The Hayden roller blind is a made-to-measure polyester roller available at Blinds By Post in 11 colours, starting from £52.00. The palette sits firmly in the neutral-to-muted register - no bold primary tones - which makes it a sensible pick for rooms where the blind is meant to recede rather than define the space.

Who it suits

The Hayden's colour range reads as a living-room and home-office blind first. Cooler greys such as Mist and Shadow work well in north-facing rooms where you want the wall and window treatment to feel unified rather than contrasting. Warmer tones - Warmth, Honey, Heritage - suit south or west-facing rooms where the afternoon light is already strong and you want the blind to feel calm when it is down.

The range lands in the light-filtering to dimout territory based on the categories it appears in; the retailer does not describe it as a blackout blind, so confirm opacity directly with Blinds By Post if you need complete darkness for a bedroom or shift-worker's sleep. For living rooms and home offices where you want daytime privacy without plunging the room into darkness, a dimout or light-filtering roller is typically the better fit anyway.

Kitchens and bathrooms are not an obvious home for this range. If moisture resistance is the priority, a PVC-backed fabric would be a safer choice.

The colours

11 colours available

The eleven finishes split loosely into cool neutrals and warm neutrals. On the cool side you have Mist, Shadow, Midnight, Sky, and Whisper - ranging from pale near-white through mid-grey to a deeper charcoal. The warm side covers Warmth, Honey, Heritage, Fern, Harmony, and Empire, which move through sandy beige, soft green, and deeper earthy tones. There are no bright colours or strong contrasts here; the whole range is edited towards versatility and easy co-ordination with existing furnishings.

Fern and Harmony are the most distinctive departures - if you want a blind with a hint of colour rather than a straightforward neutral, those are the ones to consider. Midnight gives the most contrast against a white reveal and is the most likely candidate if some light-reduction performance is a factor alongside appearance. Empire and Heritage occupy the middle of the warm group, neither as light as Whisper nor as emphatic as Midnight; they tend to work well in rooms with mixed natural and artificial lighting where a strongly directional colour might look inconsistent across the day.

Price by your dimensions

Enter your window size. We round up to the next standard size, which matches how the retailer actually quotes you.

At a from-price just above £50 this sits in the mid-range bracket for UK made-to-measure roller blinds. Prices rise with width and drop as with all made-to-measure rollers, so a large bay-window blind will cost noticeably more than the entry price suggests - use the grid above to find the cost at your specific dimensions before committing.

How it compares

Within the roller category the Hayden occupies the comfortable middle ground: not the entry-level end of the market, but priced accessibly relative to more textured or specialised fabrics. If your priority is genuine blackout performance - for a bedroom where street-light intrusion is the problem - a dedicated blackout-fabric roller with a coated backing would be a better fit than this range. Similarly, if thermal insulation is the main concern, a cellular or honeycomb blind will deliver measurably better performance than any single-layer roller. The Hayden earns its place where the brief is simple: a clean, neutral roller blind that coordinates easily and stays out of the way.

A note on care

Polyester roller fabrics like this one are best maintained by vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, and spot-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap for marks. Avoid soaking the fabric or subjecting it to heavy scrubbing, which can disturb the stiffening backing and affect how the blind hangs.

Likely the same fabric, at other retailers

Hayden 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:

  • Swift Direct Blinds from £10.00
  • Blinds By Post this page from £52.00
  • So Easy Blinds from £60.29

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.
