The Odin Motorised UK range is a made-to-measure motorised roller blind sold by Motorised Blinds, available in 9 colours and starting from £186.35. Where a standard roller relies on a chain or cord, this range uses a motor built into the tube, giving cord-free operation throughout - useful in rooms where a dangling chain would be a nuisance or a safety concern.

Who it suits

Motorised operation suits a few situations well. Rooms with windows that are difficult to reach - above radiators, at height, or behind fitted furniture - benefit most, since you operate the blind from a switch or remote rather than reaching for a chain. It also eliminates the cord-safety concern in children's bedrooms entirely: there is nothing to pull.

For living rooms and bedrooms where you want clean sight lines and no hardware showing, removing the chain makes a visible difference. The range covers a neutral palette that leans domestic rather than contract, so it fits most residential settings without looking out of place.

Motorised rollers are less well suited to rooms where you just need a basic, low-cost solution - the motor adds cost relative to a chain-operated blind, and if the wall near the window already has a cord that doesn't bother you, the extra outlay may not be worth it.

The colours

9 colours available

Nine finishes run from soft neutrals to richer tones. Parchment and Mist sit at the lighter end - pale and airy for rooms that need to feel bright with the blind partially down. Beige and Lace are warmer mid-tones that work alongside natural materials and wooden furniture. Duckegg and Sky bring cooler blue-green hues, useful if you want the blind to read as an accent rather than disappear into the wall. Ocean is deeper than Sky and would hold its own in a room with bold decoration. Charcoal and Night are the dark options - Night in particular absorbs light rather than reflecting it.

Eight of the nine finishes are listed as premium, meaning they are priced above the base from-price. Only Parchment sits at the entry level. If you are drawn to any of the named colours beyond Parchment, budget for the step up when comparing quotes.

The retailer does not publish opacity ratings per finish in the range listing, so it is worth confirming with Motorised Blinds whether the specific colour you want is blackout, dimout, or light-filtering before ordering - fabric opacity can vary between shades even within the same range.

Price by your dimensions

Starting from £186.35, this range sits at the premium end for roller blinds once you factor in the motor. That is consistent with motorised blinds across the market: the mechanism adds to the cost regardless of the fabric. Pricing scales with the window size in the standard way for made-to-measure; wider and taller windows will move the price up from the base figure.

How it compares

Against a chain-operated roller in a comparable fabric, the Odin Motorised will cost more - sometimes substantially so. If the primary question is covering the window at a sensible price, a standard roller will do that more economically. The motorised format earns its premium only when the cord-free or remote-operated aspect genuinely matters to the room or the user.

If blackout performance in a bedroom is the main requirement, it is worth checking whether the specific finish you need from this range meets a true blackout standard, or whether a chain-operated blackout roller with side channels would deliver a darker result for less. Motorised operation and blackout fabric are independent attributes; this range may offer both, but confirm the opacity of your chosen colour before committing.

Fitting and operation

Because the motor replaces the chain mechanism, fitting involves a power supply consideration that a standard roller does not. Motorised Blinds will specify whether the range runs on rechargeable battery, a mains connection, or a solar panel - check this before measuring up, since a mains-powered motor needs a cable route to the window. The headrail dimensions may also differ from a standard roller, so measure carefully if you are replacing an existing blind in a shallow recess.
