Standard Roman Blinds are a widely known style of Roman blind that is made in stiffer fabric, similar to that of Roman Blinds. The fabric range is somewhat limited and quite sturdy. Decorative Roman Blinds, on the other hand, are basically the same style of componentry and same style of blind, but can be made from any type of fabric used for drapery, so the fabric is softer and more in line with household drapery designs, prints, decorative styles etc. Decorative are often a lot more expensive due to the expensive fabric chosen, and they have different styles too – like a “Soft Roman”.
Decorative Roman Blinds are a sophisticated variation of traditional Roman blinds. Made from soft, high-quality fabrics used for drapery, these blinds bring a more refined and decorative touch to any room. Unlike standard Roman blinds, which are made from stiffer fabrics, Decorative Roman Blinds use fabrics that align with household drapery designs, such as prints, textures, and softer materials. They come in various styles, including the popular “Soft Roman,” providing a warmer, more inviting look.
Decorative Roman Blinds operate with a simple mechanism, allowing the fabric to fold neatly into soft pleats when raised, and remain flat when lowered. The blinds are designed to be versatile, enabling precise control over light and privacy. The unique feature of “Soft Roman” blinds is their ability to act as a pelmet when raised, offering a complete, finished look to the window while maximizing natural light.
Available in a range of control options, including corded, chain-operated, and fully motorized systems, these blinds provide an effortless and smooth operation. Whether you opt for a traditional cord lock, a more modern chain system, or the convenience of automation, you can adjust your blinds with ease and achieve your desired ambiance.

Decorative Roman blinds are tailored to each window, so fixed pricing isn’t practical. Since fabric type, window size, and motorisation options vary greatly, a fixed price list wouldn’t be accurate. We provide exact quotes after a professional measurement.
Pricing is calculated per blind, but costs vary by the specific dimensions of each window. Larger windows require more fabric and specialised components, which influences the individual blind’s price.
Decorative Roman blinds are generally more expensive than standard roller blinds due to their tailored design, detailed fabrication, higher fabric requirements, and more complex folding mechanism.
