The Crushed Velvet range from Blinds 2go is a made-to-measure roman blind offered in 6 colourways, starting from £22.25. It is a velvet-effect cloth presented as a soft-fold blind, with a small spread of colours running from neutral greys and black to a blue and a pink.
Who it suits
A roman blind folds up into soft, stacked horizontal pleats when raised and hangs as a smooth fabric panel when lowered, which gives a richer, more upholstered look than a flat roller - a quality a velvet-effect cloth leans into. That makes the Crushed Velvet range a good fit for living rooms and bedrooms, where the texture and the soft folds add to the scheme rather than just covering the window.
Because this is a standard, light-filtering cloth rather than a blackout one, it diffuses daylight and gives privacy rather than blocking light entirely - so the room stays softly lit during the day rather than darkened. For a bedroom that needs full darkness, you would pair it with a blackout lining or choose a blackout blind instead. Roman blinds also suit dry rooms better than steamy kitchens or bathrooms, where gathered fabric can hold moisture - all the more reason to keep a velvet-effect cloth out of damp spaces, where the pile would suffer most. A lounge or a bedroom is the natural home for this range.
The colours
6 colours available
The range covers six colourways across four families: two greys (Steel and Warm Silver), a black (Obsidian), a blue (Royal Blue), a pink (Rose Quartz) and a warmer Light Bronze. That gives you a neutral core of greys and black for a quiet, textured finish, plus a blue and a pink for rooms that want a stronger colour. The crushed-velvet surface catches light and reads differently by tone, so the same colour can look deeper or lighter as the angle changes. Colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ considerably with a textured fabric like this, so it is worth requesting a sample before committing to a full-sized blind.
Price by your dimensions

The figure above reflects the size you choose. The range is offered with a standard fitting from £22.25. A roman blind tends to sit a little above the plainest roller options, reflecting the lined, soft-fold construction and the velvet-effect cloth, but it remains an accessible way to bring texture and a more finished look to a room. As with any roman, the larger the window the more fabric the blind carries, so a wide window will sit above the from-price while a small one stays close to it.
How it compares
Against a roller blind, the Crushed Velvet roman trades the roller's flat simplicity and easy wipe-down for soft folds and a richer, textured surface - more decorative, but asking for a gentler clean. Against a venetian or vertical blind, there are no slats to tilt; this is about fabric, texture and folds rather than adjustable slat control. Within the range, the choice is between the neutral greys and black for a subtle finish or the blue and pink for a clearer colour statement, all on the same velvet-effect cloth.
A note on care
Velvet-effect roman blinds need a careful touch. Keep them dust-free with a regular light vacuum using a soft brush attachment, working in the direction of the pile, and spot-clean any marks with a barely damp cloth rather than soaking the fabric. Raise the blind fully from time to time so the pleats stack evenly, and avoid hanging it where it will sit in steam or persistent damp, which can flatten or mark the velvet surface.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Crushed Velvet roman 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:
- 247 Blinds from £17.81
- Blinds 2go this page from £22.25
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.
