The Peyton range from Make My Blinds is a made-to-measure roman blind offered in 3 colourways, starting from £20.86. A roman blind raises into soft horizontal folds of fabric rather than rolling onto a tube or tilting on slats, and this small range keeps to three quiet, light shades that suit that softer, more upholstered style.
Who it suits
Roman blinds suit living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms, where the softness of gathered fabric is part of the look. When lowered the blind hangs as a flat panel; when raised it stacks into neat pleats at the top of the window, so it reads more like a piece of soft furnishing than a purely functional cover. The pale, restful shades in this range lean towards calm spaces - a sitting room or a main bedroom - rather than a high-traffic utility area.
This is a light-filtering range, so it softens and diffuses daylight rather than blocking it - good for rooms where you want privacy and a gentler light rather than full darkness. If your priority is a fully dark bedroom, a roman in this light-filtering cloth is not the right tool, and a blackout roller or a lined blackout blind would serve that better. Roman blinds are also less suited to steamy kitchens and bathrooms, where folded fabric can hold moisture, so the range is best kept to drier living spaces such as a sitting room, dining room or bedroom.
The colours
3 colours available
The range is deliberately compact, covering three soft neutrals: a cool, pale Ice, a warm Ivory and a muted, green-toned Sage. Between them they give a cool light, a warm light and a gentle colour accent, so the range can sit quietly against a neutral scheme or bring a soft touch of green with the Sage. All three are restful, low-contrast shades rather than bold colours, which keeps the focus on the soft folds of the blind itself rather than on the colour. Because the choice is between three close neutrals rather than dozens of shades, it is worth thinking about whether you want the blind to read cool, warm or softly green against the wall behind it. Colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ, so request a sample before committing to a full-sized blind, particularly with pale neutrals where small differences in tone are easy to see at full size and in changing daylight.

The range sits at a mid entry point for roman blinds, reflecting the lined, folding construction, which is more involved than a flat roller panel. Price across the three shades is consistent, so the choice is about the colour you want rather than the budget.
How it compares
Against a roller blind, a roman is softer and more decorative: it gathers into fabric folds rather than winding flat onto a tube, which gives a more upholstered look at the cost of a little more bulk at the top of the window when raised. Against a venetian, the roman offers no tilt control - you raise it for light and lower it for privacy - but it brings warmth and texture a slatted blind cannot. Within roman blinds, the Peyton shades are chosen for a quiet, neutral effect rather than a bold or patterned statement.
A note on care
Roman blinds need gentle handling. Dust them regularly with a soft brush or a vacuum on a low setting with an upholstery attachment, working with the weave. Avoid wetting the fabric, which can mark light-coloured cloth; spot-treat small marks carefully and test any cleaning on a hidden part of the blind first, taking particular care with the pale shades. Raise and lower the blind evenly so the folds keep their shape over time.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Peyton roman 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:
- Swift Direct Blinds from £18.71
- Make My Blinds this page from £20.86
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.
