How to Choose Your Made-to-Measure Roman Blinds

1 October 2026

A made-to-measure Roman blind by Sanderson brings tailored structure and fabric warmth to a window, sitting perfectly within or across the recess. The way the fabric folds as you raise and lower the blind shapes both the look of the window dressing and how much light enters the room.

Standard Stacked

What it looks like: As the blind is raised, the folds gather and stack neatly on top of one another, sitting flush at the top of the window. When lowered, it sits flat and smooth.
The feel: Smart, streamlined, and compact. It keeps the stack minimal to let in maximum natural light.
Best suited for: Kitchens, study spaces, or smaller windows where you want a clean, classic aesthetic and unobstructed daylight.

Waterfall Stacked

What it looks like: Each fold sits slightly forward and below the one behind it, creating gentle, visible tiers that cascade down even when the blind is raised.
The feel: Softer, more decorative, and luxurious with permanent layered movement.
Best suited for: Cosy living rooms and bedrooms, especially when using printed or textured fabrics that you want to highlight continuously at the window.
