Roman Blinds Done Properly in Greatstone for Period Properties
Fitting Roman blinds in Greatstone's period homes, from bungalows to post-war builds, requires careful consideration of their age and character. Windows in these properties, not unlike the coastline's natural shifts, often present with non-square openings. Our soft, fabric Roman blinds are meticulously crafted to the precise dimensions of each window. This bespoke approach guarantees a seamless fit, masking any imperfections in the reveal and allowing the designer cloth to drape elegantly, enhancing the aesthetic of your living space.
Roman Blinds for period properties: what we look for
Period properties almost never have square reveals. Two-hundred-year-old sashes, leaded casements and timber casements all settle, twist and wear over time — and a window dressing built to a 'standard' size will always show it.
- Every panel and drop is measured individually — most period reveals are out by 5–15 mm corner to corner.
- Café-style shutters and tier-on-tier configurations protect the original sightline in heritage properties.
- Listed-building consent is rarely required for interior fittings, but we'll provide the technical detail if you need to consult.
- Lead-light and stained-glass windows usually call for face-fix solutions that don't touch the original glazing bars.

About our roman blinds
Roman blinds give the soft, fabric look of a dressed window with the precision of a blind. They're our most popular choice for living rooms and master bedrooms where the window dressing needs to feel like part of the furniture, not just a covering.
Every Roman is hand-made: fabric is cut, lined and rod-pocketed in the workroom, then mounted onto an aluminium headrail with a smooth chain operation. Choose from blackout linings for bedrooms or interlining for an extra-luxurious finish.
