Project Spotlight: Velvet Roman Blinds in Welwyn Garden City

For this living room project in Welwyn Garden City, returning client Nick Fulton wanted to elevate the space with window treatments that seamlessly complemented the room’s rich, deep navy painted walls. We crafted and installed bespoke Roman blinds using a striking dark patterned velvet. The weight and texture of the velvet create beautiful, crisp folds when the blinds are raised, while the dark pattern adds a layer of sophisticated warmth that perfectly grounds the bold navy aesthetic of the room.

Unidrape Blinds and Interiors Welwyn Garden City FAQs Ask the experts

Question: Are Roman blinds a good choice for living rooms?

Answer:

Yes. Roman blinds offer a soft, tailored look that provides excellent privacy and light control. They are highly versatile and take up less visual space than full-length curtains, making them ideal for both cozy and expansive living areas.

Question: Does velvet work well for Roman blinds?

Answer:

Velvet is an exceptional choice for Roman blinds. Its heavier weight allows the fabric to dress beautifully into neat, structured folds. Additionally, velvet provides excellent natural insulation and adds a luxurious, tactile finish to the room.

Question: How should you match window treatments with dark painted walls?

Answer:

When working with deep wall colors like navy, you have two primary design routes. You can either select a fabric that closely matches the wall color for a seamless, color-drenched effect, or choose a patterned fabric that incorporates the dark tones alongside complementary shades, which adds depth and visual interest without breaking the room’s cohesive feel.
