Even more lavish and majestic than wood blinds are the Roman blinds. Roman blinds offer homes a glamorous look reminiscent of mansions or large estates.
The Roman blinds are said to have originated from the Roman domes hence the moniker. During the era of the Roman Empire, roman blinds were made of damp cloths hanging over a window to prevent heat and dust from entering a room.
Today Roman blinds, although no longer wet, serve the same purpose. Like the Roller blind, Roman blinds are drawn to open the room to light and a view of the outdoors. It is also lowered to shut off light and give room privacy.
Both flat fold Roman style and tear drop style make a statement giving your home a royal look. The Roman blinds have a timeless appeal and may be used in almost any room in your home including the kitchen and sitting room.
Thicker materials may be used for the living room, the sitting room or the library to have more privacy while thinner or sheer materials may be used to maintain an open and inviting look. Just as Roman blinds come in a multitude of fabrics, there is also a wide array of colors to choose from.
Roman blinds are operated with a cord lock system- cords that are stringed through ringlets or eyelets at the back of the fabric- and are very easy to manipulate. One just has to be careful in tucking the cords to keep them safe for children and to lessen avoid excessive pulling.
Roman blinds can either be affordable or can cost an arm and a leg. The price varies depending on the fabric used. It is really up to your design choice. Simple blinds are available for those budget-conscious buyers who still want the glamorous look of the Roman blinds. Rich colors like red, especially those with gold thread or trimmings exude extravagance and are ideal for large rooms. Lavish designs coupled with draperies are also available for those who have no worry for cost. You may also add cornices, tussles and other elegant accents to you window to complete the royal theme of your home.
