What is special about Roman blinds?

Roman blinds are essentially fabric blinds that are made individually to the size of the window opening and completely cover it. The fabric is placed on a structure of horizontal rods. When raised, the curtain forms neat folds, and the design allows you to regulate the amount of natural light in the room.

Roman blinds are a kind of analogue of blinds or roller blinds, made from a single piece of fabric.

The peculiarity of such fabric roller blinds is that the material itself can be absolutely anything. You choose the density and light transmittance characteristics, color and pattern yourself, thus creating a unique and inimitable interior.

When choosing window treatments for a boy's room, it is worth considering the following nuances:

  • Fabric density. A thicker curtain is suitable for a bedroom if you need to completely darken the space. A thinner fabric is suitable for a schoolchild's room when you need to protect the space from bright sunlight, but preserve natural light for reading and studying at a desk.

  • Interior features. If the child's bedroom is bright and colorful, the furniture is multicolored and contrasting, and there are drawings and pictures everywhere, then it would be reasonable to balance the surrounding space, make the window design neutral. To do this, use a plain fabric of a neutral shade that will harmonize with the furniture, carpet or textiles.

  • If the nursery is decorated in modest neutral shades, and there is nothing superfluous in the interior, then you can “go wild” with the curtains, choose a canvas of a variegated color - in bright stripes, with patterns, contrasting drawings, and so on. This will be a bright accent that will decorate the entire interior.

  • Additional options. Modern rim blinds can be made to order, embodying any fantasies. Photo printing on textiles makes it possible to create absolutely any image. These can be heroes of favorite cartoons or games of the boy, cars, spaceships, and even family photos in high resolution.

When choosing fabric blinds for a boy's room, it is worth choosing bright and dark shades: blue, dark red, brown, and also starting from the overall color concept of the interior. The child will be happy to live in such a room!

Roman blinds for a girl's room

Every girl is a little princess. She lives in a fantasy magical world, and her personal room is a fairy tale world. Everything here should be exceptionally beautiful, and the girl's interior should be decorated carefully, not forgetting the importance of details.

For a girl's room, you need to choose Roman blinds with a not too dense fabric, because the bedroom should be light and delicate. The material should be soft, so that when raised, beautiful soft folds and drapery are created. The material should be of high quality, you should not save on it.

Girls like most soft shades, and not necessarily pink ones.

For a girl's nursery, you can choose curtains made of multilayered material with drapery, with a figured bottom edge and contrasting fabrics. Layering several fabrics of different textures and shades gives a very original effect and looks cozy. The edge can be decorated not only figured, but also with additional decor - lace, ribbon, flowers or beads.

It is more convenient to decorate wide windows not with one piece, but with several curtains hung directly on one line.

Bright, rich materials also look beautiful, especially if the entire room is done in pastel muted tones. For example, if the walls and furniture are soft pink, peach and light lilac shades, then for the curtain you should choose fuchsia, bright crimson, purple or coral. Such a contrast will give the space volume and enliven it. If the wallpaper, carpet, furniture and bedspreads are bright, then for the blinds you can choose calmer shades.

The same applies to patterns with pictures. With single-color furniture and wallpaper, it is worth using fabric blinds with a colorful pattern - stripes, polka dots, flowers, geometric shapes, etc. And on the contrary, if everything in the room is patterned and colorful, for example - a striped sofa and a carpet with flowers, then the curtain should be single-color.

And of course, it is worth considering the possibility of a unique design - photo prints. Photo printing on canvas will allow you to create exclusive blinds. They can have a beautiful photo of the girl, or something that she adores - favorite characters from fairy tales, books, beautiful pictures. Modern printing technologies on textiles will allow you to realize any fantasy.

Recommendations for choosing Roman blinds for a child's room

You need to choose fabric blinds for a child's room wisely - after all, you want them to last a long time, not lose their beautiful appearance, and not break. To ensure that this happens, you should follow simple recommendations when choosing:

  • Choose only high-quality fabric. The desire to save money is understandable and justified, but cheap materials quickly get dirty, collect dust, fade and lose their appearance after a year. Ideal options are natural linen and cotton.

    Experts advise choosing fabrics that are 80% natural and 20% synthetic. This composition provides curtains with dust-repellent properties, durability and resistance to fading.
  • Pay attention to the design and control method. Cord or chain - the choice is individual. It is important that during control nothing gets stuck anywhere, the canvas rises and falls easily and without delays, so that there are no creaks or other suspicious phenomena. The mechanism must work flawlessly.
  • Consider the size of the room. If there is a lot of space, it is better to choose bright, dark and colorful colors. More delicate and light shades are suitable for a small room, they will visually add space. Striped fabrics visually increase the space.
