Many people mistakenly believe that roll structures are only suitable for rooms designed in a modern style with prevailing minimalist trends. But this is not true. In addition to universal aesthetic characteristics, these curtains have many functional advantages.
Window in the living room
Roller blind mechanism
Curtains with a rising smooth canvas provide the most effective protection of the window opening from the sun's rays. When raised, they are invisible and allow light to freely penetrate into the room, slightly dissipating in the presence of light transparent curtains. But in the morning or evening hours, the lowered canvas will create a pleasant twilight for relaxation.
Their operation and installation are extremely simple:
- the roll structure is fixed with an adhesive backing on the window frame; the lighting intensity is adjusted using a chain located in the side of the canvas.
The mechanism for roller blinds of Roman curtains is almost identical. The main design elements are:
- dense fabric performs a protective function; shaft: for winding the fabric; side profiles that regulate the geometrically correct position of the structure; plumb line that maintains the smooth surface of the fabric and prevents wrinkles.
Fastening to a window frame is a simple and quick installation method that does not require the use of special tools or drilling holes. But the curtains are fixed both on the upper side of the window opening and on the ceiling. True, in this case it will not be possible to do without dowels and screws.
The functional system for roller blinds is simple and understandable, which ensures uninterrupted operation of roller blinds for a long time. But preventive maintenance service won’t hurt: curtain mechanisms need to be periodically treated with specialized products containing silicone. If the system fails, fittings and spare parts for roller blinds can be found in a large hardware store.
Mounting methods
One classification is based on the method of fastening.
- Mini cornice. The curtain is attached directly to the window frame. Such a mount saves space and is especially often used in small apartments, as well as in apartments decorated in a minimalist style. With this type of fastening, the window sill is not covered with a curtain, but remains free, and can be used as a desk, bench, shelf for books, flowers, or in any other way.
- Classic mounting option. Large curtains are attached to such a cornice (standard size 1.5 x 1.8 meters). Mounted on the wall above the window. A lowered curtain is adjacent to the wall and takes up less space in the room than a traditional curtain.
- Difficult. For dormer or arched windows, a special design has been developed with a beveled or curved cornice. For this type of window, using Roman blinds is an excellent decoration solution.
Look at other options for attaching curtains to the cornice.
Roman blind mechanism
This type of protective curtain has come down to us unchanged since the times of the Roman Empire. The resourceful and enterprising Romans “borrowed” the mechanism of roller blinds from one of the peoples who lived in the territories they conquered.
Today these curtains are experiencing a rebirth. Due to their external characteristics, protective qualities and the ability to be combined with thick curtains or light tulle in a textile ensemble, Roman blinds are increasingly installed in residential and commercial premises.
Let's take a closer look at this mechanism for curtains. Roman drop curtains are a sheet of fabric divided by vertical strips of rigid material into equal sections. For reliable fixation, preservation of the aesthetic appeal of the fabric and the formation of correct, uniform folds, “stiffening ribs” are sewn in with special narrow fabric covers.

The lower edge of the canvas is secured with a plumb-weight.
The principle of operation of the Roman curtain and horizontal blinds is similar. When the adjusting chain is pulled, the curtain rises, forming beautiful horizontal folds. The curtain is fixed at the desired height, leaving more or less of the window open.
So, the mechanism for Roman blinds consists of:
- Made of light-proof fabric. The upper part of the structure is an aluminum profile equipped with a lifting mechanism. Adjustment chain. Weighting material along the lower edge. Fastening system.
A distinctive feature of curtains (if we take roller blinds for comparison) is the method of attaching the protective fabric.
The fabric for Roman blinds is fixed to an adhesive textile strip located on the front of the lifting structure. It is easy to remove for cleaning and ironing. They often order several canvases of different colors, textures or patterns (but the same size) in order to be able to transform the interior in a matter of seconds by changing the design of the window opening.
Roller and Roman blinds in the interior
The use of various materials in the manufacture of light-proof fabrics makes it possible to select and organically combine roller blinds and Roman blinds with any interior style. Let's look at the most common types of interior decoration:
- The quality, hidden luxury and reliability of the classic style will be emphasized by rich and textured fabric for roller blinds: velvet, jacquard or chenille. Modern trends are combined with synthetic fibers. An original solution would be to combine fabrics with different textures in one product, applying avant-garde designs or asymmetrical prints to the surface. Eco-style and rural motifs will highlight natural materials: linen and cotton fabrics. The natural wooden surfaces of the furniture set will be “reflected” in the use of bamboo or wooden weaving for roller blinds.
The design of the straight fabric allows for the presence of decorative details only along the edge at the bottom of the curtain - these are various types of edging. Apart from varying sizes, there are no other decorative elements for smooth rising fabric. Therefore, the main emphasis is on the surface of the material: texture, color and pattern.
If you are conservative and prefer to use textile ensembles in the design of the window opening, add thin tulle curtains or muslin to the set. In this case, the main decorative load will fall on light and openwork materials; roll structures will be used more for protective than aesthetic functions.
When combining curtains with tulle, choose plain roller curtains that match the color of the decor of the interior space, but are radically different in shade from translucent curtains. Otherwise, against the background of the lowered protective fabric, the decorative elements of the tulle will be lost.
The main arguments determining the choice of this type of protective curtains are:
- reasonable price; the ability to order curtains for any window size; applying an image to the surface of the fabric (even according to your personal sketches);
WATCH VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS
The pattern applied even to a small roller blind fabric also affects the visual perception of space. Vertical lines on light fabric will raise the upper boundaries of the room, horizontal stripes will increase the width.
- versatility: both in combination with other types of curtains and with the interior decor of the room; aesthetic appeal. A correctly selected print on the flat surface of a Roman or roller curtain material can become the main color accent of the room.
The Roman storm seemed not to have touched them.
They, like several centuries ago, continue to decorate the interior. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s a classic or something more modern and innovative. Roman curtains deservedly occupy a leading place in the top ten most popular window decoration elements.
For several centuries they have been a true decoration of the home. Roman paintings, as before, are unchanged in their appearance and structure. Neither the mechanism for Roman shades nor the curtains themselves have changed much.
The only thing that makes them more perfect than those models that were popular and in demand during the times of the Roman patricians is modern additions and improved details.
Roman blinds are easy to create at home - make your own mechanism from parts that are lying around in your “construction chest”, but you shouldn’t do this. It is enough to trust professionals and manufacturing companies that create products that are not only of high quality, but also ideally compatible with curtains. We all know that a perfectly selected cornice is a guarantee of long-lasting service and a harmonious appearance of the entire system.
Features and Benefits
To begin with, it doesn’t hurt to figure out what Roman blinds are , what they are made of, and thanks to what properties they have earned such wide popularity. The history of such products begins in Ancient Rome, where such window decoration was available only to the wealthiest segments of the population. It was always very hot and sunny there, and the most enterprising and resourceful people came up with the idea of using thick pieces of fabric to protect their home from the scorching rays of the sun. According to another version , in the hot Italian climate of those years, with an abundance of stone houses, it was unbearably dusty, and in order not to let dust into the house, women began to hang wet pieces of fabric. But in order to be able to take advantage of the window opening, they made the design of such curtains sailing. This idea is the basis of modern Roman blinds.
Today, a Roman blind is a piece of fabric, the top edge of which is folded, and an insert is threaded there, which is then attached to a special cornice. The bottom edge of the fabric is equipped with a small weighting agent to ensure that the curtain maintains its correct shape. Special hard inserts are inserted into the fabric at a certain distance from each other. It is they who help the curtain gather into spectacular folds when it is raised, and when the curtain is closed, these inserts are not noticeable, and the fabric simply tightly closes the window opening from the rays of the sun and the views of strangers. The Roman blind can be lowered completely, plunging the room into twilight, raised completely, letting in the maximum amount of light, or left somewhere in the middle, regulating the flow of sunlight.
The design features of Roman blinds provide a huge number of advantages :
- space saving . Since a Roman blind is a small piece of fabric that takes up little space when folded or unfolded, it will not take up space, which is typical, for example, for massive curtains. That is why it is advantageous to equip rooms that are not very large in area with curtains that will cope with all the necessary functions, but at the same time take up a minimum of usable space;
. Although there are several options for controlling Roman blinds, which we will talk about later, they are all extremely convenient and easy to manage. In order to open the curtains, you just need to pull the cord, which will immediately activate the entire structure. Even a child can handle this, which is why Roman blinds often become a decoration for children’s rooms as well;
ease of operation- ease of care. Since Roman blinds require little fabric, they do not collect much dust. In addition, there are models that are additionally impregnated with special substances that repel dust and dirt - an excellent option for rooms such as the kitchen. If the curtain has become a little dirty, then it is simply removed from the curtain rod and carefully washed - that’s all the care;
- the laconicism of the form is another plus of Roman blinds. There are no unnecessary elements here, and the main trump card is strict geometry combined with the formation of spectacular folds;
- The ability to combine with any type of interior gives Roman blinds a special versatility. In addition, they can be combined with other types of window opening decorations, for example, with hailstones - the result is quite unusual and stylish. This option solves all the issues when, for example, you need a lot of light in the room, but a completely open window leaves a feeling of discomfort and insecurity;
- Roman blinds reliably protect from the sun, prying eyes from the street, trap heat in summer and cold in winter , so they cope with the functions assigned to the curtains with a bang;
- variety of possible colors and designs . You can choose any pattern for your curtains, even make an individual order. In addition, for rooms that are too sunny, you can choose thicker curtains, and for shady rooms, translucent ones, which will serve more as a decorative element than as a functional one;
- ease of installation , since Roman blinds can be attached to the ceiling, walls, and even to the window.
Cord mechanism
The cord mechanism is rightfully considered the most “experienced” in terms of its service life.
It is precisely this system that was equipped with curtains that were first used by the ancient Romans thousands of years ago. The basis of the design is an interconnected system of cords, which controls the curtain. If desired, such a mechanism can be made independently.
Its production capacity is 4 kg. If your Roman blades are heavier and the weight indicator exceeds 4 kg, then the cord mechanism cannot be used for control. It is designed simply, but this does not prevent it from being durable and reliable.
Mechanism features:
- easy to operate; reliable and durable to use; designed to control small fabrics; easy to repair.
Rotor-chain mechanism
The rotary-chain mechanism is the most popular option for controlling Roman blades today. The fabric sheet is lowered and raised using a chain control system. The tape, which is fixed to the canvas, stretches due to the movement of the block, which operates with the help of a chain.
In terms of the chain action system, this mechanism is very similar to the previous version. Its difference is the size and weight of the canvas that it can control. The cornice allows you to hold the curtains and easily set them into mechanical movement if their weight reaches 7 kg, but not more.
Motorized mechanism
The motorized way to operate Roman blinds is the most advanced option available on the market.
Everything is on the verge of fantasy: one press of the remote control button - and the canvas independently moves up and down. In addition to the remote control, it can be controlled using a wall unit. Everything happens automatically and easily.
The main advantage of this design is the absence of restrictions on the weight and size of Roman canvases. The automated design is an ideal use case when the curtains are mounted on high windows, sometimes even difficult to reach.
Dependence of the mechanism on the type of window
Do you have small windows?
This means that your Roman curtains are also small. What about the mechanism? In this case, the simplest and most uncomplicated option will do.
Attach the flat strip to the window frame using special fasteners. The standard option for a regular window is a Roman blind 180 centimeters long and 150 centimeters wide. In this case, the basis of such a system can be a mechanism of any type. It’s good when the windows are ideal sizes and even, but what to do if they are located in an inclined plane? For example, roof windows under the roof are always slightly inclined in their upper part.
It is very important to choose the right mechanism for such windows. This should be a system that allows the structure to be rotated in relation to the cornice at an angle of 45 degrees. For the system to function smoothly, the control cord must be strictly vertical.
The circular chain control allows the curtains to be raised and lowered an unlimited number of times.
The control principle is as follows: the chain moves in a circle. The movement of the chain is ensured by the gearbox. Thus, the Roman curtain can be fixed at absolutely any height of its rise.
Choosing the optimal mechanism for Roman blinds is simply necessary, because today they are especially popular: they are used in any living space, they are indispensable in the kitchen. There are several types of such devices, differing in complexity, ease of operation, appearance and price. Please note that most mechanisms have restrictions on weight, fabric width and height.

What do you need to prepare for work?
Before you start, you need to buy and prepare:
A piece of fabric - the fabric must be dense so as not to sag and keep its shape; Adhesive web tape 0.5 mm-1 cm wide on a paper base; Auxiliary materials: chalk, scissors, ruler, tape measure; Brush and glue for fabric (sold in any sewing store, but you can also take “Moment for Shoes” or “Moment Crystal” glue); Any plastic blinds that fit the width of your window (old blinds will do, even with chips and broken slats, the main thing is that the lifting mechanism is in working condition); Iron and gauze as an ironing iron.
Types of mechanisms
The following lifting and lowering mechanisms are used in Roman curtains:
The cord mechanism, known since ancient Roman times, is simple and reliable. You can make it yourself and easily repair it if it malfunctions. However, it is not suitable for large and heavy products.
If Roman blinds weigh more than 3-4 kg, it is better to choose another option. Another disadvantage of this option is that when you raise the curtains, you need to somehow fix the cord every time. This may not look very aesthetically pleasing. The chain-cord mechanism is more complex and advanced.
It also has restrictions on the weight of the fabric, but is more convenient to manage. Raising and lowering is carried out using a circular chain. Using a gearbox allows you to smoothly move the curtain and fix it at any height.
Installed in a closed cornice, such a mechanism has no restrictions on the type of fabric. The chain-tape mechanism, with the same ease of use, allows you to control heavier curtains. However, the rather large lifting carriages on which the tapes are wound cannot be covered with the curtain rod profile. Because of this, it is recommended to use such a mechanism only if the Roman shades are made of opaque fabric. If you want to give the room the most modern look, choose a mechanism with an electric drive.
It is recommended to use the electric drive and, if necessary, operate very large curtains. In this case, there are practically no restrictions on weight and size; you just need to select the appropriate model and drive power. The mechanism is activated using a control unit mounted on the wall or a remote control.

There are also mechanisms for special conditions of use.
In particular, Roman blinds can also cover sloping roof windows. To do this, they are deflected to the required angle using guides. If the slope of the guides is small and the curtain does not descend along them under its own weight, a mechanism may be provided to force it down.
A collection of practical tips
Having studied the structural features of all existing control mechanisms, we can conclude that there are differences between them and they are significant. Therefore, when choosing a mechanism for Roman blinds, we suggest following several practical tips. The main selection criterion is the conditions of use and the type of curtain fabric.
Advice one
Are your windows standard? Are the curtains on them small in size? They can be controlled using one of two mechanisms.
- fashionable design;
- optimal operation;
- does not require fixing the cord;
- more convenient than other options.
Tip two
Are your curtains made from permeable or semi-permeable fabrics? Use a cord mechanism to control them. If, on the contrary, the fabric is heavy and dense, for example velor or teak, then weighing should be carried out. Having determined the mass of the web, carry out an analysis: if its mass exceeds 4 kg, you should definitely choose chain control.
Tip three
Small window? Will the curtain be installed on the window sash or frame? The ideal option is a cord mechanism. Takes up minimal space, but is maximally functional, ensuring smooth movement of the curtain.
Tip four
Are your windows “impressive” sizes? Are they sometimes difficult to get to? In this case, only automated control. Only a motorized mechanism can support curtains of enormous weight. The aluminum alloys underlying the structure allow it to undergo an unlimited number of manipulations with massive canvases.
Roman blinds are a self-sufficient decorative element. They are rich in fabrics, types of curtain rods and control mechanisms. Their diversity opens up incredible opportunities for the most sophisticated buyers and interior designers. The range of control mechanisms for Roman blinds is very extensive and multifaceted. Today, everyone can choose something special for individual curtain fabric models. Management mechanisms can be different: authentic and modern. Those that came to us from Ancient Rome and became more improved, or those that were revived thanks to the ideas of a new generation of engineers.

Making a mechanism for Roman blinds
Today it is possible to make a control system for Roman blinds with your own hands.
To make the mechanism of Roman blinds with your own hands, you can use the profile of a regular cornice or a block covered with fabric. You can simply attach the Velcro to the frame or window opening. Depending on the width of the window, several lifting cords will be required.
They are attached approximately every 50-70 cm, so a standard window needs 3 cords. The length of each should be no less than twice the height of the window. In addition, the first one is extended by the width of the window, the second by half of it.
The third one does not need to be extended. Along the entire height of the curtains, strips are fixed at intervals of 20 to 40 cm. They can be made from window beads or other thin slats and placed in specially made pockets.
Plastic rings are attached to the intermediate strips. They are put on the strip or attached to the pocket in which it is inserted. The side rings are attached at a distance of 2-3 cm from the edge of the fabric.
The cords are tied to the weight bar and passed through the rings. The top of the curtain can be attached to the curtain rod with Velcro. To do this, the soft part of the fastener is sewn onto the top edge, and the hard part is secured to the cornice using glue or a construction stapler. You can sew both parts of the Velcro to the curtain so that you can fasten them to each other, wrapping the curtain rod.
Eyelets (rings) are attached to the cornice or behind it, one for each cord. Another eyelet is installed on the edge where the lifting cord will descend. Cords are passed through the rings.
A tourniquet assembled from all the cords descends through the outer eye. Sometimes they are woven into a braid or simply tied into a knot. A bracket or hook should be attached to the wall at the bottom of the window to secure the harness when the curtain is raised. For this purpose, you can make a special knot on the harness, attach a fixing bar, ring or hook. It will also be interesting: Choosing curtains: curtains with grommets Craftsmen come up with other options.
Every housewife can sew a Roman blind from blinds with her own hands. In this case, the rings and cornice for the Roman curtain will not be needed. Save Roman curtains are a universal assistant in creating coziness for any room. Let's look at what adjustment mechanisms curtains can have and what fabric they are made from.
Types of Roman curtains
In the photo from left to right there are roller curtains (1), frameless (2), classic (3) and cascading (4) models.
In modern versions, there are several options for Roman blinds. They are united by a common method of control, when the curtain is raised using a chain or cord, collected in horizontal folds, secured at any convenient height and lowered, straightening it into a flat sheet, and they differ in the type of formation of folds. Thanks to such diversity, there is always a suitable option for every interior style.
The main models of Roman blinds are as follows:
- Classic. Equipped with a rigid frame made of wooden or plastic slats. The folds are even, when rising they overlap one another, and when lowering they form an even sheet.
- Frameless. These models do not have horizontal rods, so the folds on them sag in a smooth wave towards the center.
- Cascading or, as they are also called, Roman blinds with an overlap. Even when fully opened, the canvas consists of a cascade of voluminous horizontal folds, fixed on the back side of the curtain with thick tape.
Romans with a figured bottom, with a piping or lower edge decorated with glass beads, braid, tassels or some other curtain decor have a more finished and presentable appearance.

It is enough to attach the fringe and the curtain will acquire an oriental charm.
Recently, another model has appeared - the double Roman blind or “Day-Night”. It consists of two independently controlled canvases: dense and transparent. Natural lighting is adjusted by moving them relative to each other and fixing them in a certain position. During the day, the thick fabric is raised, and light flows into the room through the transparent part of the curtain. In the evening, the dense part is lowered, and the room becomes dark. If desired, both parts can also be raised or lowered completely. And the most popular today are double Roman blinds with electric drive, but they also cost an order of magnitude more than similar products with manual controls.
Before choosing Roman blinds, clearly imagine the interior style of the room where you plan to hang them. Only then will you be able to choose the right type and fit it harmoniously into the environment.
Introduction to Roman blinds
Roman blinds are a type of curtains that are made from solid fabric.
Their uniqueness lies in the fact that they are assembled into identical folds of a wave-like format. This type is used in different style solutions, ranging from classic to modern. They are suitable for kitchens, offices, living rooms, bedrooms and corridors.
The first acquaintance with Roman curtains occurred back in the days of Ancient Rome, when they were used for draping window openings.
What fabric are they made from?
The fabric used for Roman curtains varies, depending on the personal preferences of the customers and the location of the room. If the windows of the room face south, preference should be given to dark and dense materials. Blackout material is also perfect because it provides darkening. If the room is on the north side, you should give preference to light curtains made of translucent fabric.
It is better to use only those curtains that are made from natural materials: cotton, viscose or linen. When choosing a fabric, the functional purpose of the curtains is of great importance. For kitchen areas, material with the addition of synthetics is used, since such products require regular washing. Dense materials are purchased for the nursery and bedroom, which will create twilight, if necessary. It is better to decorate windows in a room with high humidity using curtains treated with special impregnations.
Types of mechanisms for adjustment
There are several control systems for Roman blinds:
Cordoba. The design is based on a system of cords that controls the curtain.
The mechanism can withstand curtains weighing 4 kg. Rotary-chain. The most up-to-date control system. The canvas can be raised and lowered using a special chain.
The system can support curtains weighing a maximum of 7 kg. Motorized. You can adjust the curtains with one click on the remote control. The process is automated and is used if it is difficult to get to the window for constant adjustment.
The choice of fastening mechanism depends on the personal preferences and capabilities of buyers and the design solution of the room.
Instructions for proper installation
Whatever method is chosen, the main thing is to correctly and evenly mark the fastening points so that the Roman blinds hang vertically, perpendicular to the ceiling and floor. There is no clear answer to the question of how Roman blinds are attached. The technology depends on the chosen method.
The photo shows a diagram of how to attach the product to a ceiling or wall.
How to attach with self-tapping screws?
The technology involves screwing the structure directly to the ceiling or wall with self-tapping screws. The curtains are attached according to the step-by-step instructions:
- The guide is applied to the surface, and marks are placed at the locations where the fasteners are installed.
- Holes are drilled according to the markings. In this case, their diameter should not be greater than the diameter of the screw thread.
- The screws are screwed into the mounting sockets. In this case, you need someone to hold the curtain along the markings.
Installation instructions are also included. After completing the procedure, you need to check the lifting mechanism.
How to hang on mounting brackets?
In this case, the algorithm of actions looks like this:
- The level determines the horizontal line on which the places for drilling are measured using a tape measure. To maintain the correct geometric shapes, the strip is drawn parallel to the window sill. The points for the holes are marked with a pencil, pen or marker.
- Using a drill with a drill, holes are drilled for the screws. A special feature of concrete structures is the use of a hammer drill and a drill with a pobedit tip. It is important not to hit the fittings. Brick, wood and other less durable materials can be drilled with conventional tools.
- Self-tapping screws are screwed into the plastic dowels placed in the holes, which come complete with Roman blinds, which are attached using special brackets.
If you don’t have the desire or ability to hammer into a wall or make holes in it, you can abandon this technology and use other methods.
No-Drilling Mounting Options
There are special brackets on sale that allow you to attach Roman blinds directly to the window sash. And some models of Roman blinds are supplied with special Velcro.
Installation using universal fastenings for opening sashes
In this case they are attached like this:
- Markings are applied (on the sash and curtain guide).
- Universal fastenings are installed.
- Magnets are attached to the curtain guide with glue.
- The entire structure is suspended with magnets.
The advantages of this method are ease of dismantling for cleaning curtains from dust and washing windows. The downside is the impossibility of installing heavy, massive curtains.
An alternative to this method is to use a stapler. In this case, the curtains are shot with staples directly to the sash. But in this way they are attached only to wooden structures. A construction stapler will not penetrate metal-plastic material.
How to hang a curtain with Velcro?
To do this, you also need to pre-mark the attachment points. After this, the step-by-step procedure looks like this:
- One strip of Velcro, cut to the size of the curtains, is attached to the surface of the wall, ceiling, frame or sash using a construction stapler.
- Another strip of textile Velcro is sewn to the Roman blinds. The main thing is that the stripes match. You can do this across the entire width of the strip.
- The curtains are attached by pressing two Velcro components.
The advantages of the method are the same - easy installation and dismantling during the period of major cleaning of the room.
Proper washing of curtains
Roman blinds can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, but the products can also be washed. When washing in a washing machine, it is not recommended to fill the drum completely. You should select a delicate rinse mode and spin at low speeds.
It is imperative to pull out the slats before washing in the machine. Linen curtains are washed by hand after pre-soaking. Curtains will be an excellent option for decorating any room, and caring for them will not be difficult. To buy Roman blinds, go to the TAM.BY catalog, where you will find companies that offer both ready-made options and custom-made ones.

Free fixation
You can attach Roman blinds to plastic windows in other ways, however, they are not aesthetically pleasing or easy to use:
- The material is applied to the wooden cornice with a stapler - the fabric can be damaged, and removing Roman blinds is very difficult;
- The upper edge of the curtain is hemmed with a drawstring and then inserted into the cornice - removing just the fabric will not work;
- Loops are sewn to the fabric for fastening to the railing - this option is not suitable for all styles;
- Adhesive tape is applied to the window - used for lightweight items that are not lifted frequently.
