Faux Silk is a roman blind fabric stocked by two UK retailers - 247 Blinds and Make My Blinds. Faux silk gives a roman the sheen and drape of real silk without the cost or the fragility, which is why it is a popular choice for living rooms and bedrooms where the look of the folds is part of the point. Both retailers list it under the same name, so it is very likely the same wholesale cloth cut and lined to order by each.

Because the fabric is shared, the practical differences come down to lining, fittings and colour. A roman's light control lives in its lining, so check whether each retailer offers the standard, thermal or blackout lining you want - that one choice changes how the blind behaves far more than the fabric does. Both list a no-drill option here, which is handy for a uPVC frame or a rented home, and the colour range within the faux-silk family can differ between the two.

Roman blinds use more fabric than rollers and their price rises steeply with size, so the from-price for the smallest blind is a poor guide to what a real window costs. Enter your width and drop into the pricer below for both retailers - and with a dressier fabric like this, it is worth confirming which lining each total includes before you compare them.

Prices below are for a 1200×1200 mm window. Enter yours to re-rank - we round up to the next standard size, as the retailers do.

We match these on the shared name and a price that scales the same way across window sizes, not an independent inspection, so treat it as likely the same fabric rather than confirmed. Construction, exact colourway and fitting can vary between retailers - check the specification at each before buying.
