The Harrow is a made-to-measure Roman blind sold by Blinds 2go, offered across 23 colourways and starting from £14.36. Roman blinds fold into horizontal pleats when raised rather than rolling onto a tube, which gives them a softer, more layered appearance than a roller - and the Harrow leans into that with a palette built around versatile neutrals alongside bolder blue and gold options.

Who it suits

Roman blinds are well suited to living rooms and dining rooms where the decorative finish of the fabric is visible even when the blind is down. The folded pleats read as a traditional or country-house detail in traditional settings, and the Harrow's muted end of the palette works equally well in more contemporary rooms. If you want the blind to act as a feature at the window, the Roman format earns its place.

The opacity of the Harrow is not stated by the retailer, so you should confirm with Blinds 2go whether the fabric is light-filtering or dimout before ordering. If your priority is blackout - for a bedroom or a child's room where early-morning light is an issue - check the opacity grade directly; a Roman blind that isn't fully blackout-lined won't do the job on its own even with a heavier fabric.

Roman blinds are not a natural fit for bathrooms or kitchens. The fabric construction and the lining typical of made-to-measure Romans aren't suited to steam or grease; a faux-wood venetian or a PVC roller fabric is a more practical choice for wet or greasy rooms.

The Harrow palette runs to 17 colourways across a warm-neutral core - Barley, Ecru, Oatmeal, Parchment, Cream, Warm Stone - with cooler grey options including Mid Grey, Grey Taupe, Grey Wash, Flint, and Charcoal. Caribbean Blue, Lagoon Blue, and Navy give the range a genuine cool accent group, while Warm Blush and Cinnamon bring in terracotta-leaning warmth. Mimosa Gold is the single warmer pop at the yellow end. The range skews neutral overall; if your room already has strong colour in the walls or furnishings, the Oatmeal, Parchment, or Warm Stone colourways will integrate without competing.

Price by your dimensions

Made to measure from £14.36. Check Blinds 2go for the price at your exact window size.

The from-price places the Harrow at the lower end of the made-to-measure Roman blind market, which is notable because Romans are typically more expensive than rollers of equivalent size. Pricing scales with width and drop, so larger windows will move meaningfully above the from-price - check against your actual measurements before assuming.

How it compares

For a plain-fabric Roman blind at a low from-price, the Harrow is a reasonable option where decorative soft furnishings matter and blackout is not the priority. If blackout is your main requirement, a purpose-built blackout roller with a coated fabric will block more light more reliably and costs less across most size combinations. If thermal performance matters - for a cold bay window in winter, for instance - a cellular or honeycomb blind will outperform any single-fabric Roman; the Harrow's fabric doesn't carry a thermal interlining claim and we have no information to suggest otherwise. Within the Roman category, the Harrow's breadth of neutrals makes it a flexible mid-market choice where you're after an understated fabric look without a high entry price.

A note on care

Roman blind fabrics should be vacuumed with a brush attachment regularly and spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap for any marks. Avoid soaking the fabric or allowing it to become saturated, as this can distort the pleats and affect the way the blind folds when raised. For anything heavier, check the retailer's care instructions before attempting to remove the fabric.
