Comparing Roller Blinds & Roman Blinds
When it comes to selecting the perfect window covering, both Roller blinds and Roman blinds offer a blend of functionality and style that can elevate any space. Whether you're looking to control light, enhance privacy, or simply add a touch of elegance to your home, these two options tick all your boxes.
Our roman shades and roller blinds online offerings are available in a wide range of colours and fabrics, allowing you to match your existing decor with ease. They can both be outfitted with Blockout fabric which is ideal for anyone wanting to create a cosy, private environment while keeping out harsh sunlight. Design Your Own blinds online to create your ideal blockout roller blinds and roman blinds today.
We also offer options to design your blinds with Light Filter fabrics. This serves to reduce harmful UV rays from entering your space by diffusing the harsh sunlight, while still keeping your rooms bright by allowing natural light in.
Can’t decide between either fabric options? Our Designer Day Night Roller Blinds let you have both! These double roller blinds feature two rolls of fabric, allowing you to have both Blockout and Light Filter options in one set of blinds.
Aside from these shared benefits, they also offer their own distinct features which may better complement your needs. Let’s examine the key differences between custom roller blinds and roman blinds to see which choice fits you best.
Roller Blinds
Roller blinds are a modern and sleek window treatment option that has gained popularity due to their simplicity and versatility. They consist of a single piece of fabric that rolls up neatly at the top of your window when not in use, creating a clean and uncluttered look. This design makes them an excellent choice for contemporary interiors or spaces where you want to emphasise minimalism.
Benefits
Budget-Friendly:
One of the key benefits of roller blinds is their affordability compared to other window treatments. This makes them a budget-friendly choice without sacrificing style.
Easy To Clean:
Their design makes them intrinsically simple to maintain. A quick wipe down is all that’s required to keep them looking fresh.
Smartglide® Options
A gentle finger prompt enables you to raise and lower the roller blinds with minimum effort. Simply raise the blinds with a gentle finger press, or lower the blinds with a gentle pinch and drop.
Roman Blinds
Roman blinds have a rich history, dating back to ancient Rome, where their elegant, pleated design was first introduced. Over time, they’ve evolved into a popular window treatment that combines timeless style with modern functionality. Unlike roller blinds, Roman blinds fold up into neat pleats when raised, creating a soft and sophisticated look that suits a variety of interior styles.
Benefits
Aesthetic Appeal
These blinds offer a more luxurious and tailored appearance that enhances the decor of any room. Their fabric folds create a layered texture to add depth to your windows. They’re the perfect window covering solution for those who want the feel of curtains, but the structure of blinds.
Thermal Insulation Qualities
Our premium fabrics and the way that they fold lend to their excellent thermal insulation. Keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer with our custom roman blinds.
Chainless Options
Chainless options available for those who prefer a cleaner window finish with no visible chain. Perfect for homes with children or pets.
Both roller blinds and roman blinds bring their own unique advantages to the table, making them standout choices for transforming your space. Whether you’re drawn to the sleek, minimalist design of roller blinds or the classic elegance of Roman blinds, each offers practical solutions while adding style to your home.
From budget-friendly, easy-to-clean roller blinds with innovative Smartglide® features to the luxurious, thermal-insulating Roman blinds with chainless options, you really can’t go wrong with either choice.
Ultimately, the perfect blind comes down to how you want your space to feel and function. No matter which style you choose, you’ll be enhancing both the beauty and comfort of your home with a solution that’s designed to last.
