| Pelmet and roller blind combinations |
| A stiff pelmet teamed with roman
blind can be an attractive and practical solution for a small 'problem' window where
curtains are unsuitable and a blind alone may seem insufficient. Adding the stiff pelmet
has the effect of creating a smarter more formal finish. |

| Pelmet and roman blind combinations |
| Teaming a pelmet and blind also
enables you to emphasise the eye catching shape, fabric combinations and trimmings you
have selected for your pelmet design by replicating these in the style of the blind. Roman
blinds can be used to create a stunning tailored effect, looking particularly smart
alongside a stiff pelmet. |

| Shaping the lower edge |
| It is really just a question of
personal preference as to whether you give your pelmet a shaped bottom edge. Here the
overall effect created differs quite noticeably, with the shaped pelmet appearing slightly
more 'feminine'. Why not cut out a number of life size paper templates and position
them above the window to help you decide on your preferred shape. |
