The Verona range from Make My Blinds is a made-to-measure roller blind offered in 5 colourways, starting from £20.86. A roller is the simplest blind style there is - a single flat panel of fabric on a tube that pulls down for cover and rolls up out of the way - and Verona keeps to that brief with a small, considered palette rather than a sprawling one.
Who it suits
A roller suits almost any room where you want straightforward light control without the upkeep of slats or cords to tilt. There is no tilt function on a roller: the fabric either covers the window or it does not, so the choice is about how much light the cloth lets through rather than how you angle it. Verona's fabrics are light-filtering, which means they soften and diffuse incoming daylight rather than blocking it - good for a living room, a study or a kitchen where you want privacy and a calmer light during the day, but not the route to a fully darkened bedroom.
The flat panel also makes a roller easy to live with on smaller and standard windows. With only 5 colourways the range is best thought of as a tight set of useful tones rather than a wide colour library, so it works well when you already know roughly the shade you want and would rather choose from a focused selection.
The colours
5 colours available
The palette leans neutral, with two soft cream tones (Shell and Taupe) that sit quietly against most decor, alongside three clearer colours: Amethyst in the purple family, Apple, and Danube in the blue family. That spread covers the two most common briefs from one short range - a pale, unobtrusive backdrop on the cream end, or a definite touch of colour from the amethyst, apple or blue. Because the fabrics filter rather than block light, the colour you see also shifts a little with the daylight passing through, so a shade can read softer when the blind is down and lit from behind. Colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ considerably, so it is worth requesting a sample before committing to a full-sized blind.
Price by your dimensions

The range sits at an accessible entry point, consistent with roller blinds more broadly - among the more affordable made-to-measure styles. All five colourways share the same starting price, so the choice between them is purely about the look you want rather than the budget.
How it compares
Against a venetian or a wooden blind, a roller like Verona trades tilt control for simplicity: there are no slats to angle, dust or wipe individually, just one clean panel of fabric. Against a roman blind, it loses the soft folded look but gains a flatter, more compact profile and a lower entry price. And against a blackout roller, Verona's light-filtering cloth will keep a room private and shaded but will not darken it fully, so for a bedroom where total darkness matters a blackout fabric is the better tool. For everyday light softening and daytime privacy in a neutral or lightly coloured scheme, the range covers the requirement plainly.
A note on care
A roller blind is among the easiest styles to keep clean. Most marks lift with a light wipe using a barely damp cloth, working along the fabric rather than scrubbing at one spot, and the panel can be left fully down to reach the whole surface. Avoid soaking the cloth or using harsh cleaners, as light-filtering fabrics can mark or distort if over-wetted, and let the blind dry fully rolled down before raising it again to prevent the damp fabric from sticking as it winds onto the tube.
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 £5.00
- Blinds 2go from £11.12
- Make My Blinds this page from £20.86
- 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.
