What Are Roman Blinds?
Roman shades or blinds are fabric window coverings that gather into soft, neat folds when raised. They can be made from different types of textiles, linings, and colors, offering great outdoor views when up and privacy when lowered.
Roman shades for windows use a simple lift system that gathers the fabric into soft folds when raised. They have cords or a motorized mechanism and rings sewn on the back to pull the fabric upward. When you lower the blind, the folds are released, so the fabric hangs flat.
Motorized Roman blinds offer electric operation, allowing you to raise or lower them via an app or remote control.
The versatility and polished look of these window treatments make them great options for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and conservatories. They are also the perfect coverings for bay windows.

FAQs
To install Roman blinds inside a mount, first measure the inside height and width of your window, then mark the bracket positions at the top of the frame. Screw the brackets in place, clip the headrail into the brackets, and test the lift mechanism. Make sure the blind sits straight and clears the sides. SkiptonWall offers free installation for our custom-made, luxury Roman blinds, so you don’t have to worry about this slightly complex process.
Roman blinds are usually fitted by mounting brackets either inside the window frame or above it on the wall. Once the brackets are secured, the headrail snaps into place. Our experts will handle this process to ensure you have properly functioning and aesthetically appealing bedroom, dining room, and living room Roman blinds.
Popular types and styles of Roman shades include flat, relaxed, hobbled, and balloon. Flat shades look clean and modern. Roman blinds for bay windows are often made of relaxed fabrics and have a soft curve at the bottom. Hobbled shades create steady folds, while balloon shades feel more decorative. Each style changes the mood of a room and works well with different fabrics and window sizes.
