The Bella range is a made-to-measure vertical blind collection sold by Blinds By Post, spanning 55 finishes and starting from £11.00. It sits squarely in the everyday vertical-blind category - wide enough to cover most room types, with a palette that runs from muted neutrals to the occasional stronger accent colour.

Who it suits

Vertical blinds are the natural choice for wide window openings and patio or French doors, where the ability to slide vanes along a track is more practical than any other blind type. The Bella range follows that pattern. It works well in living rooms and conservatories with large glazed panels, and in any room where you want straightforward light control by rotating the vanes rather than raising and lowering the whole blind.

If you need genuine blackout for a bedroom - a room with a single standard-sized window, for instance - a roller with a blackout fabric or a venetian with overlapping slats would give you more reliable light blocking. Vertical vanes leave small gaps at each join when tilted to maximum closure, and vanes can swing slightly in a draught. They are also often described as having a commercial feel; that's a fair point if you're decorating a cosy sitting room, but less of a concern in a kitchen-diner or a home extension with a wide run of glass.

The range includes colours categorised as beige, cream, white, grey, blue, and green. That breadth means it's realistic to match or coordinate with most neutral room schemes without resorting to a specialist fabric.

The colours

55 colours available

The 27 finishes divide roughly into neutrals and accents. Names like Hessian, Oyster, Canvas, Cashew, and Beige sit at the warmer neutral end; Frost, Paper, and Placid lean cooler. Mono and Noir cover the black and charcoal territory, while Lipstick, Pop, Ruby, and Tickled are clearly the accent options for anyone who wants a focal point rather than a background. Wave, Mirage, and Bullet sit somewhere between, suggesting muted mid-tones rather than strong statements.

The finish names are Blinds By Post's own naming conventions rather than standardised colour codes, so the safest approach is to request samples before ordering - the difference between Oyster and Canvas is likely subtle, and the difference between Cacti and Duck Egg matters if you're matching a specific green.

Price by your dimensions

Enter your window size. We round up to the next standard size, which matches how the retailer actually quotes you.

With a from-price under £11, the Bella range sits at the budget-friendly end of the made-to-measure vertical blind market. That from-price reflects the smallest available size; pricing steps up as width and drop increase, as is standard across all made-to-measure blinds. Note that made-to-measure retailers round your measurements up to the nearest standard size increment, so it is worth checking the exact size breaks before finalising your order.

How it compares

Within the vertical blind category, the Bella range is a broad-palette, entry-level offering. If you're covering a conservatory or wide patio door and want the lowest practical from-price, it's a reasonable starting point. If you need a specific technical property - PVC vanes for a kitchen where condensation or grease is a concern, or a particularly heavyweight fabric to reduce vane movement in a draughty room - it's worth checking whether those properties are confirmed for this range before ordering, as vane material and weight are not stated for this range.

Against roller or roman blinds for a standard bedroom window, the Bella vertical is not the obvious choice; rollers in blackout fabrics give cleaner edge-to-edge coverage and a simpler mechanism for a single window. Where vertical blinds do compete is on large spans, where operating a roller at 2m+ width becomes cumbersome and a sliding vertical track is genuinely more practical.

Likely the same fabric, at other retailers

Bella vertical blinds are sold under the same name by more than one UK retailer, and the price scales identically across window sizes - a strong sign it is the same fabric from the same supplier:

  • Swift Direct Blinds from £9.56
  • Blinds By Post this page from £11.00
  • So Easy Blinds from £51.57

We match these on the shared name and an identical price curve, not an independent inspection, so treat it as likely the same fabric rather than confirmed - and check the specification and colour at each retailer before buying.
