More of a tradition than a trend, chevron patterns have been adorning everything from ceramics to clothing for centuries. Now they’re back with a bang and you can see them at every turn. Whether on the catwalks or in the home, chevron patterns are all the rage right now.

This geometric zigzag design is the perfect blend of personality and simple style – but be careful not to use too much of it or it could leave you feeling more than a little queasy.

The best way to incorporate chevrons into your design is to pair them with bold colours and rich tones. That way, they don’t stand out too far and end up overpowering everything else in the room.

Using them as accents in a brave design scheme works a treat; a little cushion here, a rug there. The Totem Sitka roller blind is a great way to do just that. Putting it in with warm, Moroccan inspired colours such as terracotta and burnt orange will give your home a real cutting edge.

Always on the lookout for trends, this season we’ve spotted a few flamboyant feathers winging their way into people’s homes. Proud peacocks are the inspiration, with rich tones and distinctive plumage adorning everything from cushions to couches.

Ever the exhibitionists, peacocks love to put on a display and with a mix of emeralds, teals and other jewel tones you can ensure your home is the star of the show.

As ever, at Tuiss we have a blind to match – a couple in fact! Our exclusive collaboration with designer Sabine Reinhart has produced peacocks galore on her elaborate and intriguing Kimaya and Royal Meadow designs. They even have a choice of lining so you can make your home practical as well as pretty!

Colours are all important when coming up with a theme for your home. The seasons play a part too. Who wants cool pastel blues during those cold winter months? So we’ve come up with a new mood board that’s much more suited to the time of year.

Soft berry shades of amethyst and crimson, violet and orchid will give your home a warm and comforting feel and harmonise beautifully with one another.

Whether you want to go all out or just add a few simple accents to your design scheme, these colours will create a soothing atmosphere that lets you snuggle up away from the winter weather outside.
