The Orla Kiely no-drill roman from Blinds By Post puts the designer's Stem prints onto a clip-in fitting for UPVC windows, with 31 designs from £19.24. It is a tighter edit than the drilled version - the core Stem motifs in a focused set of scales and colourways - on a frame that installs without screws or drilling. The draw is the combination: a recognisable contemporary print and a fitting you can put up, and take down, without marking the window.
Who it suits
The no-drill fitting makes this the Orla Kiely option for renters, for new-build UPVC windows under warranty, or for anyone who would simply rather not drill. Confirm the clip system suits your window profile before ordering - it is designed around the UPVC bead, not timber or aluminium frames.
Beyond the fitting, it suits the same rooms as any Orla Kiely blind: contemporary and mid-century-leaning living rooms, bedrooms and studies that want a single graphic pattern. The range is smaller than the drilled version, so there is less palette to wade through - an advantage if you find a large catalogue daunting, a limitation if you had a specific obscure colourway in mind.
It is a furnishing fabric, so keep it to dry rooms.
The prints
31 colours available
The selection centres on the Stem in its main forms - Linear Stem, Solid Stem, Jumbo Stem, Multi Stem - plus the Botanica Stem and a Spot Flower. Colourways run from the soft (powder blue, pebble, warm grey) to the bold (sunflower, liquorice, red multi). With fewer designs than the drilled range, the choice is mostly about scale and whether you want the print as a calm presence or a strong accent. The smaller-scale options and the pebble and warm-grey colourways are the understated picks; the Sunflower and Multi designs are the statement ones.
Price by your dimensions
Made to measure from £19.24. Check Blinds By Post for the price at your exact window size.
The range starts from £19.24. Enter your width and drop for the made-to-measure price, which rounds up to the next standard size. As a no-drill clip-in blind, measure to the retailer's no-drill guidance rather than standard recess instructions.
How it compares
Against the drilled Orla Kiely roman, this trades a wider design catalogue and the rigidity of a screwed bracket for fitting that leaves no marks - the right call for rented or warranty-sensitive UPVC windows, less necessary if you own the place and will drill.
Against no-drill ranges in other styles, the choice is one of look: this brings a graphic, mid-century print where a heritage range would bring florals or botanicals. For a contemporary UPVC window where you want pattern without drilling, it is the most direct route to the Orla Kiely aesthetic.
Fittings for this fabric
The same fabric and blind type is sold in more than one fitting:
- Standard and No-drill (twist-fit) from £19.24 fixed with drilled brackets; clips onto a UPVC frame, no screws
- Motorised from £177.71 remote or app control
No-drill and clip-in fittings suit UPVC windows and renters, but they cap out at the largest window sizes - check the maximum drop before ordering for a tall window.
The same Orla Kiely designs, at several retailers
Orla Kiely roman blinds are sold by more than one UK retailer, so the same designs turn up under each shop's own range. They differ in construction, colourway and fitting, so it pays to compare on more than price:
- Blinds By Post this page from £19.24
- Swift Direct Blinds from £21.10
- Make My Blinds from £21.41
Designs carried by more than one of these retailers include Flower, Jumbo Linear Stem, Jumbo Solid Stem, Linear Stem, Multi Stem, Solid Stem and Spot Flower.
These are the same designs rather than guaranteed identical blinds - one retailer may weave a jacquard where another prints the pattern, and colourways and fittings vary. Check the specific design, colour and fitting at each retailer before buying.
