The Sevilla range from Blinds 2go is a made-to-measure vertical blind offered in 26 colours, starting from £9.68. Vertical blinds hang as a row of fabric louvres from a headrail: you tilt the slats to angle the light and draw the whole set to one side to clear the window. That makes the range a natural fit for wide openings, and Sevilla's spread of muted neutrals and a handful of brighter shades covers most rooms that suit the format.
Who it suits
Vertical blinds earn their place on wide and tall windows, patio doors, bifolds and conservatories, where a single roller or venetian would be unwieldy. Because the louvres draw to the side rather than stacking at the top, you can part them like curtains to walk through a door, then close and tilt them again for privacy. The tilt gives you graduated control through the day: angle the slats to cut low morning or evening sun without shutting the room into darkness.
Sevilla's colours lean towards calm, liveable tones, so the range suits living rooms, bedrooms and home offices that want light control without a strong colour statement. The brighter members give you an accent option for a feature window. One thing to weigh up: vertical louvres always leave small gaps where they overlap and meet the headrail, so even closed they let a little light through. If full blackout in a bedroom is the priority, a roller or pleated blind in a blackout fabric is the better tool.
The colours
26 colours available
The range is built around quiet neutrals. Greys are the largest family - shades such as Charcoal, Anchor Grey, Touchstone Grey and Slate - followed by soft creams (Cottage Cream, Antique Cream, Vanilla) and a run of blues from the gentle Glacier Blue and Blue Grey through to a deeper Royal Blue and the Tranquility tones. Two clean whites, Brilliant White and Crisp White, give you a bright option, and there are a few livelier shades on top, including Kingfisher, Buttercup, Shiraz and a Pistachio green, for anyone wanting colour rather than a backdrop. Across the standard-opacity fabric the slats filter daylight to a soft, even light rather than blocking it. Colour on a screen rarely matches colour filling a window, so order a sample before committing, particularly for the greys and creams where the difference between neighbouring shades is subtle.

How it compares
Against a roller blind, a Sevilla vertical trades the roller's clean single sheet for adjustable louvres and the ability to clear a doorway, which the roller cannot do. Against a horizontal venetian, the vertical format handles tall and wide windows more gracefully and avoids the dust ledges that horizontal slats collect, though a venetian gives finer tilt control on a smaller window. Within the range itself, all members share the same standard fabric and side-draw operation, so the decision comes down to colour rather than function.
A note on care
Vertical louvres are low-maintenance. Dust them with a soft brush or the upholstery attachment of a vacuum on low suction, running down each slat. Most marks lift with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent, blotted rather than rubbed. A practical advantage of the format is that the louvres are individually replaceable: if one is damaged, you can swap a single slat rather than the whole blind. Keep the chain and the draw cord clear of the louvres when operating to avoid tangling.
