The Verona Blackout Roller Blind is Blinds 2go's own blackout roller range, offered in 11 colours and available made-to-measure from £47.00. It is a plain-fabric, single-layer roller blind that the retailer describes as blackout - the range spans neutrals, earth tones, and a handful of deeper shades, making it one of the broader-palette blackout rollers at this price point.

Who it suits

Blackout roller blinds are a practical choice for bedrooms first and foremost. If you are a light sleeper, have a room that faces east and catches early morning sun, or need proper darkness for a child who goes to bed before dusk in summer, a blackout fabric is the natural starting point. The Verona fits this primary use well: it is a standard roller mechanism in an opaque fabric, and the colour range means you are not limited to white or cream.

It also suits shift workers using a bedroom at unusual hours, and rooms that double as home cinema or gaming spaces where screen glare is an issue during the day.

The one honest caveat for any blackout roller: the fabric blocks light through its body, but light will still enter around the edges if you fit the blind inside a recess. For near-total darkness, consider fitting it face-fixed to the wall above the window so the blind overlaps the recess on all sides, or combine it with side channels if the window surround allows.

Bathrooms and kitchens are not the target market. Roller blinds can work in those spaces, but you would normally look for a PVC or moisture-rated fabric rather than a standard polyester blackout. The Verona's product listing does not mention moisture resistance, so treat it as a dry-room blind unless Blinds 2go states otherwise.

The colours

11 colours available

The palette covers eleven finishes, which is a genuinely useful spread for a blackout range. The neutral anchors - Porcelain, Ivory, Simply White, and Oatmeal - give you options across the warm-to-cool white spectrum without all landing at the same shade. Warm Stone sits between the pale neutrals and the mid-tones, making it a useful pick for rooms with warm wood floors or honey-toned walls.

The mid-to-dark tones add real range. Pewter and Cool Grey are the cooler grey options; Charcoal pushes darker and suits rooms where you want the blind to recede rather than stand out. Espresso is the darkest finish and reads as near-black in most lighting. Navy is the only true blue in the range and a reasonable bedroom choice for anyone who wants colour without the blind becoming the focal point of the room.

The outlier is Vintage Blush - a pale pink-beige that works in nurseries and children's rooms where a neutral with a warmth bias suits the space better than stark white or grey. At eleven colours, the Verona gives most buyers a realistic match for their room without needing to look elsewhere.

All the finishes appear to share the same price base; none are marked as premium within this range.

Price by your dimensions

Enter your window size. We round up to the next standard size, which matches how the retailer actually quotes you.

Starting under £11, the Verona sits firmly at the entry level of the made-to-measure market. As with all made-to-measure rollers, the price increases with width and drop - a standard small bedroom window will come in considerably above the base price, but the range remains competitive for blackout fabric at most practical sizes. The price grid above shows how cost scales across common dimensions so you can calculate before you order.

How it compares

For a straightforward blackout bedroom blind, the Verona does what it needs to do. The main trade-off compared with a more expensive blackout roller is in the details of the mechanism - cassette housing, chain quality, and how cleanly the fabric hangs at larger drops - none of which the per-range listing specifies, so it is worth checking Blinds 2go's product page for those specifics if they matter to you.

If blackout is not essential - for example in a living room where you want some daytime visibility - a dimout or light-filtering roller fabric would typically be a better fit. A cellular or honeycomb blind would suit anyone whose primary concern is thermal insulation rather than darkness; the sealed cell structure provides meaningfully better heat retention than a single-layer roller, though at a higher price point.

Within the blackout roller category, the Verona's strongest argument is the palette breadth at this price. Eleven colours across neutrals and a few deeper shades is better coverage than many entry-level ranges, which often stop at four or five.

A note on care

Polyester roller fabrics of this type are best maintained with a light vacuum using a brush attachment. Spot-clean marks with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the fabric or pulling it from the tube for washing unless Blinds 2go's care label specifically says it is removable.

Likely the same fabric, at other retailers

Verona roller blinds are sold under the same name by more than one UK retailer, and the price scales identically across window sizes - a strong sign it is the same fabric from the same supplier:

  • 247 Blinds from £27.00
  • Blinds 2go this page from £47.00
  • So Easy Blinds from £57.41

We match these on the shared name and an identical price curve, not an independent inspection, so treat it as likely the same fabric rather than confirmed - and check the specification and colour at each retailer before buying.
