Simplicity, gathered in folds
A single piece of fabric gathers into neat folds as it is drawn up: lowered, it is a quiet surface of cloth; raised, it sits above the window as a soft band. The photographs below are of Roman blinds we have fitted in a living room, a kitchen and a study.

What it brings to a room
Simplicity, gathered in folds
A Roman blind is a single piece of fabric that gathers into neat folds as it is drawn up, held in shape by slim horizontal rods. It brings together the soft texture of a drape and the tidiness of a roller blind. As it takes up no room in front of the window, it carries the warmth of fabric into the room without crowding it.

Details and FAQs
Windows it suits
Roman blinds do well where a full-length curtain would be too much: kitchens, studies and children's rooms. They sit comfortably at windows with a sofa, a worktop or a desk in front of them. In a bay of several narrow windows side by side, a separate Roman blind for each gives the whole front a regular rhythm.
Fabric and lining
Natural fabrics such as linen and cotton show a Roman blind at its best; the folds stand out more clearly and softly. In a bedroom we can add a blackout lining behind the fabric to shut out the light, and at sunny windows a lining protects the fabric from fading. You choose the fabric from our sample books, in your own light.
Edge band
We can sew a band in a different colour along the edges of a Roman blind. On a light fabric, a black band sharpens the blind's outline and ties it to another detail in the room, a handle or a frame; without a band, the blind looks calmer and softer.
Sewing, fitting and guarantee
Your Roman blind is sewn to size in our own workshop, with the spacing of the folds worked out from the height of the window. Orders are ready within 3–8 working days and our own team fits them. Like every product we make, our Roman blinds carry a 3-year guarantee, and our washing and care support goes on after delivery.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Roman blind and a roller blind?
A roller blind winds its fabric onto a tube and gives a flat, technical look. A Roman blind gathers the fabric in horizontal folds; even when open it sits above the window as a soft band of fabric and gives the room a warmer feel.
Will a Roman blind darken the room?
With a blackout lining behind the fabric, a Roman blind cuts out most of the light. To reduce the light at the edges, we recommend fitting it above the window and slightly wider than the opening.
Do Roman blinds work in a kitchen?
Yes. Over a worktop, a Roman blind keeps the fabric clear of the counter, and raised it sits above the window as a neat band. For windows near the hob, we choose the fabric with you from those that are easy to care for.
Can the edges have a band in another colour?
Yes. We sew the edge band in a contrasting colour, black on a light blind for example. We choose its colour with you, to suit the cupboards, the frames or the fabric itself.
Can you make Roman blinds for narrow windows?
Yes. Because each Roman blind is sewn to its own measurements, it sits neatly at narrow windows and at rows of small windows side by side. We take the measurements in your room ourselves.
Can a Roman blind be washed?
That depends on the fabric and the lining. Our washing and care support goes on after delivery, so get in touch and we will settle the right method for your blind's fabric together.
