Roman Blinds UK
Roman blinds are a popular window treatment option in the UK, known for their elegant and timeless look. They are made from a single piece of fabric that is folded into neat pleats when raised. Then, when lowered, the fabric lies flat. They can be made from a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, linen, silk, and polyester, and come in a variety of colours, patterns, and textures to suit any decor style.
Why Choose Roman Blinds
One of the most sought-after features of roman blinds is their ability to provide privacy and light control. When these fabric blinds are fully lowered, they block out most of the light, making them ideal for bedrooms and media rooms. When they are partially raised, they filter light, providing a soft, diffused glow, perfect for living rooms and kitchens.
Another advantage of roman blinds is their easy operation and low maintenance. With a simple chain or cord, they can be raised and lowered to your desired position in seconds. They can also be vacuumed or dusted regularly to remove dirt and dust, and some fabric can even be spot cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water for stains.
Roman blinds are also a great option for those looking for a more sustainable window treatment. They are often made from natural fibres like cotton and linen, which are biodegradable and more environmentally friendly than synthetic alternatives. Additionally, many roman blinds are now available in eco-friendly and energy-efficient options, with blackout or thermal linings, which can help to reduce energy costs.
In summary, Made to Measure Roman blinds are a versatile and elegant window treatment. They're a particularly good choice if you seek a touch of sophistication in your space. At Unbeatable Blinds, we offer over 450 roman blinds in a wide range of fabrics, colours, patterns, and textures to suit any decor style. You can even pair yours with matching Cushions or Made to Measure Curtains.

The width measurement should be taken from the inside of the window frame on the left side to the inside of the frame on the right side. The drop measurement should be taken from the top of the window frame to the window sill. Be sure to take into account any window handles or other obstructions that may affect the fit of the blinds.

How to Put up Roman Blinds
To put up Roman blinds, you will need to first install the mounting bracket on the window frame, making sure it is level and secure. Next, you can attach the blind to the bracket, following our fitting instructions. Once in place on your window, you can adjust the blinds to your desired height and position.
How to Attach Roman Blinds
Roman blinds are easily attached to the headrail using a sturdy strip of Velcro. This makes the fabric easy to remove for cleaning. To reattach the fabric, ensure the Velcro is aligned evenly along the headrail to maintain a smooth, uniform appearance when the blinds are lowered. This simple step guarantees a neat, professional finish every time.
How do Roman Blinds Work
Roman blinds work by using a cord or chain to raise and lower the blinds. When the cord is pulled, the blinds will rise, causing the fabric to fold into pleats. When the cord is released, the blinds will lower, and the fabric will hang flat. For more information, see our guide on How Roman Blinds Work.
How to remove Roman Blinds
To remove Roman blinds, you will need to first release the blinds from the bracket. Do this by undoing the screws or clips that hold them in place. Carefully remove the blinds from the bracket, being sure to keep track of any screws or clips so that you can reattach them later if necessary.
Can you wash Roman Blinds
It depends on the type of fabric the Roman blinds are made of some fabrics are machine washable while others are not. It’s best to check the care label or consult with the manufacturer to see if it’s safe to wash your specific Roman blinds.
In general, it is recommended to spot clean or vacuum Roman blinds rather than washing them. If you find they need a deep clean, we recommend a professional dry cleaner.
What do Roman Blinds look like from the outside
