The Odin range from So Easy Blinds is a made-to-measure vertical blind offered in 5 colourways, starting from £54.65. 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 sensible fit for wide windows, patio doors and conservatory runs. This is a compact collection built around a soft, light-filtering cloth in a tight set of practical shades.
Who it suits
Vertical blinds come into their own on tall or wide openings - sliding patio doors, bi-fold doors and the broad windows you find in conservatories - because the louvres draw aside cleanly and you tilt them for privacy without losing the view entirely. Odin suits a room where you want gentle, diffused daylight rather than full darkness: the fabric filters light rather than blocking it, so a sunlit living room or a study keeps a soft glow through the day.
The small palette keeps the choice simple. The neutral shades sit quietly in most schemes, while the deeper Midnight gives a more defined frame for the window. If your priority is a fully darkened bedroom, this light-filtering cloth is not the right tool - a blackout vertical or a blackout roller would serve that brief better. On a south-facing room that catches strong afternoon sun, the louvres let you angle the daylight away from a seating area or a screen without closing the blind off entirely, which is the kind of fine adjustment a vertical does well and a fixed panel cannot.
The colours
5 colours available
The Odin palette spans cream and neutral tones - Flax, Myth, Sea and Solas - through to the dark Midnight, so the range runs from soft and pale to a single deep anchor shade. That spread covers the common requirement of matching a wall or floor without an exact bespoke match, while Midnight offers contrast for a room that wants the window picked out. Colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ a good deal, so order a sample before committing to a full-sized blind, particularly for the paler creams where the difference between shades is subtle.

The range is offered with a standard fitting from £54.65. Vertical blinds sit among the more economical made-to-measure styles for covering a large opening, since one blind spans a width that would otherwise take several rollers, so the cost per window stays reasonable on the wide openings these blinds are made for.
How it compares
Against a roller blind, a vertical gives you tilt control and the ability to draw the louvres aside, which a flat roller panel cannot do, and it scales to much wider windows from a single headrail. Against a venetian, the fabric louvres read softer and warmer than metal or wood slats, though like a venetian the louvres leak a little light where they overlap, so there is no true blackout from this light-filtering cloth. Compared with a pleated or cellular blind, the vertical is the simpler, more economical answer on a very wide span, while the cellular style would add insulation that a vertical does not. For a wide, sunny room where you want adjustable, diffused light rather than total darkness, Odin covers the requirement straightforwardly.
A note on care
Fabric louvres need little upkeep. Dust them with a soft brush or a vacuum on a low setting, and lift surface marks with a lightly dampened cloth rather than soaking the fabric. Because each louvre hangs separately, a single damaged slat can be replaced on its own without redoing the whole blind - a practical advantage on a busy patio door where one louvre may take the wear.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Odin 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 £12.65
- Blinds Direct from £15.62
- Vertical Blinds Direct from £25.74
- Wilsons Blinds from £25.74
- So Easy Blinds this page from £54.65
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.
