Curtains and Blinds Rolled into One with Roman Blinds

People who are into interior decorating are always on the lookout for unique ways to make home windows look good. Beauty, however, is not the only thing they have in mind but practicality as well. There are plenty of windows treatment variations to consider including shades, blinds, curtains, or shutters, and all of these offer their own design impact. One type seems to stand out from the rest and has become a favorite among many interior designers and homeowners for its being sort of a blend of curtains and blinds: the Roman blinds.

Roman blinds have gained popularity because of the ease of use that it offers just like how it is with ordinary blinds and shades, but also because it functions and feels like your good old drape or curtain with its fabric folds and color variety. Raise these Roman blinds and you get the feel of traditional drape with its folding fabric panels. Releasing Roman blinds to cover the window, on the other hand, is as easy as with regular blinds where the panels just simply fall into place. Roman blinds, as such, are seen as a cross between curtains and blinds.

There are a lot of fabric types available to complement any design idea that you may have for your home’s interior. You can go with a different look for every window, or you may opt to have a uniform style for all. Depending on whether you want more light inside a room or you prefer to go blackout, your choice of fabric types range from the sheer to the heavily woven. Whatever theme you wish for your windows to reflect, you will never run out of options using Roman blinds as your window treatment choice. Why settle for just curtain or just blinds, when you can have the beauty and functionality of both curtains and blinds?
