Many of these fine fabric roman blinds are available with beads and sequins sewn onto them or incorporated into pointed tassel ends to move away from the normal straight edges.

Roman blinds made from sensuous faux silks are available in a wide variety of bright vibrant colours as well as dark sexy blacks and browns.

It is possible to buy roman blinds which offer a choice to which side the draw strings are on, alternatively they can be changed over by re-threading the blind. Roman blind kits provide all the necessary parts, except the fabric, required to make a bespoke roman blind at home, the choice of which side the draw cords are fixed is then simply a matter of personal choice.
