Can all roman blinds be cut to size?

Hi

I need to get some sort of blinds for my bathroom window but I can't find any anywhere the right size, I've just read on m+s website that their binds can be cut to size, is this the same for all (or even most) roman blinds? the m+s ones are only plain black or plain white so don't really fancy those.

  • Roman blinds can be of different constructions. So I will say that I have successfully cut some down and been pleased with the outcome, but I won't say that the ones you have in mind will definitely be suitable to cut down.

    If you post a link to blinds you have in mind, people will be able to give a view on precisely those blinds

    thank you very much for your reply :)

    I haven't looked at any to see if I like them recently because I couldn't find any in the size I need so I've been looking at that before I look at the blinds colour now:o
    I think I might go and see if I can *see* the m+s ones in store so I know what i'm looking at to compare them.

    thanks again
  • Roman blinds are very easy to make if you have a sewing machine and minimal skills. Surely if you cut them down you will need to finish the fabric anyway?

    Roman blinds are not easy to cut down..but roller blinds are. Roman blinds have all sorts of seams, nit to mention fixings for the cords, so it would make sense that they cant be altered.
