If you are looking for a window dressing that is simple yet stylish and offers the same amount of privacy as curtains without being ‘too much’, then roman blinds are a fantastic option to consider. 

A stylish way to create a streamlined, classy look in any window, roman blinds are versatile enough to suit any style, from traditional to contemporary.;

Styling Your Roman Blinds When Open And Closed

When it comes to roman blinds, it’s vital to find a fabric that compliments your room. When your roman blinds are open, they sit on your windows like a pelmet, so make sure you go for a fabric that looks good as a solid block when the blind is open.

Picking A Texture For Your Roman Blinds

Texture is another style element that can completely change the overall look of your roman blinds, making them look more luxurious or lighter, depending on the style you are going for.

For example, heavier fabrics look great on large windows in older houses, whilst lighter materials keep more modern homes looking bright and light.

Finding A Pattern For Your Roman Blinds

If you have a relatively simple room, sometimes choosing a patterned fabric for your roman blinds can add a pop of design that is eye-catching without being over the top in your room.

Patterned roman blinds are fantastic in spaces such as kitchens or bathrooms, where the colour palette tends to be a lot plainer and simpler.

Lining Your Roman Blinds

When picking roman blinds, a lined fabric could be a good idea if your room could use a little extra insulation.

However, if you don’t need to concentrate on insulating your roman blinds, then sometimes going for a lighter fabric that allows the light to come through can make your space seem more open and airy.

Keep Proportion In Mind

If you have larger, longer windows, then keeping your roman blinds partially closed is a great style choice, as it will break up the room and add a pop of colour or pattern, depending on what finish you go for.

However, if your windows aren’t particularly long or large, fully opening your roman blinds whilst leaving a touch of fabric at the top keeps the design element of your blinds without compromising on light coming into the room when they are open.

Decide On Your Other Window Dressings

You can fit your roman blinds around other window dressings, such as curtains, pelmets, and Venetian blinds — when done right, this completely elevates the look of your space.

For example, you could sit Venetian blinds within your window frame and add your roman blinds above them, giving a sleek finish.
