The Cath Kidston roller blind range at Terrys Fabrics is the retailer's licensed Cath Kidston collection, made to measure in 29 printed colourways and starting from £20.79. These are roller blinds: a flat panel of printed fabric on a tube, the simplest blind style, with no tilt and a wipe-clean surface. Rather than colours of one plain cloth, the range is a set of distinct Cath Kidston prints - florals, ditsies, stripes and spots - so the choice is mostly about pattern rather than a single shade.
Who it suits
A printed roller suits a room where the window is meant to add character rather than recede. The Cath Kidston prints carry the brand's familiar floral and country motifs, which sit naturally in kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and children's rooms. Because a roller is a single flat panel, the print reads clearly across the whole blind when it is down, making this a good fit if you want the pattern to be the feature of the window.
The fabric is light-filtering rather than blackout, so it softens daylight and gives daytime privacy without shutting light out completely. For a bedroom where you need full darkness, a blackout-lined blind would serve better; for living spaces, kitchens and family rooms the filtering finish is usually what you want.
The colours
29 colours available
The collection spans a broad palette across its prints, weighted towards blues and pinks with greens, reds and a scattering of orange, purple, yellow and white. The names point to the designs themselves - Bluebells Multi, Forget Me Not Blue, Rose Bud in several tones, Summer Birds Green, Cherry Sprig Red and Vintage Bunch Multi among them - so each colourway is really a particular Cath Kidston print rather than a flat shade. Multi-coloured prints sit alongside more single-toned florals and a textured stripe, giving a mix of busy and quieter options within one collection. Because a printed pattern can look very different filling a window than it does on a screen, request a sample before committing to a full-sized blind so you can judge the scale and colour of the print in your own light.

There is a single standard fitting across the collection, so the from-price applies whichever print you choose. As a licensed designer collection, it sits above a plain unbranded roller on price, which reflects the print rather than any difference in the blind mechanism itself.
How it compares
Against a plain roller blind, this collection trades a lower price for the Cath Kidston prints - the mechanism and upkeep are the same, the difference is the patterned fabric. Against a roman blind in a similar print, the roller is simpler and cheaper, sitting flat against the window rather than gathering into soft folds, and is easier to wipe in a kitchen or bathroom. Against a venetian or vertical, a roller offers no tilt and no slats to leak light at the edges, just a clean printed panel that rolls up out of the way. The main reason to choose this collection over a plainer roller is the Cath Kidston design itself, so the comparison comes down to whether you want the print at the window or a quieter block of colour.
A note on care
Roller fabric is low-maintenance: a regular dust with a soft brush or the upholstery tool of a vacuum keeps it clean, and most marks lift with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent dabbed gently rather than rubbed, so the print is not disturbed. Let the blind dry fully before rolling it back up. Avoid soaking the fabric, which can mark a printed cloth, and keep the tube and bracket fixings clear of dust so the blind rolls evenly.
