The Lexington range from Make My Blinds is a made-to-measure roller blind offered in 7 colourways, starting from £19.46. A roller is the simplest blind style, a flat panel of fabric on a tube, and this range supplies it on a no-drill perfect-fit frame that clips into the window bead rather than being screwed to the wall or recess.
Who it suits
The perfect-fit frame makes this range a natural choice for uPVC windows and doors, including bifolds and tilt-and-turn windows, where you want to avoid drilling into the frame. The blind clips between the glass and the bead, sits close to the glazing and moves with the window where it opens, which keeps a tidy, built-in look. That makes Lexington well suited to conservatories, kitchens and modern uPVC rooms where a fixed, no-drill fitting is the priority.
Because the range mixes opacities, it can serve two different briefs from one collection. The blackout members block daylight for bedrooms, nurseries and rooms used for screens, while the light-filtering members soften and diffuse daylight for living spaces where you want privacy without losing brightness. That makes it worth deciding what the room needs before settling on a shade, since the opacity is tied to the colourway. Check the opacity of the specific colourway you choose, as it varies across the range rather than being the same throughout, and bear in mind that even a blackout roller on a perfect-fit frame can let a little light past at the very edges of the glass.
The colours
7 colours available
The range covers seven shades with a cool, contemporary lean. Blues feature across two of the colourways (Lagoon and Neptune), alongside a soft Sky, with Orchid bringing a purple note and Saffron a warmer yellow; Spring and Terra complete the set. Between them the range spans light and brighter tones rather than a wide run of plain neutrals, so it suits a room where the blind is meant to add a little colour. Note that opacity is tied to the colourway, mixing blackout and light-filtering fabrics, so the shade you pick and how much light it blocks go together. Colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ, so request a sample before committing to a full-sized blind, particularly where the fabric is also doing the work of darkening a room.

Price around its usual level (checked since 2 Jun).
The range is offered on the perfect-fit frame, so its entry price reflects that no-drill fitting rather than a basic screw-fixed roller. Price is consistent across the colourways, so the choice is about the shade and the opacity you need rather than the budget.
How it compares
Against a standard screw-fixed roller, the perfect-fit version trades a slightly higher entry price for a no-drill, clip-in fitting that suits uPVC and bifolds and leaves the frame untouched. Against a venetian, this roller offers no tilt control - you raise it for view and lower it for privacy - but it gives a cleaner flat-fabric look and, in its blackout members, a darkening a slatted blind cannot match because slat gaps always leak some light. Against a roman blind, the roller is plainer and more practical, where a roman gathers into soft fabric folds.
A note on care
Roller blinds are among the easier blind types to maintain. Wipe the fabric gently with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth to lift dust and light marks, and avoid soaking light-filtering fabrics, which can mark if heavily wetted. The perfect-fit frame can be unclipped from the window bead if you need to clean the glass behind it or take the blind down for a thorough clean. Let the fabric dry fully before winding the blind back up.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Lexington 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 £16.15
- Make My Blinds this page from £19.46
- Shade & Story from £51.00
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.
