The Bexley range from Make My Blinds is a made-to-measure roller blind offered in 2 colours, starting from £21.31. A roller is the simplest blind style: a flat panel of fabric on a tube that winds up and down, with no tilt and no folds. The Bexley cloth is a light-filtering fabric, so it diffuses daylight and gives privacy rather than blocking light out, and the range is a tight, two-colour collection of richer tones.
Who it suits
Roller blinds suit almost any room and are the most straightforward option to live with - a single clean panel that rolls clear of the window when up and sits flat against it when down. The Bexley range is a small, focused collection rather than a broad palette, so it suits anyone who already knows they want a deeper, warmer colour at the window rather than a neutral. It works well as an accent in a living room, study or bedroom, where a touch of stronger colour earns its place against plainer walls and furniture.
Because the Bexley fabric is light-filtering, it softens daylight and provides privacy rather than blocking light - good for a room you want to keep bright but screened, less suited to a bedroom that needs full darkness, where a blackout roller would serve better. A roller has no tilt, so light control is simply up or down; if you want to angle daylight without raising the blind, a venetian suits that better. The flat panel also keeps the deep colour reading as one even field across the window rather than breaking it up into folds.
The colours
2 colours available
The collection is deliberately small: two richer colourways rather than a wide spread. Olive is a deep, warm green, and Berry is a rich red - both stronger, more saturated tones meant to bring colour to the window rather than recede into a neutral scheme. Because the choice is between two clear colours, the decision is mainly about which suits your room, and either reads as an accent against pale walls. Colour on a screen rarely matches colour filling a window, so order a sample of both before deciding, since the difference between a deep green and a rich red is exactly the sort of choice a sample resolves.
Price by your dimensions
Enter your window size. We round up to the next standard size, which matches how the retailer actually quotes you.
The final figure depends mainly on the width and drop of your window, since a wider blind needs a longer tube and more fabric. Both colourways are priced the same way, so the choice between Olive and Berry is about the look rather than the cost.
How it compares
Against a roman blind, the Bexley roller is plainer and flatter - no soft pleats - but takes up less room at the top of the window and is simpler to operate. Against a venetian, the roller gives no tilt control, trading adjustability for a clean single panel and an even spread of diffused light. As a small two-colour collection it does not aim to cover every scheme; ranges with dozens of shades suit anyone after a precise neutral match, while Bexley is for those who specifically want a deep green or a rich red. For a simple, low-maintenance blind in a stronger colour, it covers the brief.
A note on care
Roller blinds are among the easiest to maintain. Wipe the fabric down with a soft, barely damp cloth to lift dust and light marks, working gently so the cloth keeps its tension on the tube, and avoid soaking it. A regular dust with a soft brush keeps the surface clean between wipes. Roll the blind fully up and down now and then to keep it running smoothly, and let it dry completely before rolling it away if it has been wiped damp.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Bexley roller 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 £10.00
- Make My Blinds this page from £21.31
- Blinds By Post from £51.66
- So Easy Blinds from £60.29
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.
