“ One of the biggest advantages to using Roman blinds is their timeless style . For the industrial or minimalist look , we recommend solid colours in linen or cotton fabrics , for a more traditional look we recommend classical prints and embroideries ."

“ The trend for patterned blinds has merged with our love of trims and borders . Here a trellis fabric has been edged with a contrasting green border to give a vibrant fresh look ”

ROMAN BLINDS

Achieve a more refined look this season with Roman shades ; clean and simple nothing quite beats the classical class of these popular window treatments . Perfect for living room or bedroom spaces , Roman blinds feel soft and add texture but aren ’ t overly complicated – even in a bathroom these blinds will add instant character and softness . Consider patterns , colours and themes – there are some really beautiful art-inspired prints that are sure to create interest , but be sure to carefully consider the placement . Colours or prints should also reflect soft furnishings and complement the overall theme of the room ; if you ’ re using a plain finish consider a contrasting trim . Choose Roman blinds that fold up rather than roll for a draped , elegant finish .
Not only are they beautifully simple and unfussy window dressing , they are practical and easy to hang ; playing around with the height of the blind and how it ’ s positioned will set the overall mood of the room so make sure to give it some thought .
