Your guide to Roman blinds

Roman blinds or Roman shades are made out of fabric that gradually folds up in a concertina style as the blind is opened. You can see this fabric panel even when the blind is rolled up above the window recess, so choose a stylish, sumptuous fabric from our huge range, and coordinate with your décor.

Roman blinds offer elegant styling with a neat finish, and are also available with electric or smart control. We'll let you know more about that below.

Yes, they can.

Adding a made-to-measure blind that fits snugly in the window frame will help to stop this precious heat escaping through your windows. Our Roman blinds are lined as standard, but if you’d like a fuller, more luxurious look, choose our interlining option to add a thick layer of insulation.

In fact, through our work with the experts at Salford University results show that our Roman blinds with a performance lining help reduce heat loss through your windows by 21%, and when layered with curtains by 33%!

Choosing a made-to-measure Roman shade is all about being able to tailor the design to your taste, and with our range of fabrics you can create a look that’s unique to your style - or even match with the same fabric as your curtains.
