History of the Roman Blind
When the city of Rome comes to mind, most people think of the Pope, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Vatican. However, as the name suggests, Rome is also known for the invention of a particular type of window blind.
The very first Roman blinds were made from cloth or animal skin. They were attached at glassless windows in an attempt to prevent dust and grime from entering people’s homes during the building of the Colosseum.
The Romans soon realised that these early makeshift blinds were also very effective at screening out bright sunlight and blocking the heat, and were an inexpensive and efficient method for keeping their homes cool.
As time went on, cloth and animal skins were replaced by other fabrics and decorative trimmings were added. Eventually, wooden rods and drawstrings were also incorporated to enable the fabric to be raised and lowered, thus making the blinds more functional for daily living.
Roman blinds have certainly come a long way since their inception around 2,000 years ago in ancient Rome. Their simple yet practical design has endured through the centuries, and millennials all over the world still choose to install Roman blinds in their homes today. With clever modern technological design and a huge range of fabrics, colours and patterns, there truly is a style to suit every home.
