The Hanson range is a made-to-measure vertical blind collection sold by Blinds By Post, spanning 13 finishes and priced from £11.00. It sits firmly at the accessible end of the market, making it a practical first choice for anyone furnishing a conservatory, bay, or wide sliding-door opening without a large budget.

Who it suits

Vertical blinds are the natural fit for wide openings. Patio doors, large picture windows, and conservatory side panels all benefit from vanes that slide smoothly along a top track and rotate to fine-tune the light rather than requiring the whole blind to be raised. Horizontal alternatives - rollers, Romans, venetians - become unwieldy at large spans; verticals handle them without effort.

The Hanson range is best suited to living rooms, conservatories, and home offices where light filtering is the priority. The stiffened polyester vanes will rotate to a near-closed position to reduce glare on a screen or soften afternoon sun, then open fully to take in the view. If complete bedroom blackout is essential, check with the retailer whether any finish in this range achieves a full blackout rating; polyester vertical fabrics can let some light through even at full closure, so managing expectations before ordering is sensible.

The range is not the obvious choice for bathrooms, where PVC vanes would be more moisture-tolerant, or for rooms where a softer, warmer aesthetic is the goal - a Roman blind in a natural-fibre fabric would read differently.

The colours

13 colours available

Thirteen finishes cover a broad spread without much overlap. The neutral mid-tones - Sand, Shell, and Astor - will work in most rooms and are the safest choices if the wall colour is already carrying decorative interest. Honey adds a warm biscuit note for rooms leaning towards natural tones.

The cooler end of the range is well populated: Dusk, Marine, and Denim move from a soft pale blue through to a more saturated mid-blue, while Midnight provides a deep, near-navy option for those who want stronger contrast. Graphite and Shadow handle the grey corner, with Shadow reading darker on screen and in the room. Nori is an earthy green-grey. Chilli and Ballet offer two departure points from the neutral run - a warm red-adjacent tone and a softer pink respectively.

There are no patterned finishes in this range; all thirteen are plains. That restraint suits spaces where the blind is a background element rather than a feature, and it makes coordinating with existing soft furnishings straightforward.

The from-price puts this range among the more accessible vertical blind options. Made-to-measure pricing typically scales with width and drop, so larger windows will cost more - the widget above will show you the calculated price for your specific dimensions. It is worth noting that vertical blind pricing climbs more steeply with width than with drop, since width determines how many vanes are needed.

How it compares

Within the vertical blind category, Hanson occupies a sensible middle position: it offers more colour choice than a purely utilitarian plain-white range while staying well short of premium textured or woven-look vane collections. If the palette here is too limited or you want a fabric that reads as more tactile, a wider vertical blind collection with embossed or weave-effect vanes would be worth comparing.

If the window is not especially wide and light control is the main concern, a roller blind in a dimout or blackout fabric could achieve better edge sealing than any vertical. Verticals suit wide spans; for a standard-width bedroom window, other blind types will often serve better.

For anyone equipping a conservatory or fitting patio-door blinds where a fabric vertical is the right call, the Hanson range offers a breadth of colour that covers most neutral and mid-tone requirements from a single retailer at a competitive price.

Likely the same fabric, at other retailers

Hanson 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 By Post this page from £11.00
  • So Easy Blinds from £51.57

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.
