The Amor is a made-to-measure perfect-fit blackout roller blind from Make My Blinds. It clips into UPVC window frames without drilling, which makes it one of the cleaner options for renters or anyone who wants a reversible install. The range comes in 45 colours and starts at £27.59.
Who it suits
Perfect-fit blinds are designed specifically for UPVC double-glazed windows with rubber gaskets around the frame. The blind's slim clip-in carrier grips that seal rather than fixing to the wall or lintel, so there is no masonry work involved and removal leaves no trace. If your windows are UPVC and your recess is deep enough for the frame, this is a genuinely tool-free install.
The blackout rating makes the Amor a reasonable candidate for bedrooms, including children's rooms. A blackout fabric blocks light through the material itself - though as with any blind, there will be some edge-leak where the frame meets the window surround. Perfect-fit framing reduces that gap compared with a bracket-hung roller, which is part of why the format is popular for sleep-critical rooms. For children's rooms specifically, check the operation mechanism: cord-free or breakaway-cord compliance matters for cord safety under UK regulations.
The format is less suited to wooden or aluminium-framed windows, which don't have the rubber gasket the carrier clips onto. It also won't work on windows where the recess depth is insufficient for the combined depth of frame and fabric roll.
The colours
45 colours available
The palette runs broad across 28 finishes. Neutrals are well represented - Cloud Grey, Soft Grey, Grey Mist, Graphite, Stormy Grey, Pearl, Polished Stone, Beige, Oyster Mushroom, and Snowfall cover most of the greyed and off-white territory that sells reliably in UK rooms. Warmer tones include Coffee, Campfire Smoke, and Weathered Collar. The cooler end offers Duck Egg, Dried Sage, Ocean Green, and Cobalt. Bolder choices - Vibrant Pink, Electric Lime, Rouge, Lavender Breeze, Midnight - sit alongside the core neutrals without the range becoming incoherent. Soft Peach, Pastel Yellow, Blushed Plum, and Winterbloom add lighter decorative options.
One variant - Soft Grey - is listed as a plain roller rather than a blackout roller. Every other finish in the range carries a blackout designation, so if blackout performance is the reason you are choosing this range, it is worth confirming that distinction before ordering.
Price by your dimensions
Made to measure from £27.59. Check Make My Blinds for the price at your exact window size.
At a from-price just under £28, the Amor sits in the accessible mid-range for made-to-measure perfect-fit blinds. Pricing on made-to-measure blinds scales with the area you order: a small bathroom window will come in much lower than a large bedroom window, and the from-price reflects the smallest orderable size. The retailer's per-dimension pricing will give you the actual figure for your window.
How it compares
The principal alternative to a perfect-fit roller is a recess-fit or face-fit roller. These require drilling into the lintel or wall, but they give more size flexibility - particularly on wider windows where a perfect-fit carrier can be awkward - and the fabric choice is usually broader. If your windows are not UPVC, a conventionally fitted blackout roller is likely your only route.
Within the perfect-fit blackout category, the main variable between ranges is the colour selection. With 28 finishes the Amor offers more choice than shorter ranges, which matters if you are trying to coordinate across several rooms or want something other than a neutral. The trade-off is that a longer range means more individual colours to assess, and some will suit specific rooms better than others.
For anyone needing genuine room-darkening performance over lighter-sleeping practicality, a deeper blackout roller with side channels fitted to a face-fixed bracket would give better edge coverage - but that requires drilling and a different window treatment altogether.
Fitting and operation
The perfect-fit system clips onto the rubber gasket that runs around the inner edge of a UPVC window unit. No screws, no adhesive. The carrier frame holds the blind flat against the glass, which keeps the profile slim and avoids the gap you get with a recess-fitted bracket. Removal is similarly straightforward - the frame unclips without leaving marks, which is a practical consideration for rented properties.
The UPVC frame must have a gasket groove and sufficient depth behind it. Before measuring, check that the frame profile your windows use is compatible with the perfect-fit system the retailer stocks - this information should be on the product page or available from the retailer directly.
Fittings for this fabric
The same fabric and blind type is sold in more than one fitting:
- Standard from £5.76 fixed with drilled brackets
- Perfect Fit from £27.59 a clip-in frame for UPVC windows and doors
- Motorised from £39.65 remote or app control
No-drill and clip-in fittings suit UPVC windows and renters, but they cap out at the largest window sizes - check the maximum drop before ordering for a tall window.
