A Stylish Combination – Roman Blinds and Curtains

Whether you’re looking for a particular style and sophistication to your home or even if you can’t make up your mind between a roman blind or a pair of curtains, why limit yourself to one window dressing?

Using a combination of the two not only creates a visual delight at your windows, there are also hidden benefits depending on your chosen fabrics and styles…

Perfect for Privacy

An ideal solution for overlooked homes or houses that face busy roadways or footpaths.

You’ll want to keep your window covered during the day to ensure your home is kept private but closing the curtains and blocking out the light isn’t always the best thing to do – you don’t want to feel like you’re living in a cave!

Combining a voile style roman blind, such as this Relaxed Voile Pearl, with a pair of curtains can solve your dilemma quite easily. The voile can be lowered during the day, allowing the light to filter through and bathe your home in a gentle glow and then once the evening sets in, you can simply pull the curtains across to keep your room feeling snug and cosy into the night.

Added Warmth

If your windows have a habit of letting all the cold air leak in, doubling up on your dressings could help you cut your costs.

With various linings available on both blinds and curtains, you can choose an energy saving option to help control the temperature more effectively in your home – combine this with a blackout lining and you’ll receive the added bonus of blocking out unwanted light, perfect for a bedroom.

If you choose more luxurious and sumptuous fabrics, like these Zola Auberge curtains, you’ll also gain the benefit of a glamorous touch to your decor.

Bursts of Detail and Colour

You can use layers beautifully to switch between those times that you feel bold and brilliant and those times that you need something a little more soothing.

Hiding away a brighter, more bold pattern in the form of a roman blind can be a great way to give your room a burst of colourful personality while the option of a more simplistic and plain design for the curtains adds a more subtle finish to your room.

By using complimenting colours that keep in with your interior theme, you can create a stylish and seamless effect that will give your home an added air of sophistication.
