Roman blinds are similar to roller blinds except in that they use a pleat system as opposed to a roller.

Whether your home is modern or traditional, or a mix of the two, Roman blinds are a versatile choice that suits an array of interiors. They are compact and clean-cut, falling straight without wasting any space.

Dressy enough for a living room, Roman blinds can also bring a calming effect to a bedroom, brighten up a kitchen and will even add a softer touch to a bathroom, provided they're kept clear of splashes.

Roman blinds can be made of any fabric like silk, suede, hemp, cotton, linen, or wood, but as they are exposed to sunlight, rain, and dust, they need regular vacuuming and a good cleaning every now and again to extend their life.
