Laura Ashley's roller blind range at Terrys Fabrics is a made-to-measure collection offered in 127 colourways, starting from £16.36. It is a licensed designer collection rather than a plain fabric line: the colourways are drawn from named Laura Ashley prints and designs, each finished as a standard roller blind on a tube. The result is a printed roller range with the breadth you would expect from a designer brand, covering soft florals, stripes and painterly patterns in a wide spread of shades.
Who it suits
A roller blind is the simplest form of made-to-measure blind: a single piece of fabric on a tube that draws straight up and down. That makes this range well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, studies and hallways where a clean, flat finish is wanted, and the fabric itself does the decorative work. Because the colourways here come from established Laura Ashley designs, the range suits anyone trying to carry a recognisable print through a room, or to match a roller blind to existing soft furnishings in the same design family.
The opacity across the range is standard, so these blinds filter and soften daylight rather than block it. They give privacy and reduce glare while still letting some light through, which suits day rooms and dual-aspect spaces. If you need full darkness for a bedroom, a standard roller will not deliver true blackout, and a dimout or blackout fabric in another range would be the better choice. For a room where the print is the point and gentle light filtering is welcome, the range covers the brief directly.
The colours
127 colours available
The range leans into pattern as much as colour. Across the colourways, pinks and blush tones are the largest group, followed by greys and blues, with yellows, greens, blacks, creams, purples and a smaller run of reds filling out the spread. Many entries pair a named print with a colourway, so a single design such as Rosemore, Belvedere or Animalia appears in several shades, letting you pick both the pattern and the tone independently. That gives the range two axes to choose along: the design itself and the colour it is printed in. The neutral and mid-tone groups are broad enough to settle most rooms, while the brighter blues, yellows and pinks give an accent option without leaving the collection. Printed fabric can read differently on a screen than across a full window, and pattern scale in particular is hard to judge from a thumbnail, so order a sample before committing to a finished blind.

The lowest price we have seen since we began checking (23 Jun).
As a licensed designer collection, this range sits above the entry level for plain roller blinds, which is consistent with branded printed fabrics generally. The price you see depends on the size you enter, since a made-to-measure roller is priced by the area of fabric and the components needed for your window. Use the figures above for your own measurements rather than the from-price, which reflects only the smallest size.
How it compares
Against a plain roller blind range, this collection trades a lower entry price for named designer prints and a far larger choice of patterned colourways. Against roman blinds in the same Laura Ashley designs, a roller gives a flatter, more compact finish that suits smaller or more functional windows, where a roman folds into soft pleats for a softer, more decorative look. Against venetian or vertical blinds, a roller offers no tilt or louvre control: it simply raises and lowers, which keeps it simple but means light control is all or nothing rather than adjustable by angle. For a printed, made-to-measure blind that puts the fabric design first, this range is squarely aimed at that requirement.
A note on care
Roller blind fabric is best kept clean by regular light dusting or a gentle vacuum with a soft brush attachment to lift surface dust before it settles into the print. For marks, spot-clean carefully with a barely damp cloth and avoid soaking the fabric, as standard roller fabrics are not designed to be heavily washed and over-wetting can leave water marks or affect a printed finish. Keep the blind fully lowered when cleaning so the whole surface is reachable, and let it dry completely before rolling it back up to avoid trapping moisture against the tube.
The same Laura Ashley designs, at several retailers
Laura Ashley roller blinds are sold by more than one UK retailer, so the same designs turn up under each shop's own range. They differ in construction, colourway and fitting, so it pays to compare on more than price:
- Terrys Fabrics this page from £16.36
- Blinds By Post from £20.48
- Shade & Story from £41.00
Designs carried by more than one of these retailers include Animalia, Aria, Belvedere, Birtle, Blossoms, Burford Check, Catrin, Cecilia, Charlotte and Conwy.
