Made from luxuriously soft fabric in every colour of the rainbow and featuring everything from plain finishes to designer patterns, our huge Roman Blind collection offers an abundance of variety. They can be fitted inside or outside the recess, automated with electric upgrades and even no drill systems, but whatever you choose, measuring for the perfect size is easy. See our measuring guide for step-by-step instructions.
A roman blind works by using fabric panels that fold neatly into horizontal pleats when the blind is raised, and lie flat when lowered. The mechanism is simple but clever, combining fabric, cords, and a headrail to create smooth, elegant movement.
When you raise the blind:
- The cords pull upward.
- The bottom of the blind lifts first.
- Each fold stacks neatly on top of the next.
- The blind gathers into a compact stack at the top.
The front fold works like a pelmet and hides the remaining folds behind it for a sleek finish when the blind is fully raised. The size of the first fold is always larger than the remaining folds in order to neatly hide the remaining folds when fully raised. The first fold can range from approximately 150-250mm depending on the drop size of the blind.
