The Voyage Roman Blind is a made-to-measure Roman blind sold by 247 Blinds, available in 3 colourways from £16.79. It is a small, focused range rather than a broad collection - if you know the colour you need, the choice is simple.

Who it suits

Roman blinds fold into horizontal pleats as they raise, which gives them a softer, more decorative look than a roller. That character suits living rooms and dining rooms better than it suits kitchens or bathrooms - the fabric folds can trap grease and are not as straightforward to wipe clean as a PVC roller or an aluminium venetian.

The range also fits bedrooms where a softer window treatment is preferred over a clinical roller, provided the fabric offers enough opacity for your needs. The opacity class is not stated for the Voyage fabric, so if bedroom darkness is critical - for a child's room or a shift worker's sleep - confirm the light-control level with 247 Blinds before ordering. Roman blinds can be ordered with a separate blackout lining in some ranges, so it is worth asking whether that option is available here if opacity is a deciding factor.

Because Roman blinds stack at the top when raised, they consume some of the window height. In rooms with a low ceiling or a window close to the top of the wall, that stack can feel intrusive. In a standard-height room it is not an issue.

The colours

3 colours available

The Voyage range covers three distinct positions on the palette. Parchment is the neutral option - a warm off-white that reads as bone or cream depending on the light, and works alongside almost any wall colour. Fern moves into greens, sitting in the earthy, slightly muted territory that suits rooms with natural wood furniture or a country-style fit-out. Atlantic Blue is the boldest choice: a mid-to-deep blue that works as a feature rather than a background note.

The three colours are different enough that they address different rooms and tastes rather than repeating a theme in small steps. None are described as premium-priced variants, which suggests all three share the same from-price.

With a from-price of £16.79, the Voyage sits at the budget-friendly end of made-to-measure Romans. As the interactive grid shows, price rises with width and drop - smaller recess windows will stay closest to the from-price, while larger windows will land higher in the range.

How it compares

Against other Roman blinds, the Voyage is a value-led option. Competing Romans at higher price points often offer thicker or lined fabrics, which hang with a heavier drape and can include a thermal or blackout lining for better light control. If those properties matter for your window, it is worth looking at lined Roman options before committing.

Compared to a roller blind in a similar colour, a Roman will generally cost more and take longer to raise fully, but produces a noticeably softer effect when down. If the look of a Roman is what you want, the Voyage delivers it at a low from-price. If you need reliable blackout and the softer aesthetic is a secondary concern, a purpose-built blackout roller is likely the more practical choice.

A note on care

Most made-to-measure Roman fabrics are polyester-based and can be vacuumed with a brush attachment to remove dust. Spot-clean marks with a damp cloth and a mild soap rather than soaking the blind. Check the care label that ships with the blind for specific guidance - some Roman fabrics are removable for hand-washing, others are not.

Fittings for this fabric

The same fabric and blind type is sold in more than one fitting:

  • Standard from £16.79 fixed with drilled brackets
  • No-drill (twist-fit) from £34.01 about +£17 on the standard blind clips onto a UPVC frame, no screws

No-drill and clip-in fittings suit UPVC windows and renters, but they cap out at the largest window sizes - check the maximum drop before ordering for a tall window.
