Roman blinds: classic design, quality fabrics

Roman blinds paired with curtains make a bedroom very snug, and it’s a great way of uniting neutrals with a single colour often seen in bedding. The neutral Mashall Linen curtains allow the shades of green across the room to work together, uniting in the pretty Poetica Fern Roman blind.

Don’t be afraid to mix patterns in the same setting – it’s all about careful grouping. These Roman blinds in Izmir Charcoal feature a geometric Aztec print which might seem too strong to mix with another print. But stick with geometric designs, such as the metals work and cushions which create stripes on the chairs, and the block brickwork to the wall, and the large tiles on the floor and you have a group of linear patterns that actually work together to complete a look. Even the plants play their part in the setting – oversized fronds of regular shapes, with strong single stem lines, while the smaller ivy trails perform the same function in miniature.

A Roman blind needs to look just as good when retracted as when it’s extended. By ensuring we craft your blind with all the skills and knowledge our team have learned over the years and with the use of only the highest quality fabric, your Roman Blind will retract smoothly into even folds for a pleasingly elegant look, just as this blind in Skintilla Kingfisher.

Finding the right colour scheme and window dressing for a home office can often be tricky, but Roman blinds are a great fuss-free choice and afford excellent privacy. This Rabsico Raven fabric gives just enough interest by way of the jacquard pattern to inject a little life, while the monochrome colour is a perfect complement for the black and white photography.

Don’t be afraid to make bolder choices if you’re going for a coloured look. These pink Accent Heather Roman blinds feature a geometric motif close up, but they’re mostly all about the colour. The black and yellow tones of the curtains in Kelambu Graphite/Mustard may not seem the most obvious choice, but the soft mauve plays against the watercolour effect which dilutes the stronger shades and where the two colours merge there is actually a hint of mauve that pulls the whole look together.

A clear and uncluttered room can really help calm your mind for sleep, and this bedroom is a great example of how to keep your style simple, yet effective. The single Roman blind in Otto Salmon is a calm colour that still catches the eye, and it’s gently paired with a single matching throw and contrasting pillows.

When stripes are as delicate as they are on this Poise Zebra Roman blind you can still pair them with another pattern without having too much of a clash. The grey jacquard stripe has a softness to it that blurs the stripes into a waterfall effect so it pairs easily with the print adjacent wallpaper, while the ever-popular grey tones nicely with the salmon upholstered chair.

Like your children, you’re not really meant to have a favourite, but if you were, this would be high on the list. What better way to wake up in the morning than with the sight of graceful hares arcing there way over your window? Country Hares Natural is a beautiful choice for this peaceful bedroom, with neutral colours and a simple motif pattern. The look is really pulled together with the matching cushions, and the hare accessory on the sill beneath is perfect.

An open and spacious hallway such as this is often blessed with a window and, while the natural light is a bonus in this kind of space you may also yearn for some privacy too. A Roman blind here offers a simple solution that allows you to set and forget – place the blind midway as your day begins and drop as the day ends. This Floretta Teal fabric offers striking colours which are softened with a watercolour effect, allowing you to utilise green or blue – or even both – to complement.

When you have such striking windows as these full height bay windows, make the most out of their shape and draw attention to the height with this style of layered look that sees Leonora Navy Roman blinds, with their dainty sprig pattern paired up with the lush faux velvet neutral of Brilliance Ivory.
