The Ultimate Guide to Roman Blind Lining
Roman blind lining probably isn’t your first thought when coming to design your made to measure roman blinds, but it’s a super important feature as the lining can give your blinds an extra layer of protection from sunlight and also help retain heat inside your home. So, what is roman blind lining? Roman blind lining is a fabric attached to the back of a blind that can help retain heat or reduce light. We know it can be confusing trying to decide which lining is right for your home, so we have put together a guide to each lining type to help you choose.
Which lining should I choose for my roman blinds?
We’ve made it easy to choose the right lining for your made to measure roman blinds. Choose from just two different lining types when designing your window apparel with Stitched - - - bonded lining and blackout bonded lining. We’ve kept it simple with just these two options as they give a luxurious finish to your roman blinds, protect the fabric and make the blinds nice and full. We’ve outlined the benefits of both roman blind lining types below to help you choose which is right for your windows. Alternatively, for a blind where privacy or colour is the aim, you can also leave your fabric unlined.
Unlined roman blinds
A wonderfully simple and affordable option. At Stitched, we make your roman blind using your selected fabric only. The unlined finish is a great choice for showing off the natural beauty and form of your fabric. Unlined roman blinds are best suited for thicker fabrics, as without a lining or with the wrong fabric, roman blinds can look thin or flimsy. However for a relaxed look or for privacy blinds, our Sheer fabrics or Relaxed Linen fabric works beautifully as an unlined roman blind.
Bonded lining for roman blinds
A sumptuous, padded lining is stitched onto the back of your selected fabric before making your roman blind. The bonded lining gives a fuller, more luxurious look than the unlined finish, but not only that, it provides additional insulation. The lining adds weight to the blind, which means that the blind hangs beautifully and more heat is retained in the colder months. Bonded lining works with any of our fabrics for made to measure roman blinds.
Bonded blackout lining for roman blinds
Bonded blackout lining is the same as our bonded lining for roman blinds… but you know, blackout! This lining option is perfect for a blackout bedroom and adding a thermal layer to your roman blinds. Pair with one of our Wool fabrics for a beautifully tailored, insulating addition to your windows.
Looking for lined curtains?
Our made to measure curtains are offered with a choice of five different lining types. From blackout to thermal lining, you can create a pair of made to measure curtains that are just right for your home. Take a look at our guide to curtain lining to help you decide on the best option for you. Similar to blinds, you can always leave them unlined if it’s just some privacy or sun-blocking that’s required! Our Sheer fabrics lend themselves perfectly to this option.
