Extra wide window & blinds

We have a wide window in our office room. It goes from wall to wall (60s house!). The room is an office so we would like a Roman blind but a few places online don’t do Roman blinds in that width. I don’t want Venetian, roller or vertical. Does anyone know an online retailer who makes wide Roman blinds? Unless there is a reason they’re not made wider (design issue I don’t know about....)

I think it is to do with the weight. A lined Roman blind is much heavier than a roller blind. Also most fabrics are 54” wide may need joining. However, I have seen them made up in wider sizes? Try an independent curtain maker.

Is it a picture window, or does it have panels? You could have more the one blind?

I did wonder about having more than one blind thank you for explaining too. It has a window that opens outwards, then a big panel and then a matching opening window the other end. I did wonder if two blinds might look ok!

Houses in my street have similar windows and with 3 panels they have 3 blinds. This gives maximum flexibility to stop the sun's glare at different times of day without having to close the blinds completely

Have you looked at blinds2go? I've had curtains from them and they were v good
Otherwise where are you as I know a v good blind man who's come and measure up and offer options for great prices - all made to measure and great choice. He covers northern home countries

Blinds 2 Go is who I always use but won’t do one that wide in Roman blinds but as a poster has said three across would probably be practical and look good!

Thanks everyone, great to get idea
