personally made by using a kit which supplies all the necessary parts to make a blind, enabling personal fabrics to be used and gives an indefinite amount of possibilities of patterns and designs to coordinate with any style of décor.
