The Menton is a made-to-measure roman blind sold by 247 Blinds in 12 colourways, with prices starting from £14.54. The palette leans firmly into neutral territory - warm naturals and cool greys - making it a straightforward option for anyone decorating in current UK interior trends without wanting to commit to a stronger colour.

Who it suits

Roman blinds fold into horizontal pleats as they rise, giving a softer, more decorative appearance than a roller blind. That character suits living rooms and bedrooms where the window treatment is expected to add visual weight rather than disappear. The Menton's neutral palette reinforces that - Jute and Oyster in particular work well in rooms with warm-toned furniture, natural wood flooring, or linen upholstery.

The opacity of the Menton is not stated in the retailer's range description, so if light control is a priority - particularly in a bedroom - confirm with 247 Blinds whether the fabric is blackout, dimout, or light-filtering before ordering. Roman blinds with a standard fabric lining offer useful but not complete light blocking; for a bedroom where genuine darkness is needed, a blackout-lined or blackout-fabric option is the safer choice.

For bathrooms or kitchens, roman blinds made from standard fabric are not recommended - moisture and grease will eventually mark most non-PVC fabrics and the pleated construction is harder to wipe clean than a flat roller.

The colours

12 colours available

Three finishes are offered: Jute, Oyster, and Stone Grey. Jute is a warm, mid-toned beige with a natural-fibre character - it reads as earthy and unpretentious in a room with plenty of natural light. Oyster is the palest of the three, a near-white with a slight warm undertone that keeps walls feeling bright without the starkness of a pure white fabric. Stone Grey is the cool option, a soft mid-grey that pairs well with contemporary palettes using blues, charcoals, or white paintwork.

All three sit in the same neutral family, so this is not a range for anyone seeking contrast or bold colour. The breadth is deliberately restrained, which also means the range reads consistently across a home if you fit it in more than one room.

Starting from £14.54, the Menton sits at the more accessible end of roman blind pricing. Roman blinds are generally more expensive than rollers because of the additional fabric and construction involved, so a sub-£20 entry point is notable. As with all made-to-measure blinds, the final price rises with width and drop - the dimensions table above shows how costs scale for common window sizes.

How it compares

Within roman blinds as a category, the Menton competes with other neutral-palette, entry-level options. Its main alternative for a living room or bedroom is a similarly priced roller blind in a plain fabric, which would cost less and be easier to clean but sacrifice the softer, more furnished look that romans deliver. If thermal performance is a priority, a roman blind with a thermal interlining - or a cellular honeycomb blind - will outperform a standard-fabric roman; the Menton does not advertise a thermal interlining, so factor that in if heat retention is a key consideration.

If light-blocking for a bedroom is non-negotiable, look at blackout roman blinds specifically rather than assuming this range will perform in that way. The fabric's opacity should be confirmed before purchase.

For rooms where the visual warmth of a roman is appealing and full blackout is not required, the Menton's limited but coherent palette and accessible from-price make it a practical starting point.

A note on care

Roman blind fabrics - particularly polyester or polyester-blend fabrics - are best maintained by vacuuming with a brush attachment monthly and spot-cleaning marks with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid saturating the fabric, as roman blinds are more difficult to remove and rehang than roller blinds. If the fabric is removable, check 247 Blinds' care instructions before attempting a full wash.
