Ante Decor is Terrys Fabrics' made-to-measure roman blind collection, offered across 235 options and starting from £7.99. It is best understood as a collection rather than a single cloth: the choices span many distinct named fabrics - Altro, Karrika, Eden, Willow, Honesty, Skoll, Zante and others - each carried in its own colourways, alongside a number of printed cotton designs. That breadth is the point of the range, so two blinds from it can look quite different in pattern and texture while sharing the same roman construction and fitting.
Who it suits
Roman blinds fold up into soft horizontal pleats as they raise, and stack into a neat band of fabric at the top of the window. That soft, fabric-led look suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms, where the texture of cloth is part of the scheme rather than a purely functional covering. Because Ante Decor includes both plain weaves and printed designs, it serves a quiet, neutral brief and a more decorative, pattern-forward one from the same place.
Romans are less suited to kitchens and bathrooms: the fabric sits in a fixed run and is harder to wipe down than a slatted or moisture-resistant blind, and steam and splashes are not ideal for it. For those rooms a roller or a moisture-resistant fabric is the safer choice. In a bedroom, note the opacity carefully (see below) before assuming a given cloth will darken the room.
The colours
235 colours available
The collection leans towards calm, liveable tones. Creams, greys and whites make up a large part of it, with blues and greens close behind, and smaller runs of pink, orange, brown, red, black, purple and yellow for accent. Because the range is built from many separate cloths, a single colour family can appear in several different weaves and prints - so "grey", for instance, is not one fabric but a spread across designs such as Altro, Karrika and others. Pattern varies just as much as colour: some cloths are plain, while the printed cotton designs carry florals and motifs. With this many options the safest approach is to shortlist by cloth and colour together, then order samples - cloth texture and print scale read very differently on a screen than they do filling a window.

The figures above reflect your exact width and drop. The entry price is accessible for a made-to-measure roman, and roman blinds in general sit below the cost of heavily lined or interlined curtains while giving a similar soft finish. Plain cloths and printed designs sit within the same collection, so the choice is mostly about look rather than a large price gap.
How it compares
Against a roller blind, an Ante Decor roman gives a softer, more upholstered finish but raises into a deeper fabric stack and is less wipe-clean, so it favours dressier rooms over working ones. Against curtains, a roman uses less fabric, sits inside or close to the recess, and reads as tidier, while still offering the texture and pattern that a hard blind cannot. Within the range itself, the trade-off is between the plain weaves, which sit quietly in most schemes, and the printed cottons, which make the window a feature.
A note on care
Roman blinds are best kept dust-free with regular light vacuuming using an upholstery attachment, and spot-cleaned gently rather than soaked. Different cloths in this collection will have their own care guidance, so check the label for the specific fabric you choose before cleaning, and avoid hanging a standard or sheer roman where it will be regularly exposed to steam or splashes.
