The Bella range from Blinds By Post is a broad made-to-measure roller collection with 99 variants, spanning plain and textured colourways alongside a dedicated motorised tier. From-price is £8.90, making it one of the more accessible entry points in the retailer's roller catalogue.
Who it suits
Bella reads as a living-room and home-office range. The palette is built around neutrals - beiges, creams, whites, greys, and softer tones like Dove and Oyster - so it sits well in spaces where you want the blind to recede rather than lead. Dimout performance isn't specified per variant, so treat any opacity claims as the retailer's description rather than an independently tested result.
For bedrooms needing genuine blackout, a heavier purpose-built blackout roller would be a safer choice without confirmed per-variant opacity. The motorised variants add practical appeal for awkward-reach windows - above kitchen worktops, over a desk, or in a conservatory - where reaching for a chain repeatedly is inconvenient.
The same Bella fabric also runs to vertical blinds in several colourways, so if you're covering a patio door or a particularly wide opening, the same palette is available in vane form.
The colours
99 colours available
Bella's 55 distinct finishes span warm neutrals (Butter, Vellum, Hessian, Beige), cooler tones (Mineral, Dove, Placid, Mono), and a handful of accent directions: Ruby, Cacti, Mambo, and Wave. The palette leans heavily on liveable mid-tones rather than saturated statement colours, which suits its apparent positioning as an everyday residential range.
Fourteen colourways are offered in motorised form under the premium tier - Amalfi, Arcadia, Boujee, Duck Egg, Havana, Heat, Hessian, Mambo, Mineral, Mono, Nato, Placid, Rock, and Vellum - alongside a further set of Butter, Beige, Dove, Glade, Oyster, and Vine motorised options. With 34 premium variants in the mix, just over half the range carries a higher from-price than the base entry point. If you're browsing and the motorised version of a colourway is the only route to that finish, the price step is worth factoring in from the start.
Fifteen further finishes exist beyond the sample above; the full listing is on the Blinds By Post product pages.

At £8.90 entry, the standard chain-operated variants sit at the lower end of the made-to-measure roller market. Premium (motorised) variants will cost more; use the Blinds By Post site for a quote at your exact width and drop.
How it compares
Against other broad-palette roller ranges, Bella's main differentiator is the depth of motorised coverage: fourteen colourways with a motor option is more than most retailer own-ranges offer at this price tier. If motorisation isn't a requirement, a range focused on fabric weight or a verified blackout backing may be more relevant for bedrooms. For living rooms or home offices where light filtering and style flexibility matter more than total darkness, Bella's neutral palette and budget-friendly from-price are straightforward reasons to shortlist it.
Cellular and pleated blinds offer meaningfully better thermal performance than any roller fabric; if energy retention is the primary brief - particularly for a conservatory or a single-glazed window - a honeycomb blind would be a better starting point than Bella, regardless of how appealing the colourway looks.
Fitting and operation
The motorised variants operate without a chain, which is the cleanest cord-safe solution available - no chain to manage, no cord-cleat fitting required, and no dangling mechanism for children to reach. For standard chain-operated variants, the UK cord-safety regulations (BS EN 13120) require a cord-management device; Blinds By Post ships these as standard. If you're fitting in a children's room, the motorised tier is worth the cost difference for that reason alone.
Bella is available in both roller and vertical configurations, so measuring conventions differ depending on which you order. Roller blinds quote width then drop; vertical blinds quote track width then drop. Both are made-to-measure to your specified dimensions.
Fittings for this fabric
The same fabric and blind type is sold in more than one fitting:
- Standard from £8.90 fixed with drilled brackets
- No-drill (twist-fit) from £19.70 clips onto a UPVC frame, no screws
- Perfect Fit from £101.65 a clip-in frame for UPVC windows and doors
- Cassette from £25.58 a headrail box for a neater top
- Motorised from £54.80 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.
