Roman/roller/vertical/Venetian?

Brian Fitzpatrick

I would like Roman but worried that the stacking height will obstruct the view/light in this low ceiling loft bedroom. What would you go for?

Hi, A Roman blind would be fine either fixed at ceiling height where it would fold away without obstruction of your view, or inside the reveal opt for a light neutral fabric which blends with the wall colour, iIf you are a lover soft furnishings then this is your option.. Roller blinds now come with a top cassette (a bit like a pelmet) the roller neatly folds away into the cassette great for a modern minimalist look. Venetian would cover the window and you would see the blind not the view. Hope this helps.

That many blinds would be a pain to open and close on a daily basis. You'd likely end up leaving some of them closed permanently which would cut the light enormously. Consider curtains that hang from the flat wall above the archway, in front of the whole bay window. When open they could hang on either side of the opening, meaning no loss of light. It would definitely make the room smaller when closed but would be a lovely 'wall of fabric', closing off any clutter on your dressing table.

Carolina I didn't knew these even existed! Might be a good solution (and cheap). Thanks! SHADES INTERIORS I really appreciate the time you took with all your explanations. I can fit the blinds myself (i did it before, easy!). Would you be able to provide the blind bigger than the rail, then? And would you consider providing the system that Victoria is proposing? That system looks ideal to me, because being slim-line, the gap between the window size and the panels at the side would be much smaller. Is there any email I can contact you at? Victoria You are amazing! May I ask if you are a provider or just do these for yourself? So glad to see knowledgeable people around willing to help! :D Jonathan may I ask for a picture of your shutters? How much did you pay for the job, if it's not too much to ask? Cheers!

I had the brown bamboo at the back of my house some years back, they were brown roman type, great blind but faded badly, white looks good though! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Choice-Blind-Folding-Bamboo/dp/B07358W541/ref=asc_df_B07358W541/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=205189075860&hvpos=1o4&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13796410710047512467&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045193&hvtargid=pla-365279000526&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

Lovely big windows! As others have suggested lightweight light coloured curtains wouldn't have the bulk of thick curtains, so wouldn't take up too much space on each side but they would help frame the windows. They would also still let some light in. If you had white or another light colour they would bring further brightness into the room. But you might only want them either side of the window. Also thought these examples of bay windows with roman blinds and simple curtains, still letting light in as the roman blinds could be in a voile like material or a neutral colour. That way you close off where privacy is needed and then have everything open the rest of the time. Hope that helps.
