Are Roman Blinds Old Fashioned?
Are Roman Blinds old fashioned? The short answer…No. But of course, we’ll explain why. Roman blinds are one of the most popular styles of blinds that we see across interior design trends time and time again. They work perfectly in modern and traditional homes.
Roman blinds are one of our top sellers here at A1 Blinds, and we don’t see them going out of fashion any time soon.
What are Roman Blinds?
Roman blinds are an elegant choice when it comes to window dressings. They are made from fabric that is designed to form a pleat when raised. Roman blinds neatly fold together at the top of your window when you want to let in the light. Then, by adjusting the cords, the fabric will cascade down and provide the perfect internal shading.
Roman blinds are very fashionable and allow you to dress your window beautifully. Thanks to their clean design, Roman blinds have a concealed headrail which gives a luxurious effect with no unsightly plastic on show.
Made from a range of beautiful fabrics, Roman blinds provide a homely feel that will add warmth to any space.
Roman Blinds Are Timeless and Versatile
The Roman blind style has been around for years. We believe Roman blinds have stayed around for so long thanks to their simple but elegant design. That’s as well as their ability to be very neutral or very bold, depending on which fabric you go for!
Modern and minimalistic interior design has been on the rise in recent years, and we’d say that’s exactly what Roman blinds offer. A single piece of fabric draped across your window tops; Roman blinds do a brilliant job of dressing your window with understated elegance. We’d say Roman blinds are an investment piece for the home.
