The Devon range is a made-to-measure vertical blind sold by Blinds By Post, available in 4 finishes and starting from £43.00. It is a straightforward, fabric-vane vertical blind pitched at buyers who want a calm, neutral palette for a wide window or patio door without veering into pattern or bright colour.

Who it suits

Vertical blinds are best suited to wide openings - wide bay windows, patio doors, conservatory side windows - where the vanes slide along a track rather than raising as a stack. The Devon's palette (creams, a warm sand, a cool denim blue, and a deep grey) skews domestic rather than commercial, so it will sit more comfortably in a living room or bedroom conservatory than in an office setting where off-the-shelf verticals are the default.

The range is less well suited to a small, standard-sized window where a roller or venetian would sit less conspicuously. Vertical vanes can swing slightly in a draught, so in a room with regular through-breezes the linked bottom chain - standard on most vane sets - becomes more important for keeping the blind tidy.

The opacity class for this range is not specified in the retailer's listing, so if blackout or a confirmed dimout rating is essential for your room, check with Blinds By Post before ordering.

The colours

4 colours available

The four finishes - Whisper, Sand, Denim, and Shadow - form a coherent palette across warm neutrals and a pair of cooler tones. Whisper reads as an off-white or very pale cream, making it the brightest option and the one most likely to maximise the sense of light through the window when the vanes are angled open. Sand shifts into warm beige territory, a workable choice for rooms with warm-toned flooring or furniture. Denim introduces the only blue in the set - a mid-toned, slightly dusty blue that will read as calm rather than bold in most living rooms. Shadow is the darkest finish, a mid-to-deep grey that suits contemporary interiors where a neutral anchor is wanted without the softness of white or cream.

There are no premium-priced variants in this range; the from-price applies across all four finishes. The palette avoids anything bold or pattern-led, which keeps it versatile across different interior styles but means it will not satisfy buyers looking for a statement colour or a printed vane fabric.

Starting from £43.00, the Devon sits at the more accessible end of the made-to-measure vertical blind market. As with all sized blinds, the price increases with width and drop - the grid above shows what your specific window dimensions will cost before you commit.

How it compares

Against other vertical blind ranges, the Devon's appeal is its restrained colour edit. Buyers who want a large fabric range with dozens of colours will find broader choice from other Blinds By Post ranges or elsewhere; the Devon is for someone who already knows they want one of these four neutral tones and wants a clean, uncomplicated option at an accessible price.

If light control is the primary concern - for instance, a south-facing living room that needs genuine dimout or blackout - a roller blind with a confirmed opacity rating may be a more reliable choice, because the opacity of vertical vanes is harder to specify and verify than a backed roller fabric. For conservatory use where the window is wide and a roller is impractical, the Devon is a sensible first look.

A note on care

Fabric vertical vanes are best maintained with a vacuum on a brush attachment to clear dust from the face of each vane. Spot-clean marks with a damp cloth; avoid soaking the fabric or running the vanes through a washing machine unless the retailer's care instructions specifically permit it.

Likely the same fabric, at other retailers

Devon vertical 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 £7.66
  • Blinds By Post this page from £43.00
  • So Easy Blinds from £48.44

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.
