Velvet & Velour Roman Blinds

Why choose velvet Roman blinds?

Some fabrics quietly finish off a room. Velvet has a little more main-character energy. Its soft, dense pile catches and reflects light differently depending on the angle, giving the fabric a rich, tactile appearance that works particularly well across the folds of a Roman blind. It means even a plain velvet Roman blind can bring plenty of visual interest to a window without needing a pattern to do the work.

Colour gets an extra dimension too. Deeper jewel tones such as emerald, navy, and burgundy can look particularly rich in velvet, while softer shades and neutrals let you enjoy all that lovely texture without making the colour itself the focal point.

Because the pile responds to its surroundings, it's worth seeing your favourites in the actual room before deciding. The same velvet can appear lighter, darker, or richer as the natural and artificial light changes, so order a few samples and move them around throughout the day. Consider it your very own velvet audition.

How to style velvet Roman blinds

Velvet might have glamorous credentials, but you don't have to turn the rest of the room into a boutique hotel to make it work. If you're leaning into the luxurious look, jewel-toned velvet Roman blinds pair beautifully with brass and gold details, darker woods, and other rich finishes. Bedrooms, living rooms, and dining rooms can all carry deeper colours particularly well, especially when you want the window to become part of the overall scheme.

For something more relaxed, let the fabric itself provide the fancy bit. Pair a neutral or muted velvet Roman blind with natural wood, linen-look fabrics and simpler furnishings, and you'll get the softness and depth without the room feeling overly formal. You can also pick up the colour elsewhere through cushions, throws, or upholstery. They don't need to match exactly – using different shades and textures within the same colour family can make the finished room feel much more layered.

Basically, velvet doesn't really do boring. It can do statement, but it can also deliver understated surprisingly well.

Upgrade your velvet Roman blinds

As well as looking rather lovely, your new velvet Roman blinds can be upgraded to make them even more useful in your home. Feel the cold? Opt for thermal lining for an extra layer of insulation. For bedrooms, blackout Roman blinds helps reduce outside light and create the perfect environment for a good night’s sleep. 

Selected velvet Roman blinds are also available with our Twist&Fit no-drill mechanism, giving you a made-to-measure finish without the need for pesky screws or drilling. Selected designs can also be upgraded to motorised Roman blinds for effortless opening and closing at the touch of a button. Magic! 

It’s worth mentioning that velvet blinds do need a little care to keep that distinctive pile looking its best. For everyday upkeep, gentle dusting or vacuuming with a suitable soft attachment can help, while deeper cleaning should always follow the instructions for your specific fabric.

Soft, sumptuous, and far more versatile than you might think, velvet Roman blinds prove that practical window dressing can still have a bit of razzle-dazzle.
