The Sara Miller Roman blind range at Blinds By Post is a made-to-measure collection of 67 patterned fabric designs starting from £20.57, built around the illustrative print style associated with Sara Miller's textile work - birds, botanicals, insects, and wildlife rendered in detailed, layered compositions. The range covers a wide spectrum of colourways and subject matter, making it one of the more varied print-led Roman blind collections in this part of the market.

Who it suits

Roman blinds fold into horizontal pleats when raised and hang as a flat panel when down - the format puts the fabric on full display, so the choice of fabric matters more here than it would with a roller. The Sara Miller range suits rooms where the window treatment is intended to anchor or complement a decorating scheme with colour and pattern. Living rooms and bedrooms are the natural home for this kind of print.

The opacity class of these fabrics is not published, so you should confirm with Blinds By Post before ordering. Standard Roman blind linings reduce light without blocking it entirely; if you are fitting this in a bedroom and need genuine blackout, check whether a blackout lining option is available for your chosen fabric.

The illustrated style and the colour choices in the range - many of which are quite vivid - mean the Sara Miller Romans work best in rooms that already have some pattern or warmth, rather than very minimal or industrial spaces where the prints may read as incongruous.

The 38 designs cover a broad colour range, with teal, navy, and aqua tones accounting for a large part of the collection: Heron Teal, Heron Border Teal, Dragonfly Navy, Wisteria Navy, Underwater Aqua, Toucans Aqua, Small Palm Tree Navy, and several others. Beyond the blue-green family there are green naturals (Palm Garden Soft Olive, Etched Leaves Green, Linear Bamboo Dark Green, Swallows Forest Green), warm neutrals and stones (Ornamental Peacock Stone, Palm Garden Light Stone), and a smaller set of pinks, purples, creams, and whites.

Two designs carry a premium over the standard from-price: Peacock Filigree Petrol and Cheetah Midnight. Both involve denser or more complex print work, which is the typical reason for premium pricing within a Roman blind fabric range.

Price by your dimensions

Made to measure from £20.57. Check Blinds By Post for the price at your exact window size.

The from-price of £20.57 places the Sara Miller range at the accessible end of licensed-print Roman blinds. Patterned Roman fabrics are generally priced above plain ones, so this from-price is competitive for a named-designer collection. The two premium variants will cost more; the widget reflects the pricing for your specific dimensions and chosen fabric.

How it compares

Against other print-led Roman blind collections, the Sara Miller range stands out for the diversity of its design themes - there is more variety within the range than in collections that take a single decorating direction. The trade-off is that the prints are detailed and distinctive, which narrows the rooms they sit easily in compared to a plainer or more abstract fabric.

If you want a Roman blind for pattern but the illustrative style does not suit your interior, a geometric or textured weave Roman will give pattern interest with less visual weight. If light control is your primary reason for the blind - rather than decoration - a roller with a confirmed opacity rating will give you more reliable results than a Roman with an unverified lining.

A note on care

Patterned Roman blind fabrics should be vacuumed with a brush attachment to remove dust. Spot-clean carefully with a damp cloth for marks; avoid soaking. The complexity of the printed designs means that any rough cleaning risks disturbing the surface finish of the fabric. Follow the care instructions supplied by Blinds By Post for your specific fabric.

Fittings for this fabric

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

  • Standard and No-drill (twist-fit) from £20.57 fixed with drilled brackets; clips onto a UPVC frame, no screws
  • Motorised from £183.11 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.
