The Orla Kiely Woven Stem Cool Grey range at Order Blinds is a made-to-measure roller blind offered in 2 colourways, starting from £56.84. It is part of Order Blinds' licensed Orla Kiely collection, carrying the designer's recognisable woven stem motif in a cool grey ground. A roller is the simplest blind style - a single flat panel of fabric on a tube - so what you are choosing here is the print and the tone rather than any mechanical feature.

Who it suits

This is a small, focused collection rather than a broad colour run, so it suits a room where the print is the point and a grey-led scheme is already in place. The Woven Stem design is a patterned fabric, which makes it a better fit for living rooms, bedrooms, studies and home offices than for purely functional windows. Because a roller draws straight up and down with no tilt, it works neatly in tight reveals and alongside other window dressings such as curtains.

Both colourways here sit in the grey family, so the range is best thought of as two takes on the same cool grey ground rather than a wide palette to match against. If you need a precise colour match to an existing scheme, the choice is narrow by design - this is a designer print collection, not a colour library.

A patterned roller of this kind works best when the rest of the window is kept simple, letting the design carry the room rather than competing with a busy curtain or a strong wall colour. The cool grey ground is restrained enough to sit in a neutral scheme without dominating it, which is part of why a recognisable print works on a roller: the flat panel shows the motif cleanly and evenly, with no folds or slats to break it up. That makes the Woven Stem design read as intended across the whole blind.

The colours

2 colours available

The two colourways - Linear and Tiny - are both grey, differing in the scale and treatment of the Woven Stem motif rather than in base tone. That keeps the look consistent: whichever you choose, the blind reads as a cool grey patterned roller. As with any printed fabric, the way the design reads at full window size differs from a small swatch on screen, so request a sample before committing - it lets you judge both the grey tone in your room's light and the scale of the pattern against your window. The repeat of a motif looks very different spread across a wide blind than it does on a small piece, so a sample is especially worth having for a print like this.

Price by your dimensions

No price movement in our checks since 23 Jun.

All variants are supplied on the same standard fitting, so price varies with the size of your window rather than the colourway you pick. As a licensed designer collection, it sits above plain own-brand roller fabrics, which is typical for a named print.

How it compares

Against a plain roller, this range trades a lower price for a recognisable designer pattern - you are paying for the licensed Woven Stem print rather than for any extra function. Against a roman blind in a similar fabric, the roller is flatter and simpler and rolls fully out of the way, where a roman would fold into soft pleats and add more texture but cost more to make. If you want tilt or slatted light control, a venetian or vertical blind would be the better tool; this collection is about the print on a straightforward roller.

A note on care

Printed roller fabric is low-maintenance. Keep it dust-free with a soft brush or a vacuum on a low setting, and spot-clean marks with a barely damp cloth, working gently so the print is not disturbed. Avoid soaking the fabric or using harsh cleaners, and let the blind dry fully in the open position before rolling it back up. Treated with reasonable care, a roller of this kind keeps its finish for years.
