Roman blinds can be a great idea for adding a touch of elegance to any room. They offer a softer look compared to traditional blinds and can be customised with various fabrics and patterns.

Yes, Roman blinds remain a fashionable choice for window coverings, thanks to their timeless appeal and versatility in complementing various interior styles.

The decision to mount Roman blinds inside or outside the window frame depends on personal preference and the specific dimensions of the window. Mounting them outside the frame increases light blocking while mounting them inside the frame creates a more seamless look. Both options can look great, so it's best to consider the overall aesthetic and functionality.

Roman blinds, especially when mounted inside the window frame, can create a clean and uncluttered look that may visually expand the space. However, their impact on the perception of room size may vary depending on other design elements.

Most people think of venetian blinds or roller blinds as ‘regular’ blinds, but roman blinds are different as they are made from fabric, rather than aluminium or timber.

Being made from fabric, roman blinds are more susceptible to moisture. In a bedroom or lounge area, this isn’t usually a problem, but they might not be right for bathrooms or kitchens.

Roman blinds should last approximately 5 to 7 years. Of course, this depends on the level of wear and tear put on them each day and if you have children or pets, they may not last as long.

A regular pass with the vacuum is the easiest way to clean your roman blinds and keep them dust free and tidy. If you have any marks or stains on them, use a solution of water and detergent to spot clean, but don’t forget to test a small out of sight area first.

Roman blinds are the best blind option for keeping heat in. Because they are hung outside the window, fully covering it when down, and they can have a thermal lining added, they are excellent at blocking drafts and keeping the heat in.

While it’s common to pair curtains and blinds together on a single window, roman blinds are more often a standalone choice because they already provide many of the benefits of curtains so there is no need to use curtains with roman blinds.

The best fabric for roman blinds is the one that you like! With the flexibility to choose from a wide range of fabrics, you have full control over the style of your roman blinds. Just remember to consider a thicker fabric or thermal lining if you need them to keep your home warm.

While roman blinds are often a standalone window treatment, you could pair them with some flowy sheers or linens to filter light without blocking it fully out.
