Question I have a 5 panel bow window in my lounge which is currently fitted with vertical blinds. I am looking to refurbish the room and fit new blinds but would prefer roman blinds. Can these be fitted to a bow window?
Answer Hi Adele
You can put 5 roman blinds on your bow window. I find you have to fit them almost touching each other. This then will give you privacy. The only drawback is that they tend to bump into each other when pulled up. This means you have to sometimes tidy them up by hand.
