Why Choose… Wooden Blinds with Tapes?

If you’re looking to achieve a beautiful, traditional look to your home or you’re wanting to give your room a little rustic charm, our wooden blinds will be ideal.

We also offer a range of wooden blinds with decorative cotton tapes that add a further sophisticated style to the blinds.

With a great range of colour combinations available, all carefully chosen to complement the grain of the wood, there’s most certainly a blind to suit your home’s style.

If you’re looking for something subtle yet sophisticated, this beautiful Crisp White & White wooden blind is a lovely choice for a more neutral environment. Then if you need something with a little more contemporary style, this striking Black Satin & White wooden blind (white cotton on black wood) creates an eye-catching and modern design.

We also offer a great range of wood shades, from lighter, warmer grains like the Hickory & Sand wooden blind designed to cosy up your rustic space. Plus we have plenty of richer, darker shades such as our Antique Walnut & Brown wooden blind – delightfully dark, creating a stunning contrast in your room.

Why Choose… Aluminium Vertical Blinds?

Today, we’ve decided to take a break from the bright, colourful blinds that we have to offer and focus on something equally as stylish but that little bit more practical- aluminium vertical blinds.

Usually a fixture in offices, these aluminium blinds will also act as a cool, contemporary addition to your home- their sleek design and slight sheen will certainly give your home a modern, minimalist look. They’d be a great addition to a bathroom or kitchen as they are 100% waterproof and easy to clean- in fact, they’re some of the most robust blinds that we have to offer

They also have a brilliantly streamlined finish that adds to the contemporary style- there aren’t any weights or chains along the bottom edge so they’re completely free hanging, which can be a real bonus if you have any pets that like to tangle themselves up in your blinds!

Available in a range of neutral, grey and silver tones, as well as this beautifully stylish black finish, these blinds would be a perfect addition to a chic city apartment- they’d blend in beautifully with the modern decor -but they can also be used to give your home a stylish breath of fresh air.

Why Choose… Floral Roman Blinds?

Our extensive range of roman blinds are a most popular choice when it comes to choosing how you wish to dress your window. There is an excellent selection of sumptuous fabrics, intricate designs and bold patterns to choose from so we have decided to focus on but a few of what we have to offer.

tuiss-range-rom-flowers

One particular collection that draws a lot of attention is that of our floral designs, featuring bright and colourful blossoms as well as swirling leaves and vines that wind their way across the material.

We have everything from traditional designs like this St Etienne Pewter roman blind that combines a pattern of sweeping leaves with elegant flowers to create a timeless and classic effect, to blinds that boast a striking colour scheme such as the stunning Gabriella Black roman blind with it’s red roses on a black background, creating a glamorous and almost gothic effect.

Then we have designs like the Heeley Poppy roman blind that uses a big, bold floral pattern and fresh, funky colours to create a great statement at your window. A personal favourite also has to be the Malmo Magenta roman blind, I particularily love the way that the hot pink blossoms contrast against the colour scheme, really adding a striking flash of colour and personality to your room.

All our roman blinds come with a choice of standard or blackout lining so you can tailor them to suit your needs, whichever room you are installing them in, meaning that our roman blinds are not only some of the most beautiful blinds we have to offer but also the most versatile.

Why Choose… Roller Blinds?

When it comes to choosing blinds, roller blinds are some of the most popular- they’re easy to install, robust and long lasting- but there is such a myriad of choice available that it can become quite a stressful exercise.

range-roller-plains

From neutral and natural tones to bright, bold blocks of colour there is a multitude of blinds available… And then we also have a large range of beautiful patterns and intricate designs to choose from as well… Is anyone else developing a headache yet?

One of the quickest and easiest ways to narrow down your choice is by thinking about which room you require the blind for- if it’s for a bedroom, you may want to choose a blackout blind to help keep the light out, giving you a great nights sleep.

A window in a bathroom or over a kitchen sink may require a waterproof blind to guarantee that it’s not only easy to wipe dry but it’s also fungal and mould resistant, minimising any damage to the fabric itself.

If you’re after something to give you a little privacy whilst still keeping your room nice and light, why not take a look at our voiles and sheers? These will let the light filter inside gently without hindering your view but provide you with enough privacy that you won’t need to keep your curtains closed 24/7.

The Diffusion range of magic screens work even better- creating an opaque effect at your window during the day so people can’t see in at all- be warned though, this effect is reversed as soon as the lights go on, so make sure you have some secondary window coverings, just in case!

There are so many different types of blinds to choose from that we couldn’t possibly list them all, so why not have a look at our website here and see if you can spot anything that tickles your fancy…?

Why Choose… Venetian Blinds?

Here at tuiss, we often get asked which type of blind is the best. The simple answer to that question is that there isn’t one type of blind that we do that is any better than the others but rather than leave you hanging with your questions, we’ve decided to put together a rough guide for each of the blind types we sell, starting with aluminium venetian blinds.

nb2g-range-impress

These binds are excellent for privacy as you have full control over how far you wish to tilt the slats- this also means that you have better control over how much (or how little) light is let through, helping to keep your rooms shaded to perfection.

We even offer a range of perforated venetian blinds that will let the light filter through gently when they are both open and closed, creating a stunning glowing effect at your window.

tuiss-range-concept-perforated

All our venetian blinds are also rust-free, meaning that they are perfect for use in a kitchen or a bathroom as they are easy to wipe dry or clean, if anything splashes on to them.

We also have a great range of colours available, from neutral and natural tones to bright, bold colours. Whilst most of these are available in 25mm slats, we do also have a range of venetian blinds available in a 50mm slat– ideal for larger windows.

Hats off to the ladies at Royal Ascot!

It’s that time of year again- hat watch at Royal Ascot… And it’s not even ladies day yet!

Today marked the opening of one of the biggest horse racing events and, as exciting as the racing itself can be, we’ve been keeping tabs on some of the more stylish guests and their big, bold headpieces.

Yellow Butterfly

These bright choices are stunning and really catch your eye- we especially like how the race goer on the left has coordinated her outfit beautifully… Although the giant blue butterfly is also quite impressive!

Red Hot

These ladies have really made a statement- go bold or go home! The ladies on the right have made a particular effort, although I’m not sure which one of them has the most outrageous hat…

Finally, these four are some of my personal favourites- I love the quirkiness of the designs and the way that fashion and fun have been so effortlessly mixed.
