The history of roman blinds dates back 2000 years ago. As the name implies, they were invented by the Romans to protect their homes from dust created by the construction of the Colosseum. Initially they were unadorned and unsophisticated, but as the interest for beautiful interiors grew, people started commissioning impressive mosaics, superb paintings and so the roman blinds became more elaborate as well.
Nowadays, roman blinds design combines aesthetics with functionality. The plain cloth was replaced by sophisticated furnishings, stylish textiles and elaborate patterns. C&C Milano is one of the top suppliers of high-quality fabric for roman blinds. Our fibres are durable, stand the test of time and offer the perfect fusion of luxury and practicality. We encourage the use of natural fibres and have a high regard for sustainability.
Some of the most popular fabrics used by our clients for roman blinds are our linens and linen blends. C&C Milano showcases a variety of linen textures and patterns. We have an extraordinary colour palette, inspired by the Mediterranean Sea, the breath-taking views of Lake Maggiore and the splendid landscapes from the national parks surrounding Milan.
For roman blinds, our fabric can be used on its own or with a cotton lining, depending on how much light you want to get through. Very often, our interior designers use trims and other decorative passementerie elements to personalize the roman blinds even more, or to add a delicate pattern to a plain fabric. They try to create a bit of interest with a nice embroidery and even add monograms to the blind when decorating the windows of a restaurant or a hotel that wants to use their logo on their soft furnishings to promote their brand.
Enjoy a vast range of fabric designs and choose a material that matches your setting and room. If you need guidance with your selection, our team of professionals are available in any of our showrooms in London, Milan, New York, Paris and Munich.
