Blinds By Post's Stripe vertical blind is a striped polyester vane range offered in 3 colourways, starting from £25.00. It sits in classic neutral territory - Black, Ivory, and White - making it a practical choice for anyone who wants a measured pattern without committing to something bolder.
Who it suits
Vertical blinds are best matched to wide openings: patio doors, conservatory glass walls, or any window where a roller or roman would be awkward to operate across a large span. This range carries that general advantage, and the stripe adds a mild visual rhythm without pulling focus from the room.
The pale finishes - Ivory and White - work well in conservatories and south-facing rooms where the blind will be down for long spells; a light-coloured fabric is less likely to heat the room than a dark one. Black suits a home office or utility space where contrast reads as deliberate rather than gloomy.
Bedrooms are a less natural fit unless you already have effective curtains behind the blind. Vertical vanes rotate to control light but do not seal at the edges, so first-light intrusion is likely. Families with young children should note that standard vertical blinds typically carry bottom weights connected by a chain; check Blinds By Post's specification for the cord-safety arrangement before ordering, and confirm it meets your room's requirements.
The colours
3 colours available
The palette is tight and intentional. Black, Ivory, and White are each distinct enough to use against contrasting woodwork or walls, but they share the same cool, clean register - there are no warm creams or off-whites here. If your room leans warm, Ivory is the closest to a sympathetic match; if you want the vanes to disappear against white walls or a white UPVC frame, White is the natural pick; and if you want the stripe to read as a graphic element, Black delivers that.
The stripe itself runs vertically along each vane, which reinforces the height of the opening rather than working against it - a small but useful detail in rooms with a low ceiling.
Price by your dimensions
Enter your window size. We round up to the next standard size, which matches how the retailer actually quotes you.
At £25.00 entry, this is an accessible range rather than a premium one. Made-to-measure vertical blinds are priced against both width and drop, so a large patio-door opening will cost meaningfully more than a modest conservatory window. The grid above shows how the price scales with your dimensions.
How it compares
Against a plain white or plain ivory vertical, the Stripe adds character without asking much of the room - the pattern is restrained enough to read as texture at a distance rather than a print. Visitors who want something more graphic might look at a more pronounced pattern range; those who want something truly neutral would be better served by a plain polyester vane at a similar price point.
If the priority is light control rather than pattern, a blackout roller with side channels would outperform any vertical in the bedroom. If thermal performance matters for a conservatory, a cellular or pleated blind is a better structural choice. This range earns its place where the combination of a wide opening, easy across-track operation, and a subtle striped finish is exactly what the room needs.
Fitting and operation
Vertical blinds fit most standard top tracks, either inside the recess or face-fixed above the window. The vanes hang from the track and rotate as a group to open or close the light. For patio doors, fitting outside the recess and running the vanes to one side keeps the doorway clear; for conservatory spans, a split-draw arrangement (vanes parting from the centre) is worth confirming as an option with the retailer before ordering.
