The Hayworth 127mm vertical blind is a fabric vane blind sold by Blinds By Post, available in 11 colours with prices from £11.00. Wide 127mm vanes give a broader, less cluttered look than the standard 89mm format, and the range covers enough neutral and tonal options to work across a fairly wide range of interiors.

Who it suits

Vertical blinds are at their best on wide windows, patio doors, and conservatory openings where a horizontal blind would be awkward to operate across a large span. The Hayworth suits those situations well. The 127mm vane width in particular works in rooms with ceiling heights of 2.2m or more, where the broader vane scale sits in better proportion.

The range is less suited to standard-width bedroom windows where a roller or roman blind would offer a softer look and more reliable blackout. Vertical vanes do not seal against light the way a blackout fabric can, and there will be some light bleed between vanes and at the track edges even when the blind is closed - not ideal for rooms that need genuine darkness.

For living rooms with patio doors, conservatories, and offices, the practical case is stronger. The vanes rotate to control the angle of incoming light without fully raising the blind, which is useful when you want to reduce glare on a screen without cutting out all daylight.

The colours

11 colours available

Eleven finishes span a well-considered range of neutrals and cooler tones. The palette leans heavily towards liveable, non-committal colours rather than anything bold. Mist, Whisper and Harmony sit in the cooler grey-white end; Warmth and Honey lean towards beige and soft caramel; Heritage and Shadow move into deeper, richer territory without being dramatic. Fern is the only finish with a clear green cast, and Midnight and Empire anchor the darker end of the range.

Sky and Fern are the exceptions to the otherwise neutral collection - Sky adds a soft blue option, and together with Fern they give the range just enough variation to work where a room has a hint of colour already in its scheme. The overall effect is a palette built to complement rather than lead, which suits the vertical blind's role as a functional background piece in most rooms.

Price by your dimensions

With a from-price at £11.00, the Hayworth sits firmly at the entry-level end of made-to-measure vertical blinds. As with all made-to-measure blinds, the price scales with the dimensions you order - wider and taller blinds will cost correspondingly more, and the widget above gives a realistic figure for your specific window.

How it compares

Against other 127mm fabric verticals in this price bracket, the Hayworth's main differentiator is the breadth of its colour range for a single range at one retailer. Eleven finishes is a solid selection without being overwhelming.

Where the Hayworth would lose out is on rooms that genuinely need blackout performance - for those, a heavy roller fabric with a proper blackout backing will outperform any fabric vertical blind. Similarly, if the window in question is a standard bedroom size rather than a wide opening, the additional complexity of a vane track is rarely worth it compared to a simpler roller or roman installation.

For wide openings in living rooms, conservatories, or offices where the practical advantages of a vertical track are real, the Hayworth is a straightforward, reasonably priced option from a retailer that focuses primarily on made-to-measure blinds.

Fitting and operation

127mm vane verticals use a top track with carriers that hold each vane and allow them to rotate via a wand or cord. The vanes should have bottom weights and a chain connecting them at the foot to prevent them swinging freely in draughts - confirm the specific fitting configuration with Blinds By Post at the time of ordering. Installation follows the standard vertical blind pattern: fix the track to the ceiling or wall above the window, then hang the vanes from the carriers.

A note on care

Fabric vertical vanes are best maintained by vacuuming with a brush attachment periodically. Spot-cleaning with a damp cloth handles most marks. Avoid soaking the vanes, and check with Blinds By Post whether the vanes are removable for more thorough cleaning if that matters for your setting.

Likely the same fabric, at other retailers

Hayworth 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:

  • Swift Direct Blinds from £9.56
  • 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.
