Made to measure fabric Roman blinds suit a range of home interiors from classical North Shore Villas to Auckland city apartments
Contemporary Roman blinds are a wonderful alternative to curtains if you want to create a soft appearance without the bulk, or if you wish to maximise a beautiful vista. There is not a single home interior that will not benefit from a modern Roman blind installation. You can use a variety of fabric weights to create Roman blinds, from fine sheer cotton/polyester to heavy embroidered weaves, and you can alter the fold length to either emphasise or minimise its impact in the space.
The team at Prestige CMT Interiors are experts in creating stunning window treatments in Auckland and have constructed hundreds of high quality, made to measure Roman blinds over the years. Our team can advise as to which solution will work for you in terms of materials, style and colour. If you are wondering how to tie custom made curtains and Roman blinds into your interior design scheme, or wish to talk more about clever uses for Roman blinds, Simone and the team at Prestige CMT Interiors are happy to assist.
Ten questions to ask yourself when considering Roman blinds
Before you choose Roman blinds as a window treatment solution you may like to consider the following:
- Do you want a modern blind ie: flat stack?
- Do you want a traditional look? Perhaps the folds cascade and have a 'waterfall' effect.
- Would you prefer the revolutionary chain system or the economical cord and cleat?
- If installing Roman blinds into a bedroom you cannot achieve optimum light reduction. Is this an issue? Would curtains be more suitable?
- What lining is best for your situation? poly-cotton, thermal, or block-out in neutral or colour?
- Is the operating chain or cord on the right hand or left hand side?
- Does the fabric require support and rigidity by using spines?
- Is there a pattern on the face of the blind that needs to be retained ie: circles?
- If you have more than one blind determine where the top of the blinds will line up on the wall
- If there are curtains and blinds in one room. Is it possible to line them up evenly along the top?
Opt for something different with NZ-made wood or painted shutters
Prestige CMT Interiors carefully selects the highest quality wood look or painted cedar blinds. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use, these blinds are made using the best hardware, including tilt blades and hinges and may be custom coloured to your specifications.
If you think roller blinds or sunfilters will work better for your project, talk to us about the New Zealand made options available, produced in numerous fashion colours. Please note: These are technical and require on site measuring (to the millimetre).
