The Splash Light Filtering Panel Blind from So Easy Blinds is a made-to-measure panel blind in a light-filtering fabric, available across 48 finishes and starting from £96.87. Panel blinds sit in a distinct category: wide, flat fabric panels on a sliding track rather than a rolled or folded mechanism, and the Splash range covers that format with a colour palette broad enough to suit most interior schemes.
Who it suits
Panel blinds are designed for wide openings - patio doors, bi-fold door frames, conservatory dividers, or any span where a standard roller or Roman blind would be impractical. If your window is a standard bedroom or living-room width, a different blind type will likely serve better; the panel format is genuinely specialist.
Where the Splash range fits well is in living areas and open-plan spaces where the priority is softening glare and giving daytime privacy without cutting the room off from the light. Light-filtering fabric lets natural light through while reducing direct glare and obscuring detail through the fabric, which suits home offices, dining areas facing a neighbour's wall, or conservatories used year-round. Because it is not blackout, the Splash is not the right choice for a bedroom where darkness is the goal - particularly in spring and summer when UK mornings lighten early. For those situations, a blackout panel or blackout roller would be the appropriate starting point.
The fabric is unsuitable for bathrooms or kitchens where moisture resistance and wipe-clean surfaces matter. Those rooms are better served by PVC or aluminium-slatted options.
The colours
48 colours available
The Splash range runs to 48 finishes in total, with 40 named in the published list and a further 8 not shown here. The palette divides into a strong group of neutrals - Beige, Butter, Oyster, Dove, Vellum, Cashew, Hessian, Taupe - alongside cooler tones like Grey Whisper, Mineral, Duck Egg, and Placid. Bolder options include Lipstick, Ruby, Mambo, Pop, Sloe, and Havana, giving the range genuine breadth beyond the usual cream-and-grey core.
Names like Arcadia, Amalfi, Tropez, and Portobello lean into an aspirational Mediterranean register, though what matters practically is whether the colour reads as the warm, cool, or neutral tone your room needs rather than what the name suggests. The range-level categories confirm coverage across white, cream, beige, grey, green, blue, pink, purple, red, and black tones, so there is a workable option for most interior palettes. If you are looking for a specific shade, the full listing includes 8 finishes beyond those shown above - worth checking directly with So Easy Blinds if none of the published names match.
Price by your dimensions
Made to measure from £96.87. Check So Easy Blinds for the price at your exact window size.
The Splash range starts from £96.87, which is towards the higher end of what you would expect for a single panel blind - panel blinds typically cost more than a comparable roller because of the track system and wider fabric panels involved. Pricing is made-to-measure: as your width or drop increases, the price will step up accordingly.
How it compares
Against other panel blinds in a light-filtering fabric, the Splash range's main advantage is palette depth. A range of 48 finishes is considerably wider than most panel blind ranges, which typically run to a dozen colours at most. That breadth makes it more likely you find a close match to an existing colour scheme rather than compromising on tone.
For anyone weighing a panel blind against a vertical blind for the same wide opening, the key difference is operation style: vertical blinds rotate individual vanes for precise angle control and are easier to source with blackout or moisture-resistant fabrics; panel blinds give a cleaner, less segmented look when open or partially closed. If you primarily need the wide-opening function rather than the flat-panel aesthetic, a vertical blind in the same light-filtering class would be worth comparing on price.
If the room requirement shifts towards thermal performance - a conservatory that overheats in summer, for instance - a pleated or honeycomb blind in a similar panel format would offer meaningfully better insulation than a single layer of light-filtering fabric.
