The Rocha range from So Easy Blinds is a made-to-measure vertical blind offered in 4 colourways, starting from £54.65. Vertical blinds hang as a row of fabric louvres that tilt to control light and draw to one side to clear the window, which suits wide windows, patio doors and conservatory runs. Rocha is a blackout cloth, so each louvre blocks light through the fabric itself - a compact collection aimed at strong shade across a broad opening.
Who it suits
This is a small, focused range for wide openings that also need serious light control: a conservatory that bakes in summer, a broad bedroom window, or a room where screen glare is a problem. The louvres draw aside to clear the view and tilt for privacy, and because the cloth is blackout, tilting them closed cuts the light coming through each slat to a minimum.
One honest point applies to every vertical, blackout fabric included: light leaks a little where the louvres overlap and around the edges, so a vertical never gives the sealed darkness of a close-fitted blackout roller. For a wide room you want strongly darkened, Rocha does the job; for a small window needing near-total black, a roller would close the gaps better. The trade you make for that small leakage is the ability to span a width a single roller could not, while keeping tilt control so the room can move from open daylight to deep shade as the sun comes round.
The colours
4 colours available
The Rocha palette is deliberately tight - a cream (Brulee), a green (Fern) and a blue (Sky), with Wolf rounding out the set - so it covers a warm neutral alongside two cooler, more characterful colour choices in one short collection. That makes it a range to consider when you want a definite colour rather than a wide field of neutrals to sift through. Colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ considerably, so request a sample before committing to a full-sized blind, especially for the green and blue where the in-room tone matters most.

The range is offered with a standard fitting from £54.65. Vertical blinds are among the more economical ways to cover a large opening with a made-to-measure blind, since one headrail spans a width that would otherwise need several separate blinds, so the cost stays reasonable on the wide windows and patio doors these blinds are built for.
How it compares
Against a light-filtering vertical, Rocha's blackout cloth gives much stronger light reduction with the louvres tilted closed, which is the reason to choose it. Against a blackout roller, the vertical wins on width and on tilt control - you can angle the louvres for privacy without shutting out all the light - while the roller seals a window more completely for true darkness. Against a venetian, the fabric louvres read warmer and softer than metal slats, and the blackout cloth screens far more light than a slatted venetian, whose gaps always admit some daylight. For a wide, sunny room that needs firm shade in a defined colour across a broad span, Rocha covers the brief without resorting to several separate blinds.
A note on care
Fabric louvres need little upkeep. Dust them with a soft brush or a vacuum on a low setting, and lift surface marks with a lightly dampened cloth rather than soaking the cloth. Because each louvre hangs separately, a single damaged slat can be replaced on its own without redoing the whole blind, which is useful on a wide patio door where one louvre tends to take the most handling.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Rocha vertical 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 By Post from £12.65
- Blinds Direct from £44.21
- So Easy Blinds this page from £54.65
- Vertical Blinds Direct from £73.19
- Wilsons Blinds from £73.19
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.
