The Hampton roller range from Blinds By Post is a made-to-measure roller blind offered in 6 colourways, starting from £22.07. A roller is the simplest blind style - a flat panel of fabric on a tube that draws straight up and down - and this range pairs that clean form with a set of soft, coastal-leaning neutrals built around creams and whites.
Who it suits
This range suits a room you want to keep light and calm. The shades sit in the pale, sandy and off-white part of the spectrum, the kind of muted coastal palette that works with relaxed, natural decor as readily as it does with a modern scheme. Because a roller has no tilt mechanism and no slats or cords to manage, it is an easy, low-fuss choice for kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms and bathrooms, and the neutral tones here keep it quiet against most wall colours.
The fabric is a standard, light-filtering weave rather than a blackout cloth. It diffuses daylight and gives daytime privacy, but it does not black a room out - so for a bedroom where you need total darkness, a blackout or dimout roller would suit better. For general light and privacy in a living space, study or kitchen, the light-filtering finish does what is asked of it.
The colours
6 colours available
The palette runs through soft creams and whites with names that lean into a coastal theme - shades like Beach Cove, Boat House, Picket Fence, Sea Breeze and Silver Sand alongside a plain White. These are gentle, low-contrast neutrals rather than bold colours, so the range is about finding the right warmth and depth of off-white to match your room rather than making a statement. The differences between the shades can be subtle, and a colour on a screen rarely matches the same colour filling a window under your own light, so it is well worth ordering samples before committing to a full-sized blind - especially across a set of close neutrals like these.

Rollers are among the more affordable made-to-measure blind types, and this range starts at an accessible entry point. There is more than one way to fit it: a motorised version starts lowest, while the no-drill perfect-fit option and the cassette-headrail version each start higher, with the cassette finish the dearest of the three. The final figure depends mainly on the width and drop you measure and the fitting you choose.
How it compares
Against a venetian or a vertical blind, a roller offers no tilt control - it is down or rolled up, with no way to angle the light - but it is the cleanest and flattest option, with nothing to dust between. Against a roman blind, this range is plainer and more practical: it lacks the soft fabric pleats of a roman, but it wipes down more easily and copes better with a kitchen or bathroom. The choice of fittings here is a useful point of difference: the perfect-fit option clips into the window bead without drilling for a tidy uPVC finish, the cassette adds a neat headrail that conceals the roll, and the motorised option removes the chain altogether for cordless operation.
A note on care
A roller blind is one of the simplest to maintain. Let it hang fully down from time to time to air the whole panel, and lift surface dust with a soft brush or a vacuum on a low setting. Marks on a standard fabric can usually be eased away with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent worked gently over the spot - test on a hidden corner first, and let the fabric dry completely before rolling it back up so no moisture is trapped in the roll. The cassette headrail, where fitted, can be wiped over with a dry or barely damp cloth.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Hampton 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 By Post this page from £22.07
- New Blinds from £70.46
- Motorised Blinds from £169.67
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.
