Roman blinds
Roman blinds have long been a favourite in window furnishings, but they’re certainly having a renewed moment in contemporary design. Known for their refined, tailored look, Roman blinds fold neatly into soft, structured layers when raised; offering the functionality of a blind with the elegance and presence of fabric drapery.
​
There are several styles to choose from, each contributing a different aesthetic. Classic Romans feature crisp, defined folds for a more tailored, architectural finish that suits modern and transitional interiors. By contrast, soft Romans use a more relaxed construction, creating gentle curves and drape that feel elegant, romantic and perfectly suited to layered, textural styling. Their fabric-forward design brings warmth and softness while maintaining a streamlined footprint that works beautifully in smaller spaces or rooms where full-length curtains may not be practical.​
Roman blinds can be crafted in a wide range of fabrics, from sheer linens, performance textiles, and deep velvets to complete blockout options. Operation can be motorised for convenience or hand-drawn for a more traditional approach. Depending on the selected fabric and lining, Romans can offer light filtering for a soft glow, or full blockout for privacy and improved light control.
They also pair beautifully with curtains - romans can provide privacy and function, while sheer curtains layer over the top to add softness, movement and daytime diffused light. This combination balances practicality with a designer finish.
