Roman Blinds
Roman blinds are a stylish alternative to curtains, made from one piece of fabric that folds into beautiful pleats when the blind is open. Ideal for living rooms or conservatories, we have styles and patterns ranging form floral to block colours, so you can easily find something to suit your aesthetic.
When you're looking for the finishing touches for your interior, Roman blinds offer not just a stylish alternative to curtains but a practical solution, too. Their simple design makes them easy to install, so you can instantly transform any space and give it that air of sophistication in an afternoon. Perfectly partnering with so many of our exclusive wallpaper designs and colour collections makes our Roman blinds a natural choice for both contemporary and heritage homes.
In a modern home, neutral colours and soft grey tones can be brought to life by Roman blinds that introduce a touch of delicate floral or botanical elements in sage greens or pale blues. In warmer, more rustic settings, partner wildflower or forest Roman blinds with browns and greens. Or introduce some drama into your living room with bold Roman blinds teamed with purple or dark navy blue tones, with a dash of white around the window frame to turn your Roman blind into an artwork. All of our Roman blinds are made to measure so you can be sure of a flawless and professional fit every time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What measurements do I need to provide for my blinds?
Use a metal measuring tape and record your measurements in cm.
Measurements must be accurate for a perfect fit. We will make the necessary allowances to ensure the blind fits the window/door*
Decide on how you want the blind fitted – ‘Recess’ is within the window/door frame or ‘Exact’. For further information, please ready our measuring guide.

Double check your width and drop measurements to ensure accuracy.
We offer two of the most popular types of blinds: roller blinds and roman blinds. The difference between these blinds is the way in which they extend - roller blinds can be rolled and unrolled, whereas roman blinds fold upwards and downwards in pleats. They are also made from different fabrics: roller blind fabric is stiffer and has a blackout coating applied, and roman blinds are soft with an extra lining to make them blackout.
What lining do I need for my curtains or roman blinds?
We offer various lining options for our made to measure curtains and roman blinds. Each has its own practical properties while also enhancing the overall look and feel.
Our standard lining is the most affordable option and is used solely to enhance and give your main fabric a backing, helping to protect the fabric from direct sunlight by filtering out the light in the room whilst also creating a nice drape. This light filtering option is lightweight and produces a soft natural glow in daylight hours. Available in ivory for curtain and roman blinds.
Our satin finish lining is medium weight that gently filters out light whilst creating an improved drape and finish. Satin lining is available in ivory and white for curtains and roman blinds.
Our bonded satin is a medium weight satin lining that adds thickness and helps with insulation. A thicker layer is attached to a satin lining which provides insulating properties and improves the feel and quality of the roman blind. Available in ivory for roman blinds only.
Our blackout/thermal lining is a specialised heavyweight lining option that is used to eliminate light from the room when drawn. It also helps protect the main fabric from direct sunlight to avoid fading. Our blackout/thermal lining helps keep the room cool in summer by reducing the amount of light dispersing into the room, and during those colder months, it helps retain heat, making this a fantastic choice for bedrooms. Other benefits include reducing energy consumption and noise pollution. This option is ideal for windows and doors with a draft and gives a beautiful drape and finish. Our blackout/thermal lining is available in two colours, ivory and white for curtains and roman blinds.
Our bonded blackout adds thickness and helps with insulation whilst eliminating light from the room. A thicker layer is attached to a blackout lining which provides insulating properties and improves the feel and quality of the roman blind. Available in ivory for roman blinds only.
Manufacturing tolerance & allowances?
Your width measurement is the total product width including the mechanism.
Recess roman blinds: 1-1.2cm will be removed from the overall width and drop so the blind fits comfortably. Please note, the gap between the edge of the fabric and the edge of the cassette is roughly 3mm on each side.
Recess roller blinds: 1-1.2cm will be removed off the width only. If you have selected a cassette, the width of the blind will be the width of the cassette and not the width of the fabric.
Cassette roller blinds: the gap between the edge of the fabric is roughly 2.5cm on the control side, and 2cm on the non-control side.
If you want your blind to be a certain length, then please choose an exact measurement blind.
