Looking for the perfect window dressing for your new home? Have you ever considered Roman blinds? Here are some of the advantages of Roman Blinds:
Show off your view
Curtains always cover a portion of a window, obscuring part of the view and sometimes detracting from it. Roman blinds fold up really small, leaving the whole window empty to take advantage of a stunning view.
Great for Children and Pets
Unlike curtains, which sweep on the floor and can be pulled, ripped, or clawed at by children and pets, Roman blinds can be pulled up out of the way. Your Roman blinds will suffer less damage and wear and tear, and last much longer than curtains.
Great for Shift Workers
Roman blinds can be made into "blackout blinds", which completely cover the window and block out any light. These are great for bedrooms, especially for shift workers who have to sleep during the day.
Inexpensive
Compared with curtains and other window dressings, Roman blinds are extremely affordable. It costs more to buy quality curtains than you pay for quality Roman blinds.
Excellent in Kitchens
If you want to cover a kitchen window but are worried about fabrics hanging over a stove or bench, Roman blinds could be the answer. They roll up small, well out of the way of cooking, and don't hang down below the window to get caught up in food prep.
Easy to Wash
Washing and caring for your blinds couldn't be simpler. Using one of the smaller nozzles on your vacuum cleaner, simply clean the dust and dirt from your blinds. Dab away any stains using mild, non-abrasive stain remover and a warm, damp cloth. You can also easily remove Roman shades from the window and wash them in your washing machine.
Give a Room Style
There's a reason Roman blinds have remained popular since Roman times. They are a stylish and simple way to dress up a room. Hobbled and European Roman blinds look great in elegant and formal rooms, while standard Roman blinds can dress up any stylish, modern interior. With hundreds of fold styles, colours and fabrics to choose from, you'll be able to find the perfect Roman blind for any room in your house.
