Maritime Roman Blinds
Decorative Folding Blinds for Cruise, Ferry and Yachts
Roman blinds were originally invented by the Romans to shield their homes from the dust kicked up by horses and carriages on busy roads. Fast forward 2,000 years to present day and the product is still as popular as ever in the world of maritime interior design.
Roman blinds are a stylish and functional way to dress windows on board cruise ships, ferries, and luxury yachts. Often paired up with standard curtains or sheers, they provide layers and warmth to any room. Roman blinds are made up of one flat piece of fabric which gradually folds as the operational controls are pulled. The opening chain allows the fabric to form neat folds, while the fabric lays flat against the window when closed. Devilishly simple and exceptionally stylish.
If fabrics are already specified by an interior designer, we will source them from all over the world on behalf of our clients. We have strong relationships with UK and international fabric manufacturers and mills; tell us what you want and we’ll do the leg work so you can focus on other things.
Alternatively, we have a selection of fabrics in the ‘Colour Selections’ section below that are IMO FR approved and suitable for maritime environments. Still can’t find what you’re looking for? Don’t worry our team is here to help. MED Approved fabrics are also available upon batch request.
