The Astrid Deluxe is a made-to-measure Roman blind from So Easy Blinds, listed under the retailer's Deluxe tier alongside other fabric Roman options. It is available in 15 colourways from a from-price of £101.25, which puts it firmly in the mid-to-upper bracket for a made-to-measure Roman. The opacity and specific fabric details are not stated, so it is worth confirming those with So Easy Blinds before ordering if light control is a firm requirement.

Who it suits

Roman blinds fold into neat horizontal pleats when raised and lie flat when down, giving a more polished finish than a roller in rooms where the window treatment is part of the scheme. The Astrid's position in the Deluxe tier suggests a fabric weight or finish above the entry-level polyester options, though without independent confirmation of the specification, the exact benefit over standard-tier Romans is difficult to quantify.

Living rooms and sitting rooms are the natural setting for a Roman at this price point - the fold profile is decorative in a way that a roller is not, and the palette (discussed below) gives enough variety to match a wide range of room schemes. Bedrooms are also viable, but check the opacity with So Easy Blinds first; if you need reliable dimming or blackout for early summer mornings, confirm whether a lining is included or available as an option.

Bathrooms and kitchens are not suitable for this range. Fabric Roman blinds - Deluxe or otherwise - are not designed for rooms with regular steam or condensation, and cleaning is harder than with a wipe-clean PVC or aluminium alternative.

The colours

15 colours available

The Astrid palette is distinctive for a Roman blind range at this price: it includes several genuinely bold choices alongside the expected neutrals. Cornflower, Lake, and Pastel Blue cover the cooler blue register. Lavender and Plum take the purple corner. Fiesta and Hot Pink are the high-saturation options for rooms where a statement colour is intended. Meadow, Forest, and the underlying Greige handle the green and grey-beige tones. Sunshine is the only yellow in the palette. Taupe, Clay, and Ice White round out the neutral end.

The breadth here is unusual - most Roman ranges cluster around neutrals with a handful of accent colours. The Astrid's inclusion of Forest, Fiesta, and Hot Pink suggests it is aimed at buyers who are actively decorating around the blind rather than treating it as background. If you are looking for something that disappears into the room, the Ice White, Clay, or Taupe options are the safer choices.

Price by your dimensions

Made to measure from £101.25. Check So Easy Blinds for the price at your exact window size.

At £101.25, the Astrid's from-price is at the higher end for made-to-measure Romans. The from-price reflects the smallest available size; pricing scales with width and drop, and a large window will land considerably higher. Confirm the actual price for your dimensions before ordering. Made-to-measure blinds are cut to your specification and cannot be returned for sizing errors, so measure carefully - width first, then drop.

How it compares

Against other Deluxe-tier Romans in the So Easy Blinds range - such as the Haven Deluxe - the Astrid's main differentiator is its colour palette. Where the Haven leans towards composed, interiors-language names like Oyster and Platinum, the Astrid includes more committed, higher-saturation options. If you are choosing between them purely on the basis of the colour range, the decision comes down to whether your room scheme calls for a neutral or a bolder accent.

Against Roman blinds more broadly, the Astrid's from-price puts it above entry-level options without being at the top of the market. If budget is the primary driver, there are made-to-measure Roman fabrics available at lower from-prices. If the colour choice or the Deluxe fabric finish is the reason for choosing this range, the price difference is the cost of that specificity.

For rooms where light control outweighs decoration, a roller blind with a confirmed opacity rating will give more reliable results than any Roman. Roman blinds fold and stack; the light that enters around that stack is harder to control than with a flat roller and side channels or perfect-fit fitting.
