The Pleated Fit from Make My Blinds is a made-to-measure pleated blind offered in 14 colours, starting from £15.00. Pleated blinds fold accordion-style into a neat stack at the top of the window when raised, which keeps the mechanism tidy without the bulk of a Roman or the tube of a roller. This range covers a broad colour palette, from neutrals through greys, greens, and yellow, across two finish codes - Clic and Stick.

Who it suits

Pleated blinds tend to work best in rooms where a clean, low-profile blind is a priority and where full blackout is not the main concern. The Pleated Fit is well suited to living rooms and home offices where some diffused daylight is welcome with the blind down, and where the neat fold-up mechanism keeps the window feeling open when the blind is raised.

The range covers neutrals such as Nude, Beige, Sand, White, and several greys - finishes that sit quietly in most interior schemes. The bold options, Yellow and Light Green, add some character if the room calls for it.

Bathrooms and kitchens are generally not ideal for pleated fabric blinds; moisture over time can affect the pleats. For those rooms, a PVC roller or aluminium venetian is a more practical choice. The range does not advertise blackout fabric, so if you need to block early-morning light in a bedroom, confirm the opacity level with Make My Blinds before ordering - or consider a dedicated blackout roller instead.

The colours

14 colours available

The 15 finishes split between Clic and Stick variants. Colours with both options include Light Green, Dark Grey, Grey, and Yellow - so you can choose the finish type independently of the colour in several cases. The neutrals - Nude, Beige, Sand, Mouse Grey, Light Grey, White - give broad compatibility with painted or tiled rooms. Dark Grey and Black offer deeper options for a more considered contrast scheme.

The palette is cohesive rather than eclectic: mostly desaturated tones, with Yellow and Light Green as the two deliberate departures. If you want a warm mid-tone or something in blue or terracotta, this range does not cover those and you would need to look elsewhere in Make My Blinds' wider pleated selection.

Price by your dimensions

Starting from £15.00, the Pleated Fit sits at the entry end of the made-to-measure pleated market. As with most made-to-measure blinds, the price rises with width and drop - the grid above shows how the cost scales across common sizes. The from-price reflects the smallest standard sizes; a full-height window or a wide bay will cost more.

How it compares

Against other pleated blinds, the Pleated Fit offers a usable range of neutrals at an accessible starting price. The trade-off is that the fabric selection is relatively narrow - 15 finishes is a limited palette compared with larger made-to-measure retailers that carry 30 or more pleated options.

If thermal performance is a priority - for example on a single-glazed window in a north-facing room - a cellular or honeycomb blind would outperform any single-layer pleated fabric, including this one. The sealed air pockets in a honeycomb blind measurably reduce heat loss in a way a standard pleated fabric cannot match.

For rooms where you primarily want a tidy, low-profile blind that handles light filtering without fuss, the Pleated Fit is a straightforward choice. The entry price is low enough to fit casually into a room without a large outlay, and the colour range handles most neutral-led schemes without needing to look elsewhere.

Fitting and operation

Pleated blinds typically fit inside the recess or face-fixed above the window, in the same way as a roller. The accordion fold means the raised stack is slightly deeper front-to-back than a roller tube, so check your recess depth if you are fitting inside a shallow frame. As with any cord-operated blind sold in the UK, the retailer must supply cord-safe operation in line with current regulations - confirm whether this range uses a cord cleat or another compliant mechanism when ordering.

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 this page from £15.00
  • Blinds By Post 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.
