These versatile window treatments combine classic design with modern functionality, making them the perfect addition to any room. Whether you’re seeking privacy, light control, or a touch of sophistication, Roman blinds deliver on every front. Made with the same style of fabrics as Roller Blinds, these are an entry level Roman Blind that can still look stylish and provide insulation benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Standard Roman Blinds are fabric window coverings that fold neatly into soft, horizontal pleats when raised and lay flat when lowered. They provide a polished, tailored look while offering excellent control over light and privacy. Perfect for both traditional and contemporary interiors, Roman blinds bring a refined touch to any space.

Roman blinds operate through a simple yet effective mechanism that raises and lowers the fabric in smooth, cascading folds. The design of Roman blinds ensures that the fabric folds evenly as it is raised. The folds can vary in style—flat for a sleek, modern look, or hobbled for a softer, more traditional appearance.

You can stop Roman blinds at any height, giving you precise control over the amount of light and privacy in the room. Lower them fully for complete coverage or raise them partially to allow natural light in while maintaining privacy.

Yes, Roman blinds can be mounted either inside or outside the window frame, depending on your preference and the depth of your window recess. Inside mounts offer a sleek, built-in look, while outside mounts can make windows appear larger.

Roman blinds can be used in bathrooms and kitchens, but it’s best to choose moisture-resistant fabrics or materials, such as polyester blends, to prevent mould and mildew in high-humidity areas.

Yes, depending on the fabric you choose, Roman blinds can offer complete privacy. Blackout or thicker fabrics are ideal for spaces like bedrooms and bathrooms, where privacy is essential.

Absolutely! Roman blinds can be paired with curtains to create a layered look, adding depth, style, and enhanced light control.

Yes, cordless and motorized Roman blinds are excellent child- and pet-safe options, eliminating the risk of entanglement.

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”.

Custom Roman blinds are priced individually based on your window size, fabric selection and chosen features. We provide an accurate quote after a free in-home consultation and professional measurement in Canberra and surrounding areas.
Our standard Roman blinds have a variable starting price because every piece is made-to-measure. Final costs depend on your window size, fabric selection, and any optional features like lining or motorisation.
No. Online prices are indicative only and serve as a guide. Because we specialise in “made-to-measure” for a perfect fit, online prices are only estimates. Your final quote is provided after an on-site measurement and consultation to ensure all custom variables are accounted for.
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.
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. However, they offer a sophisticated, “drapery-like” aesthetic and superior insulation. The final cost ultimately depends on the specific configuration of each blind.
Custom blinds are built to your exact window specs for a “perfect fit,” professionally installed and crafted from selected fabrics, ensuring a precise fit and refined finish that ready-made options can’t achieve. Custom options also use higher-quality fabrics and come with our 15-year local warranty.
Absolutely. Beyond the “personalised style,” custom Roman blinds offer better energy efficiency, a longer lifespan with a 15-year warranty, and a professional finish that adds value to your home.
The primary cost drivers are the window dimensions (size), the quality/type of fabric selected, the type of lining used (e.g., blockout), and whether you choose manual or motorised operation.
Yes. Larger windows require more material and sturdier hardware. Precise measurements ensure you only pay for exactly what you need while guaranteeing a seamless, professional look.
Fabric selection is a major factor. We offer a range from entry-level “standard” fabrics (stiffer, like roller blinds) to luxurious “decorative” drapery fabrics, each with different price points. Learn more about our Decorative Roman Blinds here.
Standard pricing may include basic lining, but specialised options like thermal or total blockout linings are considered extra options that can be added during your consultation.
Motorisation is an optional upgrade. While it adds to the initial cost, it provides modern convenience, smart home integration, and enhanced child safety by removing manual cords.
Final pricing is influenced by window size, fabric choice, lining choice (light-filtering vs. blockout), motorisation, your preferred control system (cord, chain, or motor), and installation requirements.
