Roman blinds add a creative spark to any room. For literally thousands of years Roman blinds have been used to decorate homes and close off windows to light and dust. Now, with hundreds of styles and types to choose from, you too can find the perfect set of Roman blinds for any room in your home.
Roman blinds originated in ancient Rome, where dust thrown up from people and carts on the unsealed roads flew in through open windows (glass windows not yet invented). The Romans used blinds to shade their homes from this dust, and women loved to choose highly decorative blinds to adorn their homes.
Now, centuries on, you can use these same Roman blinds to decorate your home.
The first step to choosing the perfect roman blinds for your home is to measure your windows. You can either do this yourself or have a blind company come to do it for you. The company will also be able to give you quotes and expert advice on the right kind of blind for your room and your budget.
Next, you'll need to start looking at the vast selection of Roman blinds available in your price and size range. The first thing you should do is decide what purpose the blinds serve. How much light do you want to block out? For rooms filled with artwork, letting a little light through can create a great atmosphere. Blackout blinds work great in bedrooms as they prevent any light from entering the room an excellent choice for anyone working shifts and has to sleep during the day.
Roman blinds come in various folding styles; some suit certain rooms better than others. Contemporary folding styles look great in modern homes, while more classic folds accompany traditional design features. You can choose automatic blinds that fold up and down with the touch of a button, or a more traditional cord or string.
After you've decided on wall and furniture colours and styles, find a Roman blind fabric colour to match. You'll want to find a design to complement your other dcor choices, without overwhelming them. If you've chosen block colours, a patterned blind might make a great design feature.
