Roman shades are dark. Roman blinds - features of application in the interior, photo ideas of a unique design. How to sew Roman blinds with your own hands

IN last years these comfortable, practical and presentable curtains have firmly established themselves in our home and office interiors, and are not going to leave them. But despite their popularity and wide use, many people still do not have the right idea about them, they call them "blinds" or confuse them with roller shutters and rolls. What are Roman blinds, how they look and where they are used, let's look at this article and start with the history of their origin.

History of appearance

Greek curtains first appeared about 2,000 years ago and have hardly changed since then.

There are several versions of how Roman curtains first appeared in the interior, they are also called Greek curtains or Romans. All of them look quite authentic and are connected with the events that took place more than 2,000 years ago in ancient Rome and no less ancient Greece.

According to one of the versions, initially dense canvases gathering up in even horizontal folds were used as sails on ancient Roman warships. Then one of the sailors began to close the windows in his house with them. This idea was taken up by his neighbors. Gradually, the innovation spread throughout Rome.

According to another version, the first lifting curtains in the form of huge awnings were invented to protect spectators of gladiator fights in the Colosseum from the sun. When the stadium was empty, the tents were folded into folds with strong thick ropes. Well, then, someone from the audience picked up the idea and began to use the same, but smaller designs to protect against sunlight on the windows in your house.

But most historians agree that the lifting structure of Roman blinds was invented by housewives. Trying to protect their homes from street dust flying into the windows and to keep the rooms cool on a hot stuffy day, they moistened the canvases hung on the windows with water. Because of this, the fabric became heavy, and it was difficult to lift it. Tie systems came to the rescue, allowing, if necessary, to quickly and without problems pick up fabric over a window opening.

How Roman blinds are made

As you can see in the photo of a classic Roman blind, it consists of:

• rectangular textile or non-woven fabric;
• straps-rods (cords) fixing the folds;
• weighting bottom bar;
• drawstring pocket into which straps are inserted;
• lifting mechanism.

At the same time, the mechanism for Roman blinds can be both in classic manual and in modern design― electric with the control panel. Often it can be bought to choose from, separately from the curtains. Naturally, the electric drive significantly increases the cost of the entire structure.

Like most curtains, modern "rims" are rectangular canvases made of fabric, PVC or bamboo straw, fixed to the cornice and raised and lowered using a chain or rope mechanism. The device of Roman curtains is distinguished by the presence of slats inserted into the canvas every 30-40 cm. They fix the folds and give them a geometrically even, straight shape. In some varieties, intermediate straps, with the exception of the lowest - weighting, are absent.

The Roman curtain does not rise to the very top: approximately 25-40 cm of fabric always remain lowered from the cornice, therefore, when raised as much as possible, Greek curtains resemble a lambrequin. If the canvas is completely lowered, its length will reach the window sill, but if desired, you can sew it yourself or order floor-length designer products.

In the modern version, there are several options for Roman blinds. They are united by a common method of control, when the curtain is raised with a chain or cord, gathered into horizontal folds, fixed at any convenient height and lowered, straightening it into an even canvas, and differ in the type of fold formation. Thanks to such a variety, there is always a suitable option for every interior style.

The main models of Roman blinds are as follows:

• Classic. Equipped with a rigid frame made of wooden or plastic slats. The folds are even, when lifting they overlap one another, when lowering they form an even canvas.
• Frameless. These models do not have horizontal rods, so the folds on them sag in a smooth wave towards the center.
• Cascading or, as they are also called, slouchy Roman blinds. Even when fully opened, the canvas consists of a cascade of voluminous horizontal folds, fixed on the back of the curtain with a thick tape.

Romans with a figured bottom, with a piping or bottom edge decorated with glass beads, braid, tassels or some other curtain decor have a more finished and presentable look.

Recently, another model has appeared - a double Roman blind or "Day-Night". It consists of two independently controlled canvases: dense and transparent. Natural lighting is regulated by shifting them relative to each other and fixing them in a certain position. During the day, the dense canvas is lifted, and a light flux enters the room through the transparent part of the curtain. In the evening, the dense part is lowered, and the room becomes dark. If desired, both parts can also be raised or lowered completely. And the most popular today are electric double Roman blinds, but they also cost an order of magnitude more expensive than similar products with manual control.

Before choosing Roman blinds, clearly imagine in what interior style the room is decorated, where they are supposed to be hung. Only then can you choose the right type of them and harmoniously fit into the environment.

Advantages and disadvantages of Roman blinds

With proper selection of the model and material of manufacture, Romans are good in any style. Photo of Roman curtains in the interior of a Scandinavian living room
The Greek curtain in the photo is ideally combined with curtains and lambrequins
Romans do not need a lot of space, so they are ideal for small rooms.
Thanks to universal design Roman blinds can be made from any material, such as bamboo straw
The window can be used without restrictions if you install rims separately for each sash

As mentioned above, Roman curtains, the description of which first appeared more than 2,000 years ago, still have not lost popularity, and their design has not undergone any significant changes. This circumstance is the best proof of their merits, proven not even for centuries, but for millennia. And so: the Roman blind and its pros and cons.

Advantages:

1. Versatility. With proper selection of the material of manufacture and type (classic, frameless, cascading, double), Romans can be selected for any interior and for premises of any purpose, from residential or office to industrial.
2. Compatibility. All lifting curtains are well combined with varieties from their group, as well as with sliding curtains and lambrequins. This property is actively used by designers all over the world, sometimes creating unique author's interior solutions.
3. Ergonomics. Due to the presence of a lifting mechanism, Greek curtains are easy to use. And even in cases where they look ceremonial and possibly pompous (for example, cascading options), they take up a minimum of space.
4. Diverse design. Such a design is acceptable from any woven and many non-woven materials, which in turn, as mentioned above, makes it possible to use it in rooms of any functionality. The size of the rims is also not limited in any way. On panoramic windows, their maximum width can reach 3 meters or more, and on small narrow windows they hang mini Roman blinds, from 30 cm wide.
5. Mounting versatility. You can fix all types of Roman blinds on the window sash, window opening, inside the window opening, on the wall or ceiling. This feature further expands the range of their application.

Flaws:

1. The window can only be used when the curtain is up. So, if it becomes necessary to look out the window or ventilate the room, and the canvas is lowered, you will have to completely raise it. True, this drawback does not apply to cases when Roman blinds are attached to the sashes of a plastic window.
2. Since the lifting system of rims is identical to the system of opening and closing blinds and roller shutters, they are very often called that - Roman blinds on plastic windows Or Roman rolls. It is clear that it takes longer to lower and raise them than to push them apart and draw classic curtains towards each other.
3. Sometimes when lifting panels, not all folds fit as smoothly as we would like and they have to be corrected.

It is easy to assume that the shortcomings of the Romans are relative and insignificant. It is not necessary to use window sashes, open and close them during the day, mostly in the morning and evening, and a couple of uneven folds, even if they are not corrected, are unlikely to spoil the appearance of the room.

The diverse design and versatility of Roman roller blinds make it possible to use them at will with almost no restrictions. They are suitable for any environment. But there are cases when classic long curtains cannot be hung, because they will interfere and lifting curtains become not a whim, but a necessity, namely:

• under the window is a built-in storage system or refrigerator;
• close to the window is a soft corner, bed or table;
• the window sill is used as a table or an extra bed;
• the kitchen window is located in working area and under it is a table, sink or stove;
• input or interior doors equipped with glass inserts and they need to be closed and decorated in the same style with window openings;
• there are many windows in the room and the use of classic long curtains on each of them leads to an overabundance of textiles in the interior;
• small children and animals love to play with long curtains which not only spoils appearance portieres, but also unsafe for the "gamblers" themselves.

In all these cases, feel free to choose Roman blinds for plastic windows. They will become best solution of all possible.

All of the above can be attributed to any lifting curtains, so when choosing window decoration we often face the question of what is better Roman curtains or roller blinds and what is their difference.

Rimki and roller shutters on one window - beautiful, practical, functional

The decision depends only on your vision of the room's furnishings, since they are approximately the same in terms of convenience, functionality, mounting and control methods. At the same time, Roman blinds look more comfortable and homely, and roller blinds look more strict, but at the same time creative, especially when we are talking about rolls with photo printing, on which you can place any picture. For those who are not able to decide how to make the right choice, there is a great way out: hang both types on the window. The result will be similar to a Roman blind day and night and will certainly please and surprise you.

What are roman blinds?

And only at the end of the 18th century were widespread and mass production. For hundreds of years of its existence, the design of Roman blinds has not changed much.

They lower and raise the curtains for a special cord or chain located on the side of the canvas. In this case, from the wrong side, the cord passes through the ring. This makes it possible to fix the curtain fabric at the desired level. Such a quite simple mechanism is very reliable and suitable for both light fabrics and heavy ones. Roman blinds have two tailoring options:

• classic tailoring - in this version, Roman blinds have folds that overlap one another, only when assembled. When unfolded, the curtain looks like a flat canvas;

For example, they are in perfect harmony with translucent and light organza. Such curtains will beautifully complement curtains that match them in color. You can decorate Roman blinds with an original lambrequin at the top or scallops at the bottom.

Curtains themselves can be sewn from dense fabrics such as brocade, velvet or tapestry. blackout curtains help to hide the room from the hot daytime sun and in the evening from the prying eyes of passers-by. Translucent Roman curtains made of light fabrics look more romantic and sophisticated in the interior of the living room, with them the interior will be light and airy. For example, interesting option can become curtains from cambric or organza. In addition, the fabric for Roman blinds can be chosen both plain and with a pattern. It depends on the style and color scheme in which the living room is decorated.

When choosing the color of Roman blinds, they are most often guided by the color of the walls. If you want to focus on the curtains, give preference to curtains a few tones darker or lighter than the wall decoration. If there is a pattern or pattern on the walls, then it is better to choose plain curtains. And so that they do not seem too boring, you can take a textured fabric, for example, jacquard, which looks rich and elegant. Conversely, in the background plain walls curtains with a pattern will look great, which will become an accent element. Bright Roman curtains with a pattern look quite interesting in bright living rooms, where there are shades of white.

For example, for a minimalist living room, striped Roman blinds can be recommended, in which dark and light stripes alternate. Such curtains look especially impressive on wide windows. Due to their conciseness and simplicity, these curtains can organically complement the living room in Provence or country style.

Choosing the right Roman blinds

Undoubtedly, Roman blinds are both practical and beautiful. They make the interior of the living room sophisticated in daytime and emphasize the style in the evening. But this can only be achieved if the curtains are chosen correctly. How to do this, a definite answer cannot be given. But we will give some recommendations from designers.

• For a small living room with little daylight, it is best to choose Roman blinds made from light fabrics in light shades. Such curtains will not attract attention and will not visually make the room heavier. They can be supplemented with transparent organza, which will give the room airiness, freshness and dynamism.
• In a spacious, large living room, Roman curtains made of thick fabric in combination with the same curtains will be excellent. This will fill the room with comfort and warmth. The interior of the room with such curtains seems to be imbued with peace and tranquility.
• Sophistication of the atmosphere can be added by Roman curtains with a pattern that repeats the pattern of wall decoration. This combination and design is typical for a classic living room.
