About roman blinds

A Roman blind brings the softness of a curtain without the bulk. We make ours in our Broadheath workroom, so we can space the folds to suit your window, match a pattern across a pair, or use a fabric you already have.

What comes with it

  • Measure and fabric samples at home

Best rooms for them

Living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens where you want warmth and texture, and windows that are too small for curtains.

Looking after them

Vacuum gently on low with a brush head. Most fabrics can be spot cleaned; ask which at the visit.

How roman blinds are fitted

The same three stages for every window, with one fitter from the measure to the last check.

  1. 1. Pick the fabric and lining

    We bring linens and weaves to the window and talk through how dark you want the room.

  2. 2. Sewn to your drop

    We space the folds about 20 to 25cm apart and show you where they will sit.

  3. 3. Fitted and dressed

    We fit, set the folds and leave the blind looking as it should from day one.

Roman blinds: your questions

How many folds will my blind have?

It depends on the drop. We space the folds evenly, about 20 to 25cm apart, and show you where they will sit before we make it.

Can you use my own fabric?

Often, yes. Have it ready at the visit and we will check the weight, the pattern repeat and whether there is enough.

Is a Roman blind warm?

With a thermal lining it helps keep heat in on cold nights, and a blackout lining does a similar job while darkening the room.

Your postcode tells us whether you are in our area.

The first half is enough, such as WA14.

When suits a visit?

A preference, not a booking. We call to agree a time.

Where should we reply?

Just a name and one way to reach you.

We use it only to arrange your visit.
