When raised, the fabric gathers into soft folds — decorative and made to measure.
The benefit
Where a roller blind looks too plain and a curtain too bulky, the Roman blind hits the middle: textile warmth in soft folds, yet space-saving at the window.
The soft horizontal folds bring fabric and depth into the room — the space instantly feels homelier than with a flat panel, without masses of fabric hanging down.

Buying advice
The roman blind is the middle ground between roller blind and curtain. It brings textile warmth to the window — the fabric gathers into soft horizontal folds when raised — yet takes no room space like a floor-length curtain. That is exactly what makes it so popular in the living room.
At the Light the Roman blind works gently: it dims the sun instead of cutting it off harshly. Stopped at half-height, you take the glare out of the low afternoon sun without darkening the room — an intermediate position a simple roller blind does not offer.
For the Abend the fabric decides: opaque qualities screen reliably when the light is on inside. If you want it completely dark, choose a blackout fabric or combine the Roman blind with a roller blind behind it — on its own it dims pleasantly but does not fully black out.
Because with the Roman blind the fabric carries the effect, it is worth taking time over the fabric choice here: fine linen looks calm and natural, a patterned decorative fabric sets an accent. The folded look shows texture and patterns particularly well — we bring samples straight to your window.
Fabrics look different at the window than in the sample book: during the free home consultation in the canton of Zurich you see the drape directly in your living room.
