Each year the people at Pantone select their colour of the year. For 2010 we have the pleasure of turquoise and in their words:

Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of well being.

Owing to its strength and depth turquoise is often used as an accent colour rather than the base colour of a room. It works very well with white injecting a zap of brightness. With other bright colours it’s positively tropical, take a look at Botanic Jardin to see what I mean. With earthy moody colours such as browns and greens then there’s drama and warmth.

At tuiss we have lots of blinds in this beautiful colour, some are deep and rich while others are soft and light. We have even more than choices than those shown here in both roller blinds and roman blinds.

Interior ideas with ……. turquoise (and blinds to match)!

tuiss Embrace Duck Egg roller blind would work so well here with its soft colour and elegant lines, of course it's blackout too.

Such a luxurious room calls for tuiss' Real Silk Viridian roman blind, it would harmonise effortlessly with such fabulousness.

tuiss Shaolin Karma would look a treat echoing the elegance of the turquoise accents and the clean brightness of the walls.
