How to Successfully Pattern Match Roman Blinds

To pattern match your Roman Blind use the vertical pattern repeat. To work out the vertical pattern repeat measure from the top of the design in one spot down to the same spot on the design below.

All cut lengths have to start at the same point in the pattern so they match at the seam when the blind is joined.  This means the cut length has to be a multiple of the pattern repeat.  Once you have determined your pattern repeat you need to determine the cut length of your blind please see example below.

Plaza Silver Roman Blind

Finished length = 150cm divide by pattern repeat 69cm = 2.17cm

Round up to 3

3 is the number of repeats you will need

2 x 69cm – 207 = cut length
