The Eco Friendly roller from 247 Blinds is a made-to-measure roller blind positioned around an environmentally conscious fabric premise, available in 11 colours from £15.76. The range is deliberately small - just two finishes - so the choice is quick, but the gap between those two options is wider than it might initially sound.

Who it suits

The Barley variant, a warm neutral, reads well in living rooms and home offices where a soft, light-filtering effect is the goal rather than full blackout. Neutral-toned roller fabrics in this weight class diffuse daylight without darkening a room, which makes them a sensible fit for a study window where managing glare on a screen matters more than achieving complete darkness. In a kitchen or dining area with a south-facing window, a light neutral roller that softens direct sun without blocking it entirely is often the most useful option, and Barley sits comfortably in that role.

Royal Red is a bolder choice. Strong accent colours in this category tend to work best when the rest of the room is already built around that palette - a roller blind is a large, flat surface that carries a colour more assertively than cushions or smaller soft furnishings. Used as a deliberate accent in a scheme that can absorb it, it reads well. Imposed on a neutral room as an afterthought, it risks dominating. Royal Red is also a narrower decorating decision than Barley; it dates a scheme faster and is harder to change your mind about without replacing the blind.

Neither finish is described as blackout or dimout in the retailer's listing, so this range is not the right call for a bedroom where genuine darkness at night or at dawn matters. If you need blackout performance - for a child's room, a shift worker, or anyone light-sensitive - confirm the opacity class with 247 Blinds before ordering rather than assuming a heavier eco fabric will block enough light.

The colours

11 colours available

Barley sits in warm cream-to-oat territory - understated and straightforward to pair with natural wood tones, off-white walls, or earthy interior schemes. Royal Red is a saturated, confident red without pink or orange overtones; it reads cleanly rather than muddily. The two finishes are genuinely different in character rather than variations on a theme, and the range offers no mid-option or neutral alternative beyond Barley. If your room requires something cooler, greyer, or more understated than these two, the range won't serve it and searching 247 Blinds' wider roller catalogue for more finishes would be the logical next step.

Price by your dimensions

Enter your window size. We round up to the next standard size, which matches how the retailer actually quotes you.

The from-price places this range at the accessible end of the made-to-measure roller market. As with most online made-to-measure retailers, the final price scales with width and drop, so measuring to your actual window dimensions rather than rounding up to a rounder number will keep the cost down. If you're fitting inside the recess, measure the recess opening width; if fitting outside the recess, decide your desired overlap onto the wall or frame before measuring.

How it compares

For anyone drawn to the eco positioning but needing blackout performance - a child's bedroom, a shift worker's room, or a bedroom that gets early light - a roller blind with a dedicated blackout-coated fabric would serve better. The eco-fabric angle and the light character here point more towards living spaces and daytime rooms than sleeping ones.

If the two-colour palette doesn't fit your scheme, a broader roller range with more finishes will give you more to work with. The trade-off of a small range is simplicity: two finishes, no decision fatigue, but no flexibility if neither colour suits you. For rooms where the Barley or Royal Red aesthetic genuinely fits and opacity requirements are modest, the range is a clean, no-fuss option at an accessible entry price.
