Roman blind fitted level and secure with neat, even pleating. Whether it's lightweight or lined blackout fabric, it'll raise and lower smoothly with clean folds.
### The Soft Furnishing Look
Roman blinds give you **the softness of curtains with the practicality of blinds** - elegant pleated folds, clean lines, and simple operation. But the pleating only looks good if fitted level.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Roman blinds are heavier than they look, especially lined or blackout versions. Proper wall fixings are essential - cheap plugs aren't enough.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Multiple rooms?** Roman blinds for bedroom, living room, and study? Do them all together - I'm already there with tools and it's much more efficient. **Fabric weight:** Lined and blackout roman blinds are surprisingly heavy. Make sure your wall type can support them, especially on plasterboard. I'll advise honestly if there's a concern. **Cord safety:** If you've got young children, roman blind cords should have safety features. Make sure these are in place - I'll check during fitting.
Frequently Asked Questions about Roman blind installation in Newton Abbot
What's special about fitting roman blinds?
Roman blinds have a pleating system that needs to fold neatly. If the blind isn't hung dead level, the folds bunch up unevenly and it looks messy. Plus they're heavier than you'd think - proper fixings matter.
Can you fit them inside the window recess?
Yes - that's the most common way. The blind needs to be the right width for your recess though. I can also fit outside the recess if you prefer the look or need to cover gaps.
Do I need to buy the blind first?
Yes - you'll need to measure and order the blind to fit your window. Once it arrives, I'll fit it properly. Happy to advise on measuring if needed.
How long does one blind take to fit?
Usually 30-40 minutes per blind. If you've got multiple rooms with roman blinds, we can do them all in one visit which saves time overall.
Will the cord mechanism work smoothly?
Yes - part of fitting properly is making sure the cord system operates cleanly. I'll test the raising and lowering before finishing, and adjust if needed.
