Roman Blinds

Their ability to block out light is dependent on the type of material you choose when designing your order. We offer roman blinds available in blockout and light filter lining options. Blockout fabrics are more effective at restricting exterior lighting from entering your space.

This is helpful in rooms where you may wish to have greater control over lighting, such as the bedroom. Our light filter options are made from a more transparent material, which still allows for some exterior lighting to enter the room, when completely lowered. This is a great choice for rooms that generally benefit from greater illumination, such as the living room.

There are plenty of considerations to keep in mind when choosing your roman shades. Being that our entire collection of blinds and shutters are made to measure, sizing is one of the most important aspects to keep in mind when designing your order.

There are also a number of tweaks you can make to tailor the functionality of your shades to your preferences. For example, you can opt for a chainless or chained mechanism to operate your blinds. Chainless options are particularly useful for spaces that are regularly occupied by younger children. Additionally, you can choose from a range of styles that best complements your space. Make sure to be mindful of these factors while designing and ordering your roman blinds online.

Although you may be tempted to include roman blinds in your kitchen space, you might want to consider a substitute. This is because the fabric used in these blinds typically do not respond well to moisture, which makes them a little more difficult to clean and maintain when compared to alternative window treatments. As such, it can be an issue in a kitchen, where you are regularly preparing food. A great alternative which is best suited to damp environments would be our PVC Venetian Blinds.

The maximum width of your roman blinds is dependent on the functionality options you choose to include during the design phase. Our chained variation can reach 3048mm in width, whereas our cordless options can reach 2438mm in width.

How you go about mounting your roman shades varies upon the type of frame you choose when designing your order. At Veneta, we offer two different types of frames for our blinds and shutters. There’s our Reveal Fit, which sits in the reveal of your window; this refers to the section of your frame adjacent to the window. In this instance, you will need to mount your roman blinds to a bracket that has been installed to your window’s reveal.

Our Face Fit frames are generally installed on the architrave of your window (the open face of your window frame). These frames are typically used when the reveal of your window lacks sufficient depth to mount your blinds. In this instance, you would mount your roman shades to a bracket installed on your window’s architrave.

Roman blinds are a popular window treatment option due to their striking aesthetic qualities, though they have a reputation for being tricky to clean. With these simple tips however, you’ll have few difficulties maintaining your custom made roman blinds.

First, it's important to vacuum regularly to remove dust and dirt. You can use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner or a soft-bristled brush. If your roman blinds become stained, it is advisable to remove the stain as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage. Using household stain removers should remedy the situation. For tough stains, you can also bring your roman blinds to a dry cleaning service.
