The Linden range from So Easy Blinds is a made-to-measure vertical blind offered in 6 colourways, starting from £51.57. Vertical blinds hang as a row of fabric louvres that tilt to control light and draw to one side to clear the window, which makes them a natural fit for the wide openings a roller or roman struggles to span.
Who it suits
Vertical blinds come into their own on wide windows, patio doors and conservatories. The louvres tilt together to let you angle daylight in or close the blind for privacy, and they draw to the side so you can step through a doorway without raising the whole blind. Linden's fabric is light-filtering, so the louvres soften and diffuse daylight rather than blacking it out - good for living rooms, dining rooms and conservatory spaces where you want comfortable, even light through the day.
One honest limitation of the style: even tilted closed, the louvres leave small gaps where they overlap, so some light always leaks through. A vertical blind is therefore not a blackout solution. If a properly dark room is the goal, a blackout roller or pleated blind suits better; for adjustable daytime light and privacy across a broad window, Linden is well matched.
A further practical point is the way verticals handle a tall opening as well as a wide one. The louvres run the full drop in continuous lengths, so a floor-to-ceiling window or a set of patio doors is dressed cleanly without the horizontal lines you would get from stacking several smaller blinds. The wand-and-chain control tilts and draws the whole set together, which keeps a large window easy to operate day to day.
The colours
6 colours available
Linden is a focused collection that leans neutral. The palette runs through greys and whites with a softer purple in the mix - the colourways here are Lunar, Mineral, Orchid, Summer, Willow and Snowdrop - so most of the range is built to sit quietly in a scheme while one warmer, lilac-leaning tone offers a gentle accent. That spread is enough to find a neutral that works with an existing room without the choice becoming overwhelming. Colour on a screen rarely matches colour filling a window, so request a sample before committing, particularly when you are matching the louvres to a wall or floor you already have.

Vertical blinds are generally among the more affordable ways to dress a wide window, since one blind covers a span that might otherwise need several smaller blinds, and Linden sits in that accessible band. The price you pay is driven mostly by the width and drop of your opening, so a patio-door-sized blind naturally costs more than a standard window.
How it compares
Against a roller or roman, the vertical's advantage is reach and adjustability across a wide opening, plus the side-draw that keeps a doorway clear. Against a venetian, the louvres are fabric rather than slats, giving a softer look but the same overlap light leak when closed. Within vertical fabrics, Linden's light-filtering cloth keeps a room bright and diffused; if you need darkness, a blackout vertical fabric would shade the room more heavily, though no vertical blind seals out light entirely.
A note on care
Vertical louvres are easy to keep tidy. Dust them regularly with a soft brush or a vacuum on a low setting, running down the length of each louvre. For marks, wipe gently with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent, taking care not to over-wet the fabric. A practical advantage of the style is that the louvres are individually replaceable, so if one is damaged or stained beyond cleaning you can swap a single louvre rather than the whole blind.
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 from £11.93
- So Easy Blinds this page 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.
