The Legacy range from So Easy Blinds is a made-to-measure vertical blind offered in 3 colours, starting from £48.44. It is a louvre blind: fabric slats hang from a headrail, tilt to set the light level and draw to one side to clear the window. The Legacy cloth is light-filtering, so it diffuses daylight rather than blocking it, and the palette is a small set of warm creams and soft neutrals.
Who it suits
Vertical blinds suit wide windows, patio doors and conservatories better than most styles, because the louvres draw aside like a curtain to open the full aperture and can be angled to manage sun across a broad pane. The Legacy range fits that with a compact, warm-neutral palette and a light-filtering cloth that keeps a room bright while softening glare and giving daytime privacy. That makes it a comfortable choice for a living room, dining room or conservatory where you want diffused daylight rather than darkness.
If you need to black out a room, this is not the cloth for it: light-filtering fabric diffuses light rather than blocking it, and vertical louvres leave small gaps at the overlaps where some light always leaks through. A blackout fabric would suit a bedroom better.
The colours
3 colours available
Legacy is a small, tightly coordinated collection of warm creams and soft neutrals - shades such as Ivory and Stone, with a deeper neutral in Thunder - rather than a broad colour run. With only a few closely related tones, the choice is between subtle variations of the same warm-neutral idea, which makes the range easy to settle on and easy to match to natural materials, timber and pale walls. A compact palette like this is also forgiving in a room that already has a lot going on, since the blind blends in rather than competing with the rest of the scheme. Colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ considerably, so request a sample before committing to a full-sized blind, especially with creams and stones where a small shift in warmth is hard to judge online and only becomes obvious once daylight passes through the cloth at the window.

The range is offered with a single standard fitting, so the starting price reflects a straightforward headrail installation. Vertical blinds sit among the more affordable made-to-measure styles for a wide window, since one blind spans a width that would otherwise need several smaller blinds.
How it compares
Against a roller blind, a vertical gives you tilt as well as draw: you can angle the louvres to admit light at a chosen angle, then pull the blind aside to clear the glass, which a flat roller cannot do. Against a horizontal venetian, the vertical louvres handle tall, wide windows more gracefully and gather less dust along their length. The trade-off is the overlaps between louvres, which leak a little light, so a vertical is about managed daylight and privacy rather than total darkness. Within the vertical category, Legacy is the calm, light-filtering option in a compact warm-neutral palette.
A note on care
Vertical louvres are simple to keep. Dust them with a soft brush or a vacuum brush attachment along the length of each slat, and spot-clean marks with a damp cloth. One practical advantage of the style is that a single damaged louvre can be replaced on its own rather than the whole blind, so a snag or stain need not mean a new blind. Draw the louvres flat before cleaning so you can reach the full face of each one.
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 from £11.21
- So Easy Blinds this page 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.
