The Florence Light Filtering Roller Blind is a made-to-measure roller from So Easy Blinds, available in 5 colours and priced from £35.00. It sits in the light-filtering class, meaning it softens daylight without blocking it - a practical choice for rooms where you want privacy during the day without plunging the space into darkness. The palette leans towards softer, liveable tones rather than bold statement colours, making it an easy fit for rooms that get regular natural light.

Who it suits

Light-filtering fabrics are well suited to living rooms, kitchens, and home offices where full blackout would feel oppressive during daylight hours. The Florence works here: it admits diffused light, keeps the room usable, and provides a degree of privacy from the street without requiring net curtains beneath it. For rooms that face onto a busy road or pavement, the fabric obscures silhouettes from outside while still letting the room feel bright and open.

Home offices and studies are another natural fit. Light-filtering rollers reduce glare on screens compared to an uncovered window, without the flat, dimmed quality of a heavier fabric that makes a daytime workspace feel gloomy. The lighter finishes in this range - Stone and White in particular - will help bounce rather than absorb the incoming light.

It is not a blackout blind. If the room is a bedroom where a sleeper needs genuine darkness, or a nursery where early summer mornings cause problems, a heavier dimout or blackout roller fabric would serve better. The same applies to rooms with strong afternoon sun where direct glare on a screen is the problem - light-filtering fabric reduces brightness but won't eliminate it.

Bathrooms are a borderline case. The Florence range is not described as moisture-resistant, so if the bathroom is poorly ventilated or prone to condensation, a PVC or vinyl roller intended for wet rooms is the safer pick.

The colours

5 colours available

The four finishes are Peach, Green, Stone, and White - a range that sits across warm neutrals and lighter naturals rather than deep or bold tones. Stone and White are the most versatile, likely to work across a wide range of interior schemes. Peach adds warmth and suits rooms with wooden furniture or warm-toned walls. Green is the most distinctive choice; it reads as a contemporary accent without being difficult to live with.

Because light-filtering fabrics carry light through them, the colour you see from the street differs from what you see inside. All four finishes are relatively light, which means they will glow pleasantly when backlit - this is part of the point of a light-filtering blind, but worth bearing in mind if you want minimal light intrusion. None of the four finishes sit in the deep or dark end of the colour spectrum, which keeps the range coherent; if you want a stronger contrast colour on your window, this palette may not deliver it.

Starting from £35.00, the Florence sits at the accessible end of made-to-measure roller blind pricing. As with all made-to-measure blinds, the final price depends on the width and drop you order; the grid above shows how price rises with size.

How it compares

Within So Easy Blinds' roller range, the Florence competes with any other light-filtering option they stock. The meaningful comparison is between light-filtering and dimout: if you are undecided, consider how much light control you actually want with the blind down. Light-filtering gives a bright, airy result; dimout gives something closer to a heavily overcast day. For bedrooms that get morning light, the difference is significant.

Roller blinds as a type offer a clean, flat profile when down and wrap neatly onto the tube when raised. They suit modern and contemporary interiors well. If the room has a more traditional character - exposed beams, period-style architrave, heavily patterned walls - a Roman blind in a textured fabric would give a warmer result, though typically at a higher price point.

If you need blackout for a bedroom or shift worker, a dedicated blackout roller with a coated or bonded backing is the right starting point - the Florence will not give that result regardless of the colour you choose. For rooms where insulation is the priority, a cellular or honeycomb blind offers better thermal performance than any single-layer roller fabric, though at considerably higher cost.

For the living room, home office, or kitchen where diffused privacy and a clean look are the goals, the Florence is a straightforward option at an accessible price. The four-colour range is narrow enough to suggest a deliberate curation, and the from-price makes it approachable as a first blind or a replacement for a failing ready-made.

Likely the same fabric, at other retailers

Florence roller 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 2go from £8.60
  • So Easy Blinds this page from £35.00
  • Blinds By Post from £36.00

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.
