Blinds By Post's Splash range is a made-to-measure roller blind collection built around breadth of colour choice. With 50 finishes available and a from-price of £6.59, it sits in the budget-to-mid bracket and spans everything from plain neutrals to bolder accent colours - with a motorised tier running through much of the range.
Who it suits
Splash is primarily a decorating tool rather than a performance blind, so it works best in rooms where colour and style carry more weight than blackout performance. Living rooms, hallways, and home offices are natural fits: you're shading glare or adding privacy without needing total darkness, and the broad palette lets you match or contrast against walls and upholstery.
For bathrooms and kitchens, check the specific fabric datasheet before ordering. Roller fabrics vary in moisture tolerance, and a PVC or waterproof backing is not confirmed for Splash, so verify with the retailer that your chosen finish is bathroom-suitable before ordering. If it is not flagged as such, treat it as a standard fabric.
Bedrooms are a judgement call. If you need reliable blackout for shift work or young children who wake with the light, a dedicated blackout fabric would be a safer choice. If dimout or light-filtering is sufficient - or if you're layering with curtains - Splash may well do the job.
The colours
50 colours available
The palette spans a wide tonal range. Neutrals like Oyster, Taupe, Grey Whisper, and Modesty cover the safe mid-ground; warmer options include Butter, Amalfi, and Portobello; cooler picks include Duck Egg, Glade, Placid, and Mineral. Bolder choices - Lipstick, Heat, Pop, and Mono - cater to accent walls or children's rooms where a flat, punchy colour is the point.
A number of finishes carry a "(premium)" label, meaning they cost more than the base from-price. Of the 50 finishes, 30 are premium-priced - so the entry-level from-price applies to a smaller subset (principally Empire, Midnight, Amalfi, Bullet, Gable, Grey Whisper, Heat, Lipstick, Mambo, Mono, Placid, Portobello, Wave, and Bossa). Budget-conscious buyers should check the price for their chosen finish specifically before comparing across ranges.
The motorised variants mirror the chain-operated versions closely - most colours appear in both forms. That means you can choose the fabric first and decide on operation separately, which is a practical way to plan an upgrade.
Price by your dimensions
Made to measure from £6.59. Check Blinds By Post for the price at your exact window size.
At £6.59 the Splash range has a low from-price, though that entry figure applies only to the standard (non-premium) finishes at smaller sizes. Pricing rises with width and drop in the standard made-to-measure staircase: the widget above reflects the actual price at your chosen dimensions rather than the headline figure. The motorised finishes carry a meaningful premium over their chain-operated equivalents, as expected.
How it compares
Against other roller ranges at a comparable price point, Splash's main selling point is the number of finishes and the availability of motorised operation throughout the collection. Ranges with fewer variants often trade breadth for deeper performance credentials - a dedicated blackout roller with a heavier, coated fabric, for example, or a thermal-backed option suited to energy-conscious buyers. If your priority is light-blocking rather than colour choice, it's worth looking specifically at blackout-designated rollers rather than assuming any finish here will perform equivalently.
The motorised tier is worth noting for anyone considering automation: having the same fabric available in a chain and a motorised version means you're not locked into a separate range if you want to mix operation types across different windows in a room.
Vertical blinds in the same Splash family also appear in Blinds By Post's catalogue (the categories include splash-vertical), so if you're covering a wide patio door or bay alongside a standard window, there may be a coordinating vertical option in the same palette.
Fitting and operation
Splash rollers are standard top-fix or face-fix roller blinds. The chain-operated versions fit the same way as any roller: measure your recess width or face width, order to size, and fix the brackets. The motorised variants will need a power source at the window - factor that in before ordering if you're considering the motorised tier for a window that doesn't currently have a socket nearby.
There is no indication of a Perfect Fit version, so renters planning a no-drill installation should confirm compatibility with the retailer before ordering.
Fittings for this fabric
The same fabric and blind type is sold in more than one fitting:
- Standard from £6.59 fixed with drilled brackets
- No-drill (twist-fit) from £17.39 clips onto a UPVC frame, no screws
- Perfect Fit from £90.66 a clip-in frame for UPVC windows and doors
- Cassette from £23.15 a headrail box for a neater top
- Motorised from £45.54 remote or app control
No-drill and clip-in fittings suit UPVC windows and renters, but they cap out at the largest window sizes - check the maximum drop before ordering for a tall window.
