The Roma roller from 247 Blinds is a plain, broad-palette everyday roller, made to measure, with 42 colours from £7.15. There is no pattern and no gimmick here - it is a straightforward woven roller fabric in a wide spread of neutrals and accent shades, at a low entry price. It is the sort of blind you choose when you want a clean, unfussy window covering and a colour to match the room, without paying for a designer print.

Who it suits

Almost any room that wants a plain roller: bedrooms, living rooms, studies, landings. The breadth of colour is the point - with greys from Cirrus to Rhino, creams, blues and a few bolder accents, you can match most schemes without compromise. A plain roller recedes rather than draws attention, which makes it a good choice where the walls, furniture or a feature elsewhere are doing the decorative work.

The fabric is a standard woven roller cloth rather than a wipe-clean coating, so for a kitchen or bathroom you would want to confirm the specific colour's suitability or choose a PVC-coated option instead. And as with any roller, there is no slat adjustment - it is up, down, or part-way.

If darkness matters - a bedroom, a nursery - check the fabric's opacity on the product page before ordering; a plain roller range like this usually spans light-filtering through to dimout, and not every colour is fully blackout.

The colours

42 colours available

The palette is genuinely broad and sensibly organised: a strong run of greys (Athens, Cirrus, Fuscous, Rhino, True), a set of creams (Heritage, Oxford, Warm), blues from Aqua Haze to Night Blue, and a handful of richer accents like Aubergine and Thunderbird. The greys and creams are the safe, room-matching choices; the accents are there if you want the blind to add a note of colour rather than disappear. All sit on the same fabric, so the choice is about shade, not quality tier.

Price by your dimensions

Enter your window size. We round up to the next standard size, which matches how the retailer actually quotes you.

At £7.15 to start, Roma is at the budget-friendly end of made-to-measure rollers - a sensible choice when you are buying for several windows at once. Enter your width and drop for the price at your size; it rounds up to the next standard size, which is how 247 Blinds quotes at checkout.

How it compares

Against 247's even cheaper Trapani roller, Roma offers a broader and slightly more considered palette for a little more money - the difference is colour range rather than fabric format. If you want the absolute lowest entry price and the colour you need is in Trapani, that range will do; if you want more shades to choose from, Roma is the better-stocked option.

Against a patterned or designer roller, Roma is the plain, economical alternative - no print, no licence premium, just a clean colour. For a room where the window should be quiet, that is exactly right; where you want the blind to be a feature, a patterned range would serve better.
