Types of Roman Blinds.

Soft Roman Blinds in a bedroom

Soft Roman Blinds.

‘Soft’ Roman Shades combine the simplicity of Blinds with the warmth and versatility of soft furnishing fabrics. Create a complete interior look by co-ordinating the fabrics in your Blinds with those in your Curtains, Blind Pelmets, and Blind Accessories like Cushions. Our Soft folds are constructed with high quality lining which keeps the front fabric stable, ensures no shrinkage or distortion, and provides increased insulation and light control.

 
Hard Roman Blinds with Sheer Curtains

Hard Roman Blinds.

‘Hard’ Roman Shades have battens which create crisp, clean lines with subtle folds that blend seamlessly with traditional interiors or soften a contemporary one. The latest automated technology and precision machinery ensure symmetrical and evenly spaced panelling. Choose from a range of Australian Made Roman Blind styles and fabrics, including blockout, sunscreen and translucent.

Our tailor made solution considers how the Blind should look in your space as well as height, width, and if any obstructions (such as door handles) need special attention.

 

Roman Blind Fabrics.

Fabric is an essential part of choosing new Roman Blinds for windows. Each fabric has its own unique characteristics and performance levels so it’s important to choose the best fabric for your lifestyle. We offer an extensive collection of contemporary and traditional Blind fabrics for light, warmth and privacy within your home, office or commercial space.

When selecting fabrics for your home, safety and sustainability are just as essential as style. At dollar curtains + blinds, we’re proud to offer Oeko-Tex® Certified fabrics as part of Australia’s largest range. These materials provide peace of mind as they are free from harmful substances, safe for human contact, and produced with environmental responsibility in mind.

Finishes for Fabric Roman Blinds.

Ensure the bottom of your Blinds has the right finish to complete your design scheme. For a contemporary and streamlined look, choose a plain finish. If you prefer a more decorative style, add a soft scarf finish or a trim such as a braid or fringe. Or maybe you’re more a classic kind of person and would prefer the Georgian scallop finish.

View great options in our brochure or visit your nearest dollar curtains + blinds store to see all of the finishes in real life displays. We have showrooms in Melbourne, Canberra, New South Wales, and South Australia.

FAQs.

Are Roman Shades Better Than Roller Blinds?

Roller Blinds are popular because of their unique style and durability. Roman Blinds offer a more lavish, traditional look, and their structured design provides enhanced insulation and superior light control. For a more in-depth analysis, read our Roman vs Roller Blinds blog.

Are Roman Shade Blinds Good for Bedrooms?

Yes, they are an excellent choice in bedrooms. With added blockout lining, they offer superior light blocking and privacy, making them ideal for ensuring a good night’s sleep.

How Do I Choose Between Hard and Soft Roman Blinds?

Hard and Soft Roman Blinds each bring their own style. Hard Roman Blinds offer a structured, tailored look with clean lines, making them ideal for formal or contemporary spaces. Soft Roman Blinds, on the other hand, drape gently to create a relaxed, elegant ambiance, perfect for living areas or bedrooms where comfort and warmth are desired.

How Do I Care for and Clean Indoor Roman Blinds?

Clean Indoor Roman Blinds regularly by fully extending them and vacuuming with a brush attachment (or dusting weekly to prevent buildup in the folds). Spot clean stains using a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Always check the fabric care label before using any chemical products. For more details, visit our care instructions page.
