The Soma Blinds UK range at Blinds By Post is a grey roller collection that comes in 3 finishes, with prices starting from £31.00. The range splits into three colour groups - Regal, Graphite, and Steel - each available in a standard chain-operated finish and a motorised version, giving it an unusually coherent structure for a roller range at this price point.

Who it suits

Grey roller blinds are a natural fit for living rooms and home offices where you want a neutral window treatment that doesn't compete with the rest of the room. The Soma range's cool, mid-tone palette suits modern interiors with painted walls, white woodwork, or mixed-metal fixtures. In a home office, a grey roller in a lighter tone like Steel can reduce glare on screens without plunging the room into artificial dusk.

For bedrooms, the right choice depends on the opacity of the fabric. The range listing doesn't specify the light-control class, so if blackout or dimout is a priority, confirm the opacity with Blinds By Post before ordering. A light-filtering grey roller works well for a bedroom where morning light is welcome but privacy still matters; for a room that needs genuine darkness, verify the fabric blocks light rather than merely reducing it.

The motorised variants make this range genuinely worth considering for awkward windows - above a kitchen worktop, over a bath, or any position where reaching a chain is inconvenient. That said, motorised roller blinds require a power source near the window, so factor in cable routing or battery requirements before committing.

The colours

3 colours available

The range organises its six finishes around three distinct grey tones. Regal is the warmest of the three - a mid-grey with a slight blue undertone that reads as cooler than warm stone but less stark than a pure neutral. Graphite sits at the darker end, with a deeper charcoal tone that suits rooms with higher ambient light or where you want the blind to read as a design element rather than a background feature. Steel occupies the middle ground - a clean, silver-leaning grey that works particularly well alongside brushed-metal or chrome hardware.

Each tone comes in a standard and motorised version. The three motorised finishes - Regal Motorised, Graphite Motorised, and Steel Motorised - are tagged premium in the range listing, meaning they sit above the base from-price. If you're comparing on budget, the three non-motorised finishes are where the entry price applies.

Starting from £31.00, the non-motorised finishes sit at the entry-level end of the made-to-measure roller blind market. The motorised variants will be priced higher, though the exact uplift depends on the dimensions you specify. The price grid above shows how cost scales with width and drop for this range.

How it compares

Within the grey roller category, the Soma range is notable for including motorised options alongside standard chain operation - most budget-to-mid grey rollers offer one or the other, not both in the same product family. If motorisation isn't a requirement, other grey roller ranges at Blinds By Post may offer a wider palette or different fabric weights.

If your main concern is light control rather than colour tone, a specialist blackout roller in a neutral grey would be a better starting point - the Soma range doesn't publish opacity figures, which makes it harder to match to a specific light-control need. Equally, if you're outfitting a bathroom or kitchen, confirm whether the fabric is moisture-resistant before ordering, as the range listing doesn't specify a waterproof or wipe-clean finish.

For rooms where style and a motorised upgrade path matter more than opacity specifics, the Soma range at Blinds By Post offers reasonable flexibility across three grey tones at a competitive starting price.

Likely the same fabric, at other retailers

Soma roller 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:

  • Swift Direct Blinds from £13.73
  • Blinds By Post this page from £31.00
  • So Easy Blinds from £68.15

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.
