Your Questions Answered
FAQ: Roman Blinds
Q: What are Roman blinds?
A: Roman blinds are a visually stunning window covering designed to dress a window while blocking out light. They are made from heavier fabrics than most other blinds and typically include standard or blackout backing, often with interlining. Roman blinds are frequently chosen by interior designers because many fabric houses offer matching wallpaper. With their luxurious feel and weight, Roman blinds are considered one of the more premium window treatments.
Q: What windows are best suited for Roman blinds?
A: Roman blinds work well in rooms where the window needs a soft, decorative touch. They are ideal for:
Living rooms and bedrooms: They add warmth, colour, and a soft aesthetic to any space.
Colder rooms with wooden flooring or stark walls: They help soften the room and bring in a cozy, inviting feel.
Q: What colours and fabrics are available for Roman blinds?
A: Roman blinds can be made in virtually any colour or pattern. There are thousands of options available. For clients looking for specific fabrics, visits to design centres, such as Chelsea Harbour, allow you to see premium fabric collections firsthand.
Q: What variations of Roman blinds are available?
A: The two standard Roman blind styles we offer are:
Waterfall: Perfect for larger windows or spaces where the blind is not operated frequently, offering a classic, elegant look.
Stacked: A more modern style suited for rooms with limited light or smaller windows.
Q: Can Roman blinds be motorised?
A: Yes. Smaller Roman blinds can be powered with a battery-operated motor, while larger blinds require hard-wired motorisation for smooth operation.
