4

Made and Delivered

Your Roman blind is made to the measurements and options supplied with your order. Production times can vary depending on the fabric, availability, and the options selected for your blind.

Which Roman Blind Works Best for Your Room?

Consider the Fabric

Fabric affects both the appearance of the blind and how it folds when raised. Think about the weight, texture and pattern rather than choosing on colour alone.

Patterned fabrics can create more of a focal point, while simpler designs may work better when other furnishings already carry strong colours or prints.

Decide How Much Light You Want

Your lining choice can change how much light passes through the blind. Standard lining suits rooms where reducing light is not the main priority, while blackout lining provides greater light control.

Check the options shown for your chosen fabric before ordering, as lining availability can vary.

Choose Inside or Outside the Recess

An inside-recess blind creates a neat fit within the window opening. An outside-recess blind extends beyond the window opening. With sufficient overlap, an outside-recess blind can help reduce the amount of light entering around the sides of the blind.

The Curtain Store recommends allowing additional overlap when measuring for an outside-recess blind.

Match the Blind to the Room

For bedrooms, blackout lining can be useful when reducing incoming light is a priority.

In living rooms, fabric design and how the blind works with existing furnishings may be more important. For bathrooms, check that the specific fabric is suitable for the conditions before ordering.

Blackout vs Standard Lining Roman Blinds

The right lining depends on how you use the room. Standard sateen lining adds a finished layer behind the face fabric and is available in white or ivory on current made to measure Roman blind options. It suits rooms where complete light blocking is not required.

Blackout lining is designed to reduce more incoming light. Blackout Roman blinds are therefore a practical option for bedrooms, nurseries and other spaces where you want greater control over brightness.

If you are specifically looking for thermal performance, check the available lining options on the individual blind before ordering. Thermal lining should not be assumed to be available across every Roman blind design.

Standard Sateen Lining

Adds a finished layer behind the face fabric and suits rooms where complete light blocking is not required.

Blackout Lining

Designed to reduce more incoming light and provide greater light control.

Measuring & Ordering: What to Check

Measure the Width and Drop

Measure the width first and then the drop. For an inside-recess blind, follow our Roman blind measuring guide carefully when taking the width and drop, including its instructions on which measurements to submit.

Check Pattern Placement

If you choose a patterned fabric, consider how the design will appear across the finished blind. Larger repeats can create a different effect from smaller or more subtle patterns.

Choose Your Fitting Position

Decide whether your Roman blind will sit inside or outside the window recess when taking your final measurements. Outside-recess blinds require additional coverage around the window.

Check the Winder Position

You will need to choose which side of the blind operates the control. Check nearby furniture, handles, and other obstructions before deciding between the left or right side.

Follow Child-Safety Guidance

Roman blinds are supplied with child-safety components. The Curtain Store's measuring guidance states that blinds must be fitted with the required chain safety bracket, with cords and controls kept appropriately secured.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Roman blinds and how do they work?

Roman blinds use a fabric panel that lifts into horizontal folds when raised and sits flatter across the window when lowered. They combine the softer appearance of fabric with the adjustable coverage of a blind.

Are Roman blinds suitable for bathrooms?

They can be suitable depending on the fabric and conditions in the room. Bathrooms experience more moisture and humidity than most living spaces, so check the suitability and care requirements of your chosen fabric before ordering.

Can I get blackout Roman blinds for a bedroom?

Yes. Blackout lining is available with selected made to measure Roman blinds and can provide greater light control for bedrooms. Check the available lining options when configuring your chosen fabric.

How do I measure my window for a made-to-measure Roman blind?

Measure the width and drop at several points. The measurements you use depend on whether the blind will sit inside or outside the recess, so follow the Roman blind measuring guide before ordering.

Can I view Roman blind fabrics before ordering?

Yes. You can compare the available fabrics online or visit the Blaydon-on-Tyne showroom to view colours, patterns and textures in person. Call ahead if you want to check whether a particular fabric is available to view.

What's the difference between blackout and standard lining?

Standard lining gives the back of the blind a finished layer and provides everyday coverage. Blackout lining is designed for greater light control, making it particularly useful for bedrooms and other darker-room requirements.

Are made-to-measure Roman blinds safe for homes with children?

The Curtain Store supplies its blinds with child-safety components. Installation must follow the supplied guidance, including correct use of the chain safety bracket and keeping cords appropriately secured and out of children's reach.
