The Ennis range from Blinds By Post is a made-to-measure vertical blind offered in 6 colourways, starting from £11.93. It is a soft, muted collection of louvres that tilt to set the light and draw to one side to clear the glass, which makes it well suited to the wide openings where vertical blinds are at their most useful.
Who it suits
Vertical blinds are the usual answer for wide windows, patio doors and conservatories. The louvres rotate together to angle daylight in or out, then the whole stack draws aside when you want a clear view or to step through a door - a combination of tilt and draw that a flat roller cannot offer. That makes Ennis a practical choice for broad spans of glass where you want to control glare across the full width without lifting the blind.
The Ennis palette leans gentle and muted, so it settles comfortably into living rooms, bedrooms, conservatory dining areas and home offices. Because each louvre hangs separately, a single damaged slat can be replaced on its own rather than renewing the whole blind, which is a useful point in busy rooms or homes with children and pets.
The colours
6 colours available
Ennis keeps to a soft, liveable spread. The named colourways are Angora, Arran, Duck Egg, Lauden, Melton and Cashmere, which group into muted neutrals and gentle blues - Duck Egg bringing a soft blue note, with Angora, Cashmere and Melton sitting among the warmer greys and naturals. There are no brights or prints in the range; it is built to blend with an existing scheme rather than to stand out. The fabric is a standard light-filtering cloth, so the louvres soften and diffuse daylight rather than blocking it, keeping a room bright while taking the glare off direct sun. As with any vertical, the louvres overlap rather than seal, so a little light always leaks at the joins - worth noting if the room needs to be genuinely dark. Colour reads differently on a screen than across a full window, so order a sample before committing, especially when matching to existing decor.

Vertical blinds are generally among the more affordable made-to-measure styles, and Ennis sits at an accessible entry point. There is a single standard fitting across the range, so the price tracks the size of your opening rather than the colour you choose. None of the colourways carries a premium over another, so the decision comes down to the tone that fits the room rather than the cost.

How it compares
Against a roller blind, Ennis gives you tilt control and a draw-aside action that a roller cannot match, which counts for most on patio doors and very wide windows; a roller is simpler and reads flatter but covers the glass in one fixed panel. Against a wood or aluminium venetian, the vertical louvres handle tall, wide spans more easily and are lighter to operate across a big window, trading the crisp horizontal line of a venetian for a softer, draped look. For dressing a wide, light-filled room in calm, muted tones, the Ennis range covers the brief without fuss.
A note on care
Vertical louvres ask for little upkeep. Dust them with a soft brush or a vacuum on a low setting, working from the top down, and spot-clean marks with a damp cloth and a mild detergent solution rather than soaking the fabric. Let louvres dry fully in the open position before drawing them, and if one is damaged it can be replaced individually rather than renewing the whole blind, which keeps the range easy to maintain over the years.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Ennis 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:

- Blinds Direct from £15.14
- Vertical Blinds Direct from £21.20
- Wilsons Blinds from £24.94

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.
