Roman blinds
Roman blinds are fabric blinds that fold into neat horizontal pleats as they rise and lie flat when lowered. They give the softness of curtains with the tidiness of a blind, and can be lined for blockout and extra insulation. They suit bedrooms, living rooms and studies.

Questions about roman blinds
Are roman blinds good for blocking light?
Yes, with a blockout lining. Fitted outside the recess, a lined 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.
