The Splash Blackout Amari Seaspray is a grey made-to-measure roller blind sold by Blinds 2go, available in 75 finish and priced from £16.16. The retailer describes it as a blackout roller, meaning the fabric is designed to block light transmission rather than merely reduce it - a useful distinction for anyone who needs genuine darkness rather than a dimmer room. It sits at the accessible end of the made-to-measure market on price, with a single neutral colourway that keeps the choice simple.
Who it suits
Bedrooms are the obvious fit. As dawn light arrives earlier from late March onwards, a blackout roller becomes noticeably more useful than a light-filtering fabric, and the Splash's stated opacity class makes it a straightforward choice for anyone struggling with early mornings. The grey colourway reads as neutral rather than stark, sitting comfortably in most bedroom schemes without drawing attention to itself.
It would also work in a nursery or child's room where daytime naps require full darkness. If you're fitting it in a room where cord safety matters, check Blinds 2go's current operating mechanism options before ordering - cordless or wand-operated fittings are the sensible choice wherever children are present.
The range is less suited to living rooms or home offices where some daylight is welcome with the blind down. A blackout fabric in a lounge tends to make the space feel closed in unless the blind is fully raised, so a light-filtering or dimout fabric would serve better there. Bathrooms would need PVC or similarly moisture-tolerant fabric rather than a standard polyester roller, so this range is not one to consider for wet rooms. In a kitchen, grease and steam make a wipe-clean PVC or aluminium venetian a more practical option than a fabric roller regardless of opacity class.
The colours
75 colours available
The range is available in a single grey finish - the Amari Seaspray colourway. Grey sits in the cooler half of the neutral spectrum and tends to complement white woodwork, pale walls, and off-white ceilings well. The name suggests a muted, blue-adjacent grey rather than a warm mid-grey, which suits contemporary bedroom schemes and pairs reasonably with both white and off-white trims. There are no warm tones or bolder options within this range; if you need a different palette you would need to look at other ranges entirely. The single-finish nature of the range keeps selection simple: what you see is what you get, which is a time-saver when you already know the colour fits your room.
Price by your dimensions

With a from-price of £16.16, the Splash sits at the entry-level end of the blackout roller market. Made-to-measure pricing scales with width and drop, so the price-by-dimensions grid above shows what you can expect to pay for your specific window size. As with most made-to-measure rollers, the jump from a narrow blind to a wide one represents the most significant cost step.
How it compares
Against other blackout rollers in this price bracket, the Splash's main point of difference is the specific grey colourway - neutral, slightly blue-toned, suited to cooler schemes. Ranges with broader colour selections would give more flexibility if your room palette leans warm or if you want a closer match to existing fabrics.
If your primary concern is thermal performance rather than just light blocking, a cellular or honeycomb blind would be a more effective choice; the air-pocket construction of those types insulates in a way a flat roller fabric does not. The Splash is a straightforward blackout roller - it does that job at a low entry price, but it is not marketed as a thermal product.
For very large windows where a heavier fabric would hang better, it is worth checking the maximum width available before ordering. Lighter polyester roller fabrics can move in draughts when the window is open; if your room is frequently ventilated, a heavier fabric option may hang more cleanly in the long run. That said, for most standard bedroom or nursery windows the roller construction is unlikely to present any issues.
Fitting notes
The Splash is a standard roller blind, so fitting follows the usual recess or face-fix approach. Inside the recess gives a neater finish; outside the recess gives better edge coverage and reduces light leak around the sides - relevant for anyone who needs true darkness. A blackout fabric blocks light through the cloth itself, but light can still enter around the edges of any roller blind unless you use side channels or choose a perfect-fit frame. If edge leak is a concern, measure for an outside-recess fit with an overlap onto the surrounding wall, or consider whether a perfect-fit roller (where available) would suit your window type.
Cleaning a polyester roller fabric is straightforward: a vacuum with a soft brush attachment deals with dust, and a damp cloth with mild soap handles most marks. Avoid soaking the fabric or submerging the mechanism.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Splash 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 £8.36
- 247 Blinds from £8.93
- Blinds 2go this page from £16.16
- Blinds By Post from £24.00
- So Easy Blinds from £52.42
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.
