The Splash is a light-filtering roller blind sold by So Easy Blinds, offered across 96 colour options and priced from £52.42. It sits at the accessible end of the market for a made-to-measure roller, and the light-filtering construction - which softens and diffuses incoming light rather than blocking it - makes it most useful in rooms where you want daytime privacy without a dark interior.
Who it suits
Living rooms and home offices are the natural fit for a light-filtering roller. The fabric lets daylight through while obscuring detail from outside, which means the room stays bright during the day with the blind fully down. For a home working setup, that can reduce glare on screens without eliminating ambient light.
Bedrooms are a less obvious application. Light-filtering fabric does not block enough light for reliable blackout and is not well suited to anyone who needs genuine darkness to sleep. If the bedroom requirement is purely decorative, with curtains handling the blackout, the Splash could complement them, but it should not be the sole light-control solution in a room where darkness matters.
Kitchens and bathrooms present a practical question: confirm with So Easy Blinds whether the Splash fabric is water-resistant or wipe-clean before fitting it near a sink or hob. A standard polyester roller fabric can typically be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth for light marks, but a bathroom with a shower nearby would need a more explicitly moisture-tolerant specification - a PVC-backed roller fabric would be a safer choice in that context.
The colours
96 colours available
The 48-colour palette covers the main decorating bases without strong bias towards any particular tone. Neutrals run from Beige and Vellum through Dove, Oyster, and Hessian to deeper options like Noir and Bullet. Grey shades include Mineral, Grey Whisper, and Arcadia. There are warmer tones - Havana, Heat, Cashew, Butter - and cooler options including Duck Egg, Glade, and Vine. Bolder choices like Lipstick, Ruby, Mambo, and Tropez are there for rooms that need them. A further 8 finishes exist beyond the sample shown.
No finishes carry a premium mark-up; the from-price applies across the whole palette. That makes colour selection straightforward - you are not steering around more expensive tiers within the range.

The Splash has a low from-price of £52.42 for a made-to-measure roller blind, which makes it one of the more accessible options in So Easy Blinds' roller collection. Price scales with window width and drop as standard.
How it compares
The main decision here is opacity class. Light-filtering works well in living areas where some daylight through the fabric is welcome; for anyone who needs the blind to do heavy-lifting on room darkening, the same palette in a dimout or blackout fabric would be the right step up. It is worth noting that the Splash and Bella (blackout) ranges from the same retailer share much of their colour vocabulary - if you need both light-filtering and blackout in the same house, pairing them is worth considering.
For style variety, the 48-colour choice gives more flexibility than a basic range with five or six shades. If the room scheme demands a specific tone, the Splash's naming convention - Glade, Vine, Mirage, Tropez - covers a broader tonal range than most functional-roller palettes. For rooms needing a pattern or texture rather than a plain colour, a printed or textured roller range would offer more visual interest than the Splash's solid-colour lineup. And for rooms where roller care is relevant, most polyester roller fabrics can be vacuumed with a brush attachment and spot-cleaned; confirm the retailer's care guidance for this specific fabric.
