What are lined Roman blinds?

Lined Roman blinds take your window treatments to the next level. After selecting your made to measure fabric, you can choose a lining that's sewn onto the back, bringing both style and practicality to your blinds. 

These linings protect the face fabric, sheilding it from sunlight, dust, and wear, while also enhancing how your blinds hang. The benefits don't stop there! Linings also improve functionality, offering light control, sound absorption, or even energy efficiency. 

Whether you're after a blackout effect for a peaceful bedroom, or thermal insulation to keep your living room cosy, lined Roman blinds deliver on both looks and performance, making them a practical and elegant choice for any room. 

How do Roman blind linings work?

Beyond improving structure and protecting the face fabric of your blind, Roman blind linings can also work to add extra functionality to your blind depending on the type of lining chosen. For example, blackout linings are perfect for blocking out light in bedrooms, creating a serene sleeping space. Thermal linings, on the other hand, help regulate temperature by trapping heat in winter and reducing draughts. 

It's worth noting that not all Roman blinds require a lining. Sheer and voile fabrics, for instance are designed to remain unlined, in order to allow natural light to filter through offering a lightweight and airy finish. With the right lining, Roman blinds become versatile, practical and tailored to your needs. 

The different types of Roman blind linings

Roman blind linings come in a variety of options, each designed to offer unique benefits. Whether you're after light control, energy efficiency, or added luxury, there's a lining to suit your needs.

Standard lining

Standard linings are made from a durable polycotton twill fabric, featuring a diagonal ribbed weave for a fabulous finish. Standard lining improves the hang and structure of Roman blinds while protecting the face fabric from dust and fading for a light-filtering finish.

They're ideal for living spaces or rooms that get limited daylight, where you'd like to softyl diffuse natural light rather than blocking it out entirely. Discover our Roman blinds available with standard lining here. 

Thermal lining

Thermal linings take energy efficiency to new heights. A special coating creates an insulating barrier, keeping rooms warm in winter and cool in summer. These linings also block more light than standard options and reduce draughts for a snug home environment. 

Perfect for draughty spaces or rooms with large windows, thermal linings are both practical and cost-effective. Explore our thermal-lined Roman blinds here! 

Blackout lining

Blackout linings block out almost all natural light, making them a top choice for bedrooms or media rooms. They also protect furniture and flooring from UV damage, while providing added thermal insulation thanks to their increased weight when compared with standard lining. 

Whether you're looking to improve sleep, or create a cinema-like setting, blackout linings are a versatile, functional choice. Shop all blackout-lined Roman blinds now.
