Unity Polaris at 1Click Blinds is a plain roller collection built on breadth: 50 single-shade colourways from £9.01, a figure that sits among the lowest from-prices we track for a made-to-measure roller. There is no print and no texture story - just a long wall of flat colour on the simplest blind construction there is, with one quiet flexibility tucked into the ordering: the same blind can be had as an electrical version for windows better run without a chain.
Who it suits
A plain roller in a big palette is the multi-window answer. Landlords kitting out a property, offices, hallways, and anyone repeating one colour across three windows will find this collection does what the job asks: cost little, arrive in the right shade, disappear into the room. The breadth is the point - where a small range forces a compromise on colour, a palette of 50 shades usually holds a plausible partner for the wall paint you already own.
The fabric sits at the standard, light-filtering end. It softens glare and gives daytime privacy, but it is not a blackout, so a sleep-critical bedroom should start with a blackout range instead, or plan on curtains over the top. The electrical option deserves a moment's thought too: a tall stairwell window, or one stranded behind a kitchen worktop, is exactly where a pull chain becomes a daily irritation, and here motorisation is a choice made at order time rather than a separate product hunt.
The colours
50 colours available
The naming runs to single words from nature and the pantry, and it maps the palette honestly. Greens and botanics stretch from Apple and Lime to Bamboo, Oak and Acorn; the warm, spiced end takes in Brick, Desert, Pumpkin and Poppy; the cool, quiet shades are Fog, Ice and Champagne, with Lilac and Pond adding colour that stays soft. There is a proper Black for the monochrome crowd, and a shade called simply Deep, which is exactly the sort of name you order a sample to decode. That is the real advice for the whole collection: one-word names tell you the register, not the undertone, and two near-neighbours that look identical on a screen can sit very differently against an actual wall. Samples first, always.

The from-price belongs to the smallest window the collection is made in, and width and drop move the figure from there. The practical upside of an entry point this low is the multi-window job: a landing, a box room and a spare bedroom in one repeated shade stays affordable in a way few made-to-measure collections manage. The table above, at your sizes, does the talking.
How it compares
Within 1Click's catalogue, Atlantex is the other workhorse plain, a shorter palette sold in paired finishes, while the Insta Fit line answers a different question entirely: what to hang when a drill is off the table. Unity Polaris is the one you choose for colour range and entry price. It is a 1Click Blinds exclusive among the retailers we track, which cuts both ways - no second retailer exists to price-check it against, but it is a collection the identikit made-to-measure catalogues do not carry. If darkness is the brief, begin with the blackout guide rather than any standard-weave plain; and if motorisation is the whole point rather than a pleasant extra, the electric blinds guide surveys that field properly.
A note on care
Plain roller cloth is about the easiest blind fabric to live with. Dust it with a soft brush or the vacuum's upholstery head, and lift marks with a barely damp cloth rather than anything wet enough to soak in - stiffened roller fabric keeps its flatness best when it stays dry. Roll the blind fully down every so often so the lower half does not set into a curl around the tube. And keep the chain seated in its wall tensioner: smooth running aside, that is the child-safety requirement that matters in any home with small children.
