The Reno range from Blinds 2go is a made-to-measure roman blind offered in 6 colourways, starting from £23.36. It is a compact collection of soft, light-filtering shades that fold up into neat horizontal pleats, giving a softer, more upholstered look than a flat roller while keeping the colour palette gentle and easy to place.
Who it suits
Roman blinds suit living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms where a softer, more tailored finish is wanted. When raised, the fabric gathers into stacked pleats that sit as a soft pelmet across the top of the window; when lowered, it hangs as a single smooth panel. The Reno shades lean towards calm, muted tones, so the range fits rooms styled around natural textures and quiet colour rather than bold statement windows.
Because every Reno fabric is a standard, light-filtering weave, this range is about diffusing daylight and adding privacy rather than blocking light out. In a bedroom where you need full darkness, a roman in this cloth will soften and reduce the light but not exclude it, so a blackout-lined option or a separate blackout blind would serve better there. Roman blinds are also less suited to steamy kitchens and bathrooms, where the folded fabric can hold moisture - a wipe-clean roller or a venetian copes better in those rooms.
The colours
6 colours available
The palette is small but varied. Two of the shades sit in the cream family - Seafoam Natural and Duckegg Sand - giving the soft, neutral base that suits most rooms. Alongside them sit a single pink (Blush), a green (Teal Green) and a further accent (Twister), so the range offers a gentle lift of colour without straying into bright or saturated tones. With only a handful of colourways, the choice here is about settling on one of a few considered shades rather than matching an exact hue from a wide spread. Colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ considerably, especially across soft naturals like these, so request a sample before committing to a full-sized blind.

The price shown is the starting point for the smallest size in a single fitting; the figure rises with the width and drop of your window. Roman blinds generally sit a little above plain rollers because of the extra fabric and the cording that creates the folds, but this range remains an accessible way into the soft-pleat look. As all five shades share the same standard cloth, the price is set by your measurements rather than by the colour you pick, so there is no premium attached to one shade over another.
How it compares
Against a roller blind, a Reno roman trades the roller's flat simplicity and lower price for a softer, more decorative finish - the folded pleats read as a furnishing rather than a functional panel. Against a wood or aluminium venetian, the roman gives no tilt control and is less at home in damp rooms, but it brings warmth and texture that hard slats cannot. Within its own type, the Reno collection keeps things simple: a short run of muted, light-filtering shades rather than a broad colour library or a mix of opacities.
A note on care
Roman blind fabric needs gentler handling than a wipe-clean blind. Dust the folds regularly with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery attachment to stop dirt settling in the pleats. Spot-clean marks with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent rather than soaking the fabric, and let it dry fully before raising the blind. Keep the blind clear of persistent steam and condensation to protect both the cloth and the cording that forms the folds.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Reno 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:
- Blinds Direct from £21.79
- Wilsons Blinds from £21.88
- Blinds 2go this page from £23.36
- English Blinds from £30.76
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.
