So Easy Blinds' Prime Bella is a made-to-measure blackout roller blind sold in 24 colourways, starting from £33.14. The range sits firmly in blackout territory - the retailer describes every finish as blackout - covering neutrals, pastels, and a handful of bolder tones in one consistent fabric specification.

Who it suits

The obvious home for a blackout roller is a bedroom. If early-morning light is a problem - and in the UK from late March through September it very much is - the Prime Bella's claimed blackout performance puts it in the right category. The caveat, worth repeating for any blackout fabric, is that the fabric itself blocks the light but gaps around the edges don't. Fitting the blind as an outside-recess mount with the bracket width generously overlapping the wall will get you closer to genuine darkness than a tight inside-recess fit; Perfect Fit frames or side channels push further still.

The range is also a reasonable kitchen or living-room choice when you want the option of blacking a room out - late-morning lie-ins, daytime naps, or projector screens - without going to the additional cost of a cassette or purpose-built blackout system. A living room or kitchen benefits from the broad palette here, which stretches beyond the standard white-grey-cream trio.

For children's rooms, the blackout performance is a genuine asset - young children and shift workers are typically the most sensitive to morning light creeping in. If you're fitting in a child's room, choose a cordless or wand-operated version if that option is available, in line with UK cord-safety recommendations for domestic settings.

Where it won't suit: wet rooms. There is no PVC version in this range, so bathrooms and heavily steamed kitchens should use a wipe-clean PVC roller or an aluminium venetian rather than a fabric blind of this type.

The colours

24 colours available

The 24 finishes span a wide tonal range. The bulk are neutrals: Snow, Frost, Paper, Dove, Oyster, and Vellum occupy the white and off-white end; Beige, Canvas, Hessian, and Taupe work the warm mid-ground; Gable, Rock, Mineral, Bullet, and Mono run from mid-grey through to near-black. Grey Whisper is a notably soft option for rooms that need something understated.

The bolder options are genuinely distinct. Indigo is a deep blue-purple that works as a feature blind in a neutral room. Duck Egg and Glade provide the only blue-green notes. Havana and Butter introduce warm amber and yellow tones. Placid and Modesty sit in the softer pastel register - useful for a children's room where the blackout function matters but the look still needs to feel considered.

No finishes in this range are marked at a premium price; the palette is consistently priced across all colours.

The from-price puts Prime Bella in the accessible mid-range for a made-to-measure blackout roller. As with any made-to-measure blind, the price rises with width and drop - the widget above shows what the range costs at your specific dimensions, which is a more useful guide than the headline figure.

How it compares

Within the made-to-measure blackout roller category, the main choice is between breadth of fabric range and depth of colour within a type. The Prime Bella is a broad-palette, single-fabric range: one blackout specification, 24 colourways. That suits buyers who have settled on blackout and are choosing a colour to fit their room. If your priority is thermal performance - insulation against heat loss or summer heat gain - a cellular or honeycomb blind will outperform any standard polyester roller fabric, including this one, by a meaningful margin.

If you need the blind for a non-standard window, a roof window, or a conservatory, the Prime Bella is a standard flat-roller design and won't address those requirements without additional specialist fittings. For conventional vertical windows, it covers most realistic briefs.
