The Haven Motorised Roller Blind is Motorised Blinds' entry into electric roller blinds, sold in 16 colourways and starting from £52.00. Unlike a standard chain-operated roller, it runs on a motor housed in the tube, removing the hanging cord entirely - a meaningful difference in rooms where cord management matters.

Who it suits

The absence of a control cord makes Haven a natural fit for children's bedrooms and nurseries, where cord-free operation removes a safety concern without requiring a cordless push-up mechanism. Motorised operation also suits tall or deep windows where a chain would be awkward to reach; a remote or smart-home integration handles what a physical chain can't.

Living rooms and home offices benefit from motorised blinds when the window is behind furniture or otherwise difficult to reach. If you want to adjust several windows from one position - or tie them to a timer for early-morning light control - the motor pays for itself in convenience.

The range covers roller blinds broadly, including colourways categorised as cream, grey, white, and twilight fabrics. Without a stated opacity class in the range listing, it is worth confirming directly with Motorised Blinds whether a specific colourway is blackout, dimout, or light-filtering before ordering, particularly for bedroom use where light control is the priority.

The colours

16 colours available

Haven's palette runs across two broad camps: warmer tones and cooler neutrals. The warmer group includes Brulee, Warmth Ember, and Dawn Ray - soft, biscuit-adjacent shades that read well in living rooms and kitchens with natural wood finishes. Citrus Zest and Amethyst introduce mild colour against what is otherwise a neutral-heavy collection, while Ocean Wave, Naval Twilight, and Verdant Grove give the range some depth for those wanting something beyond off-white.

The cool neutrals - Ash Smoke, Astral Grey, Impact Slate, Pebble Drift, Sculpted Stone, and Iron - cover the grey spectrum thoroughly, from near-white to mid-slate. Snowfall completes the collection as the cleanest white option. The naming style across the range is descriptive rather than literal; if colour accuracy matters, check the retailer's swatch or imagery before committing, since names like "Siren's Call" and "Verdant Grove" don't indicate a shade precisely.

Price by your dimensions

At a from-price just above £127, Haven sits in the lower-to-mid range for motorised roller blinds - motorisation adds cost over a manual equivalent, and this range reflects that. Pricing will increase with width and drop, as with all made-to-measure blinds; the grid above shows what different sizes cost against your specific dimensions.

How it compares

Against a standard chain-operated roller, Haven costs more but eliminates cord management and suits harder-to-reach windows. If cord safety and convenience aren't priorities and the window is straightforward to operate manually, a non-motorised roller blind will cost less for the same fabric quality.

Within motorised rollers, the decision usually comes down to colour range and motor type (battery versus mains-wired). Haven's 16 colourways give a reasonable selection for most room schemes, particularly for those working in greyed neutrals or warm off-whites. If you need true blackout performance, confirm the specific colourway's opacity rating before ordering; not all roller fabrics in a motorised range are blackout by default, and the categories suggest some variants may be in a twilight or translucent class.

Fitting and operation

Motorised roller blinds require either a mains power connection to the motor housing or a battery-powered motor, depending on the specific configuration sold. Motorised Blinds does not publish the power source for Haven in the range listing; confirm whether the blind is battery or mains before ordering, particularly if you are planning a recessed installation where cable routing would be difficult. Fitting otherwise follows standard roller blind practice: inside or outside recess, top fix or face fix.
