Roman Blinds (Tailored Softness For Bedrooms & Living Spaces)

If curtains and blinds had a baby, it would be a Roman blind – and it would be gorgeous. These luxurious fabric panels combine the soft, elegant drape of curtains with the sleek functionality of blinds, creating a look that's both practical and wonderfully indulgent.

When raised, Roman blinds fold into neat, horizontal pleats that sit elegantly at the top of your window. When lowered, they create a smooth, tailored panel that softens hard architectural lines and adds that touch of sophistication every room craves.

What sets our Roman blinds apart is choice. With hundreds of fabrics in our collection – from vibrant contemporary prints to classic damasks, from soft linens to rich velvets – you can create exactly the look you're after. Want to coordinate with existing soft furnishings? We'll help you find the perfect match.

They're particularly stunning in living rooms and bedrooms where you want that boutique-hotel feel, but they're equally at home in kitchens and dining rooms. And unlike curtains, they won't gather dust or take up valuable radiator space.

Ideal For:

Kitchen
Children's Room
Dining Room

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question about our blinds and shutters? Start here.

How much light do Roman blinds block when they are raised?

Roman blinds "stack" in folds at the top of the window. During our measuring service, we can advise on fitting the blind outside the recess (above the window) if you want to ensure the fabric doesn't block any natural light when the blind is open.

How do I choose between "Inside Recess" and "Outside Recess" fitting for my blinds?

This depends on the look you want to achieve and the window depth. An "Inside Recess" fit provides a neat, flush look that doesn't cover the window frame—ideal for modern interiors. Fitting "Outside the Recess" (on the wall above the window) is better for blocking out more light, hiding uneven window frames, or ensuring the blind doesn't obstruct window handles when raised. During our home consultation, we’ll advise which option offers the best functionality for your specific room.

Can I automate my blinds, and do they require professional wiring?

Many of our most popular styles, including Roller, Roman, and Vision blinds, can be motorized for ultimate convenience. Most of our systems use high-quality rechargeable battery motors, meaning they require no electrical wiring and no disruption to your decor. You can operate them via a remote control, a smartphone app, or even integrate them with smart home systems like Alexa or Google Home for voice-controlled shading.

Are your blinds safe for homes with children and pets?

Safety is our priority. All Ransome Blinds installations are fully compliant with UK child safety regulations. We offer cordless "wand" operated systems, motorized options, or safety cleats to ensure there are no looped cords within reach.

Do you provide home consultations in Wiltshire and Somerset?

Yes, we provide a full 'shop-at-home' service across Westbury, Trowbridge, Frome, and the surrounding villages. We bring the samples to you so you can see the fabrics in your own natural light.
