Roman Blinds are ideally suited to the modern home. Offering a sleek design option, this type of window dressing is the ultimate in contemporary style.

Romans are a great choice for showcasing patterned and printed fabrics. The flat nature of the blind when it is dropped allows the design to be seen in full.

Alternatively, if you desire a more subtle, discreet finish, a plain or self-patterned roman blind will blend into its surroundings.

This type of blind is perfect for pairing with a pair of dress curtains, especially on larger windows where long, bulky curtains can be a chore to open and close; a roman can be much more swiftly and simply opened and closed.

Our blinds are supplied complete with everything you need: Simply fit the brackets and the blind clips into place. Easy to open and close using the side winding mechanism, roman blinds are fuss-free.

The beauty of a roman blind is that it can be opened in a number of stages giving you several window dressing options. When fully open the blind folds into a neat stack of fabric, allowing the light in and taking up very little space.
