Why choose roman blinds?
Classic elegance for all décors
If you are looking for a practical, space-saving solution for your windows but would still like the elegance and versatility of curtains, then Roman Blinds are the perfect solution. With endless options for fabric designs and colours roman blinds can suit most décors, and are especially good for rooms with tight spaces around the windows such kitchens, bathrooms, studies and hallways due to their space saving style.
Reflect your style with fabric
Just like curtains, roman blinds can be made from a wide variety of fabrics to reflect your personal style. Choose from our stylish and affordable Metro range or the extensive New Zealand or International Design House ranges. Match them with your existing décor for a cohesive look, or create a striking contrast for a bolder statement.
Do roman blinds fit inside or outside the window frame?
Outside the window recess
Roman blinds fitted to cover outside the window frame recess provide greater levels of light control are perfect for bedrooms or media rooms. Blockout lining should be used with the roman blind’s fabric to ensure maximum light control.
Inside the recess
Roman blinds fitted inside the window frame recess are ideal where space around the window frame is an issue for example in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways or studies. Alternatively, they can be used inside the frame when hung in addition to curtains to provide an elegant classic look in living rooms.
Roman blind styles
There are several stacking options available when making roman blinds which impact how the blinds appear when raised or let down. The most popular of these are the Flat Stack roman blind and the Layered roman blind finish.
Flat Stack Finish
This blind features spines at the back. When raised the folds form and stack neatly in a flat stack formation at the bottom of the blind.
Layered (waterfall) finish
For a softer finish, the waterfall style allows the folds to cascade when raised. This option works beautifully with plain or textured fabrics, adding a gentle, flowing effect.
Relaxed (European)
The relaxed style features a soft curve at the bottom (often called a "soft smile") and is rod-free. This creates a more casual, serene feel, perfect for nurseries, children’s rooms, or even living areas for a chic, laid-back look.
Operating options
Motorised
For the ultimate in convenience, automated roman blinds are the perfect solution and can be retrofitted into existing homes via battery operation, or hardwired for new builds and renovations. Sophisticated, sleek and safe finish with no cords or chains hanging down.
Cord
For manual operation, a cord with a cleat hook and a selection of acorns to choose from offers a cost-effective, stylish solution.
Chain-driven
For a sleeker, more contemporary look chain-driven roman blinds are a good, practical solution. Available in both plastic and metal and fitted with tensioners for child and pet safety.

The store’s policy of letting you take samples home is incredibly helpful, and their staff are always open and eager to assist. The installer was also impressive: quick, tidy, and professional. Highly recommend!
Aliza, Auckland
Excellent service. We have used Lahood for all of our curtains and blinds in our house and our rental studio since 2015. We are very impressed with their design advice, the quality of the fabrics and blinds. The installer has done an excellent job as well in following the design consultant's instructions (Sharlene) to make the blinds block out the light. We highly recommend Lahood and the entire team. If we ever shift house we will use Lahood again
