Construction of impressive buildings in Rome like the Coliseum also contributed to dust pollution. The solution… roman blinds. The blinds started out as damp clothes that were hanged in front of windows to keep out dust, later the Romans also used roman blinds as sun screens. In time it became an additional decorative item in each household, it came in different designs and colors.

Even though its thousands of year’s later, roman blinds are still highly fashionable Roman blinds come in assorted fabrics and in different materials such as wood, cloth, etc. Blinds made of cloth material can be tedious to maintain their cleanliness, that is why they also invented bamboo blinds as an alternative.
