The Konya is a made-to-measure blackout roller blind sold by Blinds By Post, available in 21 colours with prices starting from £30.00. Its main claim is breadth: the palette runs from neutrals and whites through a full spectrum of blues, greens, greys, and even a Scarlett Red and Hot Pink - a wider spread than most blackout rollers at this price point. For anyone who needs a specific colour rather than just a generic dark or neutral, that variety is the range's clearest practical advantage.
Who it suits
The Konya is well placed for bedrooms, where a blackout fabric earns its keep by blocking early-morning light. The retailer describes the range as blackout, so it should read opaque against a backlight test - though as with any fabric blind, some light will still leak around the edges of an inside-recess fit. For shift workers, parents of young children, or anyone who sleeps past a British summer sunrise, that edge leak is worth mitigating with a face-fit or a well-overlapping outside mount rather than relying on the fabric alone. The colour breadth here also makes the Konya practical for children's rooms, where coordinating the blind to a painted wall or bedding is often a priority.
The range is less well suited to living rooms or home offices, where a blackout fabric on a sunny day can make the room noticeably dim with the blind down. A dimout or light-filtering roller would give better balance in those spaces, letting in some daylight when the blind is needed for privacy but full darkness is not wanted.
Kitchens and bathrooms are not ideal for standard fabric rollers either; a PVC-backed fabric or an aluminium venetian will handle moisture and cooking grease better. The Konya's product listing does not specify a moisture-resistant backing, so treat it as a dry-room option and look elsewhere for wet-room installations.
The colours
21 colours available
The palette splits broadly into neutrals, cool tones, and a handful of bolder accent colours. On the neutral side, Oat Beige, Stone Beige, Chalk White, Porcelain White, Lace Cream, Oyster Cream, and Butter Cream give plenty of choice for rooms where the blind should recede. Fossil Grey, Iron Grey, Steel Grey, and Whisper Grey cover a wide grey range from warm-leaning to cool.
The cooler side includes Duck Egg Blue, Ink Blue, and Royal Blue - distinct enough that the three blue options address genuinely different looks, from a soft pastel to a deep navy tone. Olive Green and Vine Green do the same for the greens. For anything more expressive, Onyx Black, Hot Pink, Sloe Purple, Scarlett Red, and Primrose Yellow round out the range.
With 21 finishes all listed at the same from-price, there are no premium surcharges to account for when choosing a colour. You can pick Onyx Black or Primrose Yellow for exactly the same cost as the neutral Chalk White - a useful simplicity when colour-matching to a specific room.
Price by your dimensions
Enter your window size. We round up to the next standard size, which matches how the retailer actually quotes you.
Starting from £30.00 made-to-measure, the Konya sits at the entry-level end of the UK blackout roller market. Prices increase with width and drop in the usual step pattern - a standard small window will be noticeably cheaper than a wide bay - so if you are fitting multiple windows, it is worth pricing each individually rather than assuming a flat per-blind cost. The grid above shows the full picture by size.
How it compares
Against other blackout rollers at a similar from-price, the Konya stands out on colour count - 21 distinct finishes is more than many ranges at this level, which often cap out at 10-15. If you need an exact colour match for a room scheme, that breadth gives more to work with.
Where it may fall short is if you need confirmed moisture resistance, a cassette housing for a cleaner look, or a documented child-cord-safe mechanism. A blackout roller with a built-in cassette or one specifically rated for bathrooms would be worth comparing if those details matter for your installation.
For light control in a dry room where colour choice is a priority, the Konya is a straightforward option at a competitive starting price.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Bella 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 £7.31
- Blinds By Post this page from £19.70
- So Easy Blinds from £68.15
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.
