Types of Roman Blinds
Traditional Roman Blind
As the name suggests, these blinds match the style used when Roman Blinds were first created. They are made with a cord which controls the fabric being stacked up or down the window.

Revolution Roman Blind
The ‘Revolution’ Roman Blind came later and is chain controlled which makes it ideal for wider windows or when using heavier weight fabrics.
