How it's made
How a roller blind works
Tap a number to see what each part does, and what you'll be choosing at your appointment.
1. Roller and brackets
The fabric winds onto a tube held by two small brackets, inside the recess or on the wall above it. Which one suits your window is settled when it's measured.
Your advisor brings samples of every option to your window, so you can see and feel them before you choose.
Why this range
What Solara does well
01
Built as blackout blinds
Cut and finished as blackout blinds for your exact window, rather than trimmed down from a stock size. The mechanism is sized to the drop, so it hangs straight and stays that way.
02
4 colourways to compare
Colour behaves differently in north light, in the evening and against your walls. Pick the ones you like here and your advisor brings those exact swatches to the visit.
03
Measured and fitted by us
One team measures, makes and installs. If something isn't right, there's nobody to pass you on to — we come back and sort it.
Style notes
What Solara is like, and where it works
Solara is a patterned roller blind with a watercolour print of soft blue, sand and charcoal marks over a pale ground. It suits living rooms and conservatories where you want pattern without heaviness, and is available in a blackout fabric where full light control is needed.
A soft off-white ground scattered with a watercolour-style abstract print in powder blue, sand and charcoal, with brush-stroke marks that read almost like feathers or petals. The fabric has a smooth, slightly linen-look matt finish.
