How to measure: Roman blinds

How high up should you place your Roman blind? With the supplied fittings they can be installed in both wall and ceiling. We recommend either placing the Roman blind just above the window casing, or 15cm above to create a sense of higher ceiling height.

If you place the Roman blind just above the window frame - Measure from the top of the window frame down to the windowsill and add +3cm.

If you place the Roman blind 15cm above the window frame - Measure from the top of the window frame down to the windowsill and add +15cm.

If your roman blind is sitting within a window recess, measure the exact width and length of the window area. We recommend removing 1cm from the width to ensure the roman blind track will sit neatly within the window frame recess. 

Our blinds are all hand customised to the exact length and width you need. These blinds are reinforced by wooden ribs, with rings at the back and a pulley cord. Tracks and fittings are included for suspension.

Common Asked Questions: 

1. Can I get a roman blind with blackout?

-No, but you can definitely use the roman blind as a nice way to hide our custom made blackout roller blind behind. In that case, you only need to buy 7cm brackets (make sure to measure, so that your roller blind can fit).

We do not sew roman blinds with blackout lining due to the blackout effect not being sufficient. A roman blind lets light in at the edges and at the top/bottom. Therefore, we always recommend investing in blackout curtains that are hung as high and wide as possible at the window.

2. How do I install my roman blind?

-The roman blind is sold with all the components needed for wall and ceiling mounting, and is to be installed in using wall plugs and screws. Make sure you choose the right screws and plugs for your surface and material, so the curtains are stable. Finish by steaming the curtain to get rid of potential creases from the delivery, and for the best possible final result.

3. I want to hide a roller blind behind my roman blind, is it possible?

-Yes, it is common to hide a blackout roller blind behind a roman blind. The only thing you need to do is replace the brackets that come with the roman blind, with 7cm brackets (measure and make sure that your roller blind fits).

4. How do roman blinds work?

-Roman blinds are perfect for tricky window placements or to be combined with long curtain lengths, to take your curtain look to the next level.

The roman blind is sewn with long and slim transverse metal rods placed along the length of the roman blind, which helps the roman blind get evenly distributed folds when lifted up and down. The roman blind has a self-lock mechanism when pulling up and down. Pull the cord out and towards you to release the fabric to roll down.

Length of Cord
The Roman blinds come with a long cord that can be cut to the appropriate length based on the mounting height, ensuring they always meet safety requirements. For child safety, the cleat that the cord will wrap around must be at least 150 cm above the floor. Please note the cleat does come with the roman blind this can purchased separately in colour to suit your decor.
