The Legacy range from Blinds By Post is a made-to-measure vertical blind offered in 5 colourways, starting from £11.21. It is a compact, neutral-led range: the louvres come in a small set of pale creams and a deeper purple shade, giving a quiet, practical choice rather than a broad palette. Vertical blinds hang as individual fabric louvres that tilt to control light and draw to one side to clear the glass, which is what shapes both the look and the use of this range.
Who it suits
Vertical blinds are the natural fit for wide windows, sliding doors and patio doors, where their side-drawing action clears the full opening rather than stacking at the top. The louvres tilt together so you can angle daylight in or out for privacy without fully closing the blind, and they draw across to one or both sides when you want the glass clear. That makes the Legacy range a good match for living rooms, conservatories and offices with large or full-height windows, and for any opening where a top-down blind would be awkward to use.
The opacity here is standard, so the louvres filter daylight and give privacy while still admitting some light. They will not black a room out, so for a bedroom needing full darkness a blackout fabric in another range would serve better. A practical advantage of any vertical blind is that the louvres are individually replaceable: if one is damaged you can usually swap a single slat rather than the whole blind, which suits busy rooms and households with children or pets.
The colours
5 colours available
This is a deliberately small palette. The colourways are weighted towards neutrals, with creams making up the bulk of the range alongside a single deeper purple tone. That keeps the choice simple and easy to settle into a room: the pale neutrals recede against most walls and woodwork, suiting wide windows where a louvre blind already covers a large surface and a busy colour could dominate. The purple option gives one step away from neutral for a room that wants a little more depth. With only a handful of colourways, the range is best thought of as a clean, functional set rather than a decorative collection, so it pairs well with rooms where the window treatment is meant to be unobtrusive. Colour on a screen can differ from colour filling a full-height window, so request a sample before ordering.

Vertical blinds are among the more affordable made-to-measure blind types for covering large openings, and this range sits at an accessible entry point. Because a vertical blind is priced by the width and drop of the opening and the number of louvres it needs, a wide patio door will naturally cost more than a standard window. Use the figures above for your own measurements rather than the from-price, which reflects the smallest size only.
How it compares
Against a roller or roman blind, a vertical blind is the better tool for wide and full-height openings: it draws to the side to clear the glass and tilts for adjustable light, where a roller only raises and lowers and a roman folds upward into pleats. Against venetian blinds, verticals handle tall windows and doors more gracefully and are easier to draw clear, though horizontal venetians can give finer tilt control on smaller windows. Within vertical ranges, Legacy is a small neutral set rather than a wide-colour collection, so it suits buyers who want a straightforward, understated louvre blind rather than a large choice of shades.
A note on care
Vertical louvres are simple to maintain. Dust them regularly with a soft cloth or a vacuum on a low setting with a brush attachment, running down each louvre rather than across to avoid catching the edges. For marks, spot-clean gently with a barely damp cloth and let the louvre dry fully before tilting the blind closed again. Because the louvres are individually replaceable, a single damaged slat can be swapped out rather than replacing the whole blind, which keeps the range easy to live with over time.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Legacy 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:
- Blinds By Post this page from £11.21
- So Easy Blinds from £48.44
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.
