The Stitchwork roman from Make My Blinds is a textured plain roman in 18 muted colours, from £20.86. The name points to the fabric: a woven texture that gives the blind a tactile, slightly crafted surface, in a palette of soft, contemporary neutrals and earthy tones. It is a plain roman that earns interest through texture rather than pattern - a calm, considered choice for a modern room.

Who it suits

Living rooms and bedrooms that want a soft, dressed window without a print. The woven texture catches light and adds depth that a flat fabric lacks, which suits a layered, contemporary or natural-toned room - the kind of space where the window should feel quality and quiet rather than decorative. The muted palette coordinates easily, letting cushions, art or wallpaper carry any pattern.

As a furnishing-fabric roman it is a dry-room range, and it stacks at the top when raised, covering a little glass - fine on a taller window, less so on a short one.

The understated palette is the range's character: these are tones designed to recede and warm a room rather than stand out, which makes Stitchwork a safe choice where you want softness at the window and nothing louder.

The colours

18 colours available

The eleven colours are all muted and contemporary: soft neutrals (Ivory, Sand, Dove, Mist, Praline), cooler greys and darks (Mercury, Onyx), and a few gentle accents (Blush, Ocean, Olive, Rust). There is no bright or bold option - the whole palette sits in the calm, earthy register that suits the textured finish. Ivory, Sand and Dove are the lightest, most flexible choices; Onyx and Mercury anchor a room; Rust and Olive add warmth without shouting.

How it compares

Against a patterned or designer roman, Stitchwork is the plain-but-textured alternative: it brings warmth and tactility to the window without a print, which suits a room where the pattern comes from elsewhere or where calm is the aim.

Against a flat plain roman (such as Cavendish), Stitchwork's woven texture adds a little more depth and interest for a similar kind of price - the choice between them is whether you want a smooth or a textured surface. Against a plain roller, the roman gives the softer drape at a higher price and more visible stack when raised.
