The Stickfit Tradechoice is a pleated blind range sold by Blinds By Post, available in 27 colours and starting from £18.98. It covers a broad palette from everyday neutrals to a handful of more characterful tones, which gives it more personality than the average plain-fabric pleated range. If you are looking for a made-to-measure pleated blind and want room to choose beyond white or grey, this is worth a close look.

Who it suits

Pleated blinds suit windows where you want a neat, compact stack when raised - the accordion folds compress tightly, losing less window height than a Roman blind's soft folds. That makes them particularly useful in kitchens, bathrooms, and home offices where you want clean lines and unobstructed daylight when the blind is up.

The Stickfit Tradechoice covers the basics well. If you are fitting a bathroom or kitchen, check with Blinds By Post whether the specific finish you choose carries any moisture-resistance claims, since pleated fabrics vary in their tolerance for humidity. For bedrooms where blackout is the priority, a roller or venetian blind with a dedicated blackout backing would serve better - the opacity of this range is not stated, so confirm with the retailer before ordering if darkness matters.

For living rooms, the range is a reasonable choice, particularly if the pleated profile appeals visually. The narrower stack compared to a Roman blind can be an advantage on smaller windows where every centimetre of glass counts at the top. Conservatories and garden rooms are another natural fit, where the clean geometric look of a pleated blind suits glazed surroundings without looking out of place.

For home offices, the coloured options in this range - Sky, Lagoon, or Spring - give a subtle way to introduce some personality without the visual noise of a patterned fabric on a background you see all day.

The colours

27 colours available

The palette splits naturally into two groups. The neutrals - Cream, White, Dove Grey, Grey, Anthracite Grey, and Taupe - are evergreen choices that sit quietly against most decors. Anthracite Grey and Onyx Black add stronger contrast for more contemporary interiors.

The warmer and more distinctive tones - Saffron, Terra, Spring, Orchid, Lagoon, Neptune, and Sky - give the range genuine breadth beyond the usual grey-and-white defaults. Sky and Lagoon are cool blues; Neptune reads closer to teal; Saffron and Terra anchor the warm end. Spring is the outlier, suggesting a soft green. These are useful if you want a gentle wash of colour without committing to wallpaper or paint.

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 starting price at £18.98, this sits at the accessible end of the pleated market. Made-to-measure pricing scales with dimensions, so a larger or less common size will cost more than the entry figure suggests - use the grid above to get an accurate figure for your window.

How it compares

Within the pleated category, the Stickfit Tradechoice is a broadly specified range: 14 colours is a solid count, and the mix of neutrals with a reasonable spread of tones gives genuine choice. Visitors wanting a tighter colour edit, or a fabric with explicit thermal or cellular performance, might look at honeycomb (cellular) blinds instead - these use a structural double layer to trap air and offer better insulation, which is the standout advantage of that blind type over a standard pleated fabric.

For rooms where light control is the main concern rather than the pleated aesthetic, a roller blind with a confirmed dimout or blackout backing will give more predictable results. The Stickfit Tradechoice's appeal is mainly its clean profile and the breadth of its palette at an accessible from-price.

Likely the same fabric, at other retailers

Clic-Stick-Fit Pleated pleated 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:

  • Make My Blinds from £15.00
  • Blinds By Post this page from £18.98
  • Swift Direct Blinds from £23.59

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.
