The Sara Miller range at Blinds By Post is a collection of 65 made-to-measure roller blinds carrying illustrated wildlife and botanical print designs, available from £28.28. What distinguishes this range from a generic patterned roller collection is the coherent illustrated style running through all the designs - herons, hummingbirds, swallows, peacocks, cheetahs, and botanical motifs are all rendered in the same detailed, painterly manner rather than assembled from stock graphics.

Who it suits

The range is listed as a roller blind collection; the opacity class is not stated in the retailer's published information, so confirm with Blinds By Post whether specific fabrics in the range are light-filtering, dimout, or blackout before ordering. That distinction matters considerably depending on the room.

For living rooms, a decorative print roller in a light-filtering or dimout weight is the most common use case - you get a dressed window with visual interest while still admitting usable daylight. The illustrative prints here are a stronger style choice than a plain fabric, so they suit rooms where the blind is a deliberate decorative element rather than a functional afterthought.

Bedrooms are a natural destination for any patterned blind that also provides meaningful light reduction, but confirm the opacity level with the retailer if sleep quality depends on it. If the blinds are intended for a child's room, confirm the cord-safety option with Blinds By Post; UK regulations require all domestic blinds to include a cord-safe mechanism, and for children's rooms a cordless or wand-operated version is the standard recommendation.

The range groups loosely into colour families. The blue and teal section is the most populated: Birds & Trellis Duckegg, Birds & Gate Deep Navy, Heron Border Teal, Hummingbird Cornflower Blue, Riverbank Tales Pale Blue, Songbird Teal, Wisteria Pale Blue, and Bamboo Smokey Blue give eight options in the cooler half of the palette. These vary considerably in tone from the deep navy of Birds & Gate through to the softer, watercolour-adjacent Riverbank Tales.

The green section runs from Swallows Forest Green and Little Leaves Green through the more complex Peacock Filigree Sage Green and the lighter Palm Garden Light Stone. Cheetah Midnight is an outlier - darker and more graphic than the general illustrative register of the range. The pink and cream section includes Bamboo Soft Pink, Butterflies & Trellis Peach, Circus Pink, Flamingo Cream, and Small Palm Tree Pink, sitting in the warmer, softer end of the palette.

The three white options - Lemon Cluster White, Underwater White, and Wisteria White - are the range's closest approach to a neutral ground, though each still carries the illustrated print work.

Price by your dimensions

Made to measure from £28.28. Check Blinds By Post for the price at your exact window size.

The from-price of £28.28 sits in the lower-mid bracket for a made-to-measure roller with a licensed or illustrated print design. Price scales with size in the standard made-to-measure way; your actual cost will depend on your window's width and drop. Measure to the recess width if fitting inside the recess, or to your desired face-fit width if fitting outside, and give Blinds By Post the correct figures for an accurate quote.

How it compares

For anyone who wants a patterned roller that carries a specific illustrative design vocabulary, this range has no direct equivalent within the standard roller category - the prints are distinctive enough to make cross-range comparisons difficult. The alternative to a range like this is a plain or lightly textured roller in a coordinating colour, which will be cheaper but will not contribute the same decorative weight.

If your primary requirement is blackout - and the opacity is confirmed - this sits alongside other print-on-blackout ranges rather than plain blackout options, at a moderate from-price premium over the plainest blackout rollers. If your primary requirement is decorative and opacity is secondary, a dimout weight in a print like this may be a better functional fit for a living room or study where you want light in the room during the day.

Fittings for this fabric

The same fabric and blind type is sold in more than one fitting:

  • Standard from £28.28 fixed with drilled brackets
  • No-drill (twist-fit) from £39.08 about +£34 on the standard blind clips onto a UPVC frame, no screws
  • Motorised from £104.26 remote or app control

No-drill and clip-in fittings suit UPVC windows and renters, but they cap out at the largest window sizes - check the maximum drop before ordering for a tall window.
