Roman blinds
Roman blinds are fabric blinds that combine the clean lines of contemporary décor with the richness of textiles. Lowered, they show bold horizontal folds across the window; raised, the fabric gathers into a neat stack above or inside the frame. They come in blockout and light-filtering fabrics and suit bedrooms, living rooms and studies.

Questions about roman blinds
Are roman blinds good for blocking light?
Yes, in a blockout fabric. Fitted outside the recess, a blockout roman blind darkens a bedroom well.
Can roman blinds be washed?
Usually not in a machine, because the rods, lining and stitching can distort. Vacuum them regularly and have them professionally cleaned when needed.
