Sonova Studio at Blinds Direct is a printed design collection rather than a plain fabric line: 679 colourways from £10.07, and almost every one of them is its own named artwork. The titles read like a print studio's portfolio - After The Rain, Allotment Mustard, Astrology Ecru, Austen Meadow in several shades - and that is the point of the range: one-off designs made up as roller blinds, rather than one fabric repeated across a shade card.
Who it suits
A printed roller carries the decorative weight a plain one deliberately avoids, so this range suits rooms where the window is meant to be looked at: bedrooms, home offices, kitchens with otherwise quiet walls. Because each design exists in only one or two colourways, choosing from Sonova Studio is closer to picking a print you love than matching a shade to a swatch - the blues, greys and warmer reds lead the palette, but the design does the deciding.
One sizing note matters more here than usual: the listed envelope runs to about 1.5 metres of width but a full 4 metres of drop. That shape suits standard and tall, narrow windows - stairwells and portrait casements included - but rules out wide living-room spans and patio doors, where a printed design would need a different range or a two-blind split. Check your width before falling for a print.
The colours
679 colours available
The grid above is better browsed as a gallery than a shade card. Blues are the largest group, with greys, reds and creams behind them, but within one colour family the designs vary enormously - a botanical, a geometric and a painterly wash can all file under "blue". Print scale is the thing a thumbnail hides most: a motif that reads as texture at grid size can be a bold repeating pattern across a full window. A sample order shows the true scale and the fabric's hand before you commit a whole window to a design.

Printed designs price above plain fabric as a rule, and the from-price here reflects the smallest size of the more accessible designs. The table above prices your own measurements; given the narrow-but-tall envelope, drop is likelier than width to be the number that moves your figure.
How it compares
Against plain roller ranges, Sonova Studio trades palette breadth for design character - you choose it because a particular print earns the window, not to match paint. Against designer-label collections, it sits as a studio line: named artworks without the licensed-brand premium attached to household designer names. Within Blinds Direct's catalogue it is the print-led counterpart to the plain families, and the natural comparison shop is between designs within the range itself rather than across retailers, since these artworks belong to this collection.
A note on care
Printed roller fabric wants gentle treatment: regular dusting or a soft vacuum brush keeps the surface clean, and marks should be spot-treated with a barely damp cloth - printed faces can water-mark if wetted through, and rubbing can burnish a matt print shiny. Keep the blind out of prolonged steam, roll it fully down occasionally so the base does not curl, and the artwork will keep its looks.
