Roman Blinds Done Properly in Snargate for Period Properties
The uneven window recesses in Snargate's period homes, particularly those near the Red Lion, require a soft window treatment that can be tailored precisely. Roman Blinds, made from a wide selection of designer cloths, are hand-finished to account for any non-square reveals or varying depths. This prevents the ill-fitting look often seen with off-the-shelf options, maintaining the interior's warmth and traditional aesthetic.
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.
