The Linden range from Blinds By Post is a made-to-measure vertical blind offered in 6 colours, starting from £11.93. It is a light-filtering louvre blind built around a small, coordinated palette of soft neutrals with a single accent, aimed at windows where you want adjustable daylight rather than total darkness.
Who it suits
Vertical blinds hang as a row of fabric louvres that tilt to angle the light and draw to one side to clear the glass. That makes them a natural fit for wide windows, patio doors and conservatories, where a single panel of fabric would be unwieldy. The Linden palette stays quiet and neutral, so it suits living rooms, studies and bedrooms that want light control without a strong colour statement, while the one purple in the run gives a softer accent option for a room that can take it.
Because the louvres tilt independently of the draw, you can let in angled daylight while keeping a degree of privacy, then pull the whole blind aside when you want the full view. For a bright south-facing room the tilt is the main attraction, letting you cut glare across the day without shutting the window off completely.
Across a conservatory or a run of patio doors, where the area to cover is large, that draw-to-one-side action is the practical advantage: the louvres stack neatly to clear the whole opening rather than having to lift a single heavy panel. The neutral Linden tones also keep a big expanse of fabric feeling light rather than dominant, which matters when the blind covers most of a wall of glass.
The colours
6 colours available
The Linden palette is built around soft neutrals: Lunar, Mineral and Willow sit in the grey and pale-stone register, Snowdrop gives a clean white, and Orchid brings the one purple accent. Summer rounds out the run as a lighter warm tone. It is a tight, coordinated collection rather than a sprawling colour chart, so the choice is about finding the right neutral for an existing scheme rather than picking from dozens of brights. Colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ considerably, so it is worth requesting a sample before committing to a full-sized blind, particularly for the paler greys and whites where the cast matters.

Vertical blinds are among the more affordable made-to-measure styles, and Linden sits at an accessible entry point. Only the standard fitting is offered in this range, so the from-price is the straightforward starting point and the cost rises with the size of the window rather than with the fitting you choose.
How it compares
As a fabric louvre blind, Linden is a light-filtering style: the slats reduce and soften daylight rather than block it, and the small overlaps between louvres always admit a little light, so this is not a blackout option. If a fully dark bedroom is the priority, a roller or pleated blind in a blackout fabric would serve better, and it is worth deciding which matters more before choosing a style.
Against a roller, a vertical blind trades the roller's single flat panel for the tilt-and-draw flexibility that suits wide spans and doors, where a roller is simpler but fixed as one sheet. Against a horizontal venetian, the vertical louvres handle tall or door-height windows more gracefully and clear to the side rather than stacking at the top, and the soft fabric gives a gentler look than a venetian's hard slats. Among made-to-measure styles generally, a vertical blind like Linden is one of the more economical ways to dress a wide or door-height window, which is part of its appeal for conservatories and large openings.
A note on care
Vertical louvres are simple to keep tidy. Dust them with a soft brush or a vacuum on a low setting, and spot-clean marks with a damp cloth rather than soaking the fabric. A practical advantage of the style is that individual louvres can be replaced if one is damaged or stained, so a single mishap need not mean a whole new blind. Draw the louvres flat and tilt them open before cleaning so you can reach the full face of each slat.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Linden 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 £11.93
- So Easy Blinds from £51.57
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.
