Roman blinds a twist on a roller blind. Soft folded curtain fabric allows a flat surface. Carbon fibre rods are sewn into the lining to create unique folds or panels across the blind.
Choose the fabric to match or contrast with your curtain material. You can make roman blinds from fabric supplied by you or from our selection of contemporary fabrics and designs.

The fabric is made up fully lined. Along the top of the fabric on the reverse side, velcro tape is sewn, this is to attach the finished blind to the aluminum headrail. This allows for easy removal when washing or during decoration.
Your blind is made with loops or eyelets on the rear, which form pockets approximately 200mm apart. Each pocket has a carbon fibre rod sewn into the lining, resulting in folds or panels.
Operation choices
To raise and lower your Roman blind, you have a number of choices. One is operated by a looped chain, fitted with a child safety device attached to the wall, and the other is motorized with a wireless remote switch.
Bay windows are not a problem, whether they’re square or angled bays with two or more panels. Just put them together, and they look great when motorized, as there are no cords or chains.
The motorized option is fully child-safe. It can operate just one blind or a group of blinds using a single Somfy remote switch, handheld or wall-mounted.
All blinds can be configured to the Somfy Tahoma Switch hub and “app” if you have an Amazon Echo via Alexa or Apple “Siri” voice operation.
Somfy’s Tahoma Switch Hub is the most comprehensive of our home hub devices. This powerful hub can connect you to a wide number of smart home devices, including blinds, curtains, lights, electrical equipment, heating, gates, and garage doors. The capability to connect your home is here and in the most efficient format ever.
It is up to you whether you want to place your Roman blind on its own on the outside of the reveal or in the recess with curtains in front to give it a more luxurious feel. As you can imagine, your blind can be top-fixed or face-fixed using simple brackets.
