Another feature is that they can easily be accommodated in any kind of window, be it a bay window or a small landing window and even a French door.

That makes roman blinds perfect for glazed doors that open to another areas, which you may like to keep dark, because they obstruct light that would otherwise pass thru the glass and reach the other side. The weight of rods provided to keep the folds in tact helps to prevent them from flapping like other dressings that tend to flutter with breeze that gets originated by closing or opening of door.

A Roman blind is especially helpful to windows with lightweight sheer curtains. They block outside light coming from outside, say streetlight or moonlight or passing vehicles.

By nature human beings are diurnal and not nocturnal. Some of the professions demand that you work at night while the rest of the world is asleep. That is contrary to what nature has gifted us. Our body clock is not geared to promote sleep during the day and one great motivating factor to bring it in that sleep-mode is complete and total darkness.
