The Trace Deluxe Roman Blinds are So Easy Blinds' made-to-measure Roman range, offered across 12 colour options from a starting price of £114.78. The "Deluxe" designation marks this out from a standard Roman blind - typically indicating a more substantial fabric or finish - and the palette spans neutrals, cool tones, and a handful of warmer accents.

Who it suits

Roman blinds fold into horizontal pleats as they raise, giving a softer, more decorative appearance than a roller. That suits living rooms and bedrooms where you want the window treatment to be part of the room's look rather than simply functional. If your room leans traditional, classic, or Scandi-neutral, a Roman is usually the right shape.

The colour spread - from Oyster and Latte through Pewter, Platinum, and Slate to bolder Azure and Sky - covers most living room and bedroom schemes. White and Apple sit at the light, neutral end; Ebony and Slate at the darker end for rooms where contrast matters.

Roman blinds are not the natural choice for bathrooms or kitchens. Their soft-fold structure and typical fabric composition are less suited to persistent moisture and steam. For those rooms, an aluminium venetian or a wipe-clean PVC roller is a more practical fit.

The colours

12 colours available

The palette divides broadly into three groups. At the neutral end, White, Oyster, and Latte give the kind of warm, undemanding finish that works across most room schemes. The grey family - Pewter, Platinum, Silver, and Slate - covers the full cool-neutral range from light to near-dark, giving plenty of room to match cooler contemporary interiors. Then there are the accent colours: Apple (a soft green), Sky and Azure (two distinct blues), and Rose - enough variety to add character without straying into bold-statement territory. Ebony rounds out the range for rooms that need a strong dark note.

With 12 colours, this is a well-stocked palette for a Roman range. There is no indication in the retailer's listing that any specific colour carries a premium over the base from-price.

Price by your dimensions

At £114.78 as the entry point, this range sits in the mid-to-upper bracket for made-to-measure Roman blinds. That reflects the typical cost structure of Roman blinds - more fabric and a more complex mechanism than a roller - rather than being an outlier for the category. Larger drops and wider widths will move the price upward as with any made-to-measure blind; the grid above shows how the price shifts across common window sizes.

How it compares

Against other Roman blinds, the Trace Deluxe range competes primarily on colour breadth. Twelve finishes is a solid offering; some ranges cap at four or five, which can leave buyers without a close enough match to their room. If you need a very specific or saturated colour, a wider-palette range or a made-to-order fabric service may give more options.

If your priority is blackout performance in a bedroom, confirm the opacity class with So Easy Blinds before ordering - the retailer's listing does not state a specific light-filtering rating, and Roman blinds generally require a blackout lining to achieve genuine darkness. For rooms where some light diffusion is acceptable, a standard lined Roman is typically sufficient.

If thermal performance is the main concern - particularly for large windows that lose heat in winter - a cellular or honeycomb blind will outperform any Roman blind in that regard. The Roman's advantage is the softer look and the broader decorative range that fabric allows.

A note on care

Most Roman blind fabrics respond well to light vacuuming with a brush attachment to remove dust, and spot-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap for marks. Avoid soaking the fabric. If the retailer provides a specific care label or removal instruction for hand-washing, follow that over any general guidance.
