Laura Ashley's Animalia Embroidered range brings an illustrated animal motif to the roman blind format, worked into a fabric that drapes into the characteristic horizontal pleats of a roman rather than rolling onto a tube. The embroidered surface treatment gives the finished blind a more tactile character than a printed roller fabric, making it a natural fit for living rooms and sitting rooms where decoration matters as much as function.

Two UK retailers currently list the Animalia Embroidered roman: Blinds By Post and Swift Direct Blinds. Both carry the same four colourways - Pale Dove Grey, Blush, Pale Duck Egg, and Silver - which suggests the fabric is likely the same wholesale cloth cut to order by each shop rather than a retailer-specific variant. Pricing scales with window size in a broadly similar pattern across both, reinforcing that likelihood.

That said, a fabric match does not mean the finished blind is equivalent. Blinds By Post offers standard, motorised, and no-drill fittings; Swift Direct Blinds lists standard fitting only. If you want a motorised roman or a no-drill installation - perhaps for a rental property or a window frame you would rather not drill into - only one of these two retailers can accommodate you.

Where both shops can fulfil your order, the relevant comparison is the actual price at your specific width and drop, not the headline "from" figure. The size cards below price up both retailers at the window dimensions you enter, so you can see exactly which is cheaper for the blind you are buying. Colour availability is consistent across both shops, so that choice is yours regardless of which retailer you go with.

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.
