by tuiss :: New blackout roller blinds

Our collection of blackout roller blinds has grown a little with the addition of some great new shades. We’ve got brand new neutrals, try Poplin and Vanilla Ice, but we also have some new spring colours, buttercup and citronella and then some moodier colours such as toffee and black blackout blinds.

Blackout blinds are clearly going to be very useful in the bedroom for blocking out the morning sun, or even the afternoon sun if you’re a shift worker. These blinds are also a great option for a bathroom as they are 100% polyester so suitable for steamy environments plus they will keep it very private, no silhouettes here!

All tuiss roller blinds are finished with an aluminium chain which is a stylish finishing touch. We have a fantastic range of roller blinds so please do visit tuiss to view the entire collection. (Remember we have a next day free sample service too!)

Two of our brightest and freshest roller blinds are the Botanic Fresca with its white backdrop and the Botanic Jardin showcasing a green background, each shows off its wares in hot pink, chartreuse green and aqua.

Here’s what we have to say:

Botanic Fresca :: The upbeat brights in the Botanic Fresca will add a dramatic splash of colour to any scheme. Aquamarine, dark dusky pink and bright chartreuse green sit on a soft white background. The funky graphic florals weave across the fabric giving a colourful and lively look.

Botanic Jardin :: These dramatic graphic florals will put a zing into any scheme. A zesty green background displays an eclectic jumble of tumbling flowers. The bright hot pink contrasts happily with the aqua, while a touch of white and fawn add beautiful balance.

by tuiss :: Fantastic roller blind for a child’s room or nursery

There’s no doubt about it, the Kinder Rainbow blackout blind will make a huge splash in any child’s bedroom.

While the blind is blackout to make sure that the sun doesn’t keep a little one awake, the front of the blind is as colourful and cheerful as it can be. With so many colours on this blind it’s easy to co-ordinate into a child’s bedroom with all their colourful and vibrant toys.

This blind blackout blind will brighten up any child’s room with its fun and cheerful design. In the foreground tulips and daises grow in a meadow and then there are ponds with ducks, rolling hills, followed by rainbows and smiling suns. White fluffy clouds, soaring birds and hot air balloons fill the rest of the blind.

Kinder Rainbow is a blind that you can look at over and over, any child will have great fun spotting their favourite bunny or choosing the best balloon.

Always make sure that blind cords or pulls are kept out of the reach of children.

by tuiss :: Roman & roller blinds with cotton seeds

For a natural look then cotton flecked and dotted with cotton seeds is second to none. The cotton seeds (or cottonseeds as one word) are usually removed from the cotton production process, however, for some fabric designs a proportion are left behind and incorporated into the weave. The seeds that are left add extra character to fabric as well as exuding a natural and luxurious feel.

How many seeds would you like? Roller or Roman?

Some fabrics have more seeds than others, choose the Stria Cotton roller blind for example which has quite a lot of scattered seeds, if you prefer less seeds then something like our Sommeil Calico blackout roller blind will fit the bill.

We have cotton seed fabrics available in both our roller, roman and blackout ranges, please click the links to see the entire range.

New blinds :: Patterned roller blinds

Pattern is the new black and to celebrate we’ve just added seven new blinds to our patterned range of roller blinds.

The importance of pattern

Using pattern in a decor scheme instantly adds interest and character to a room. Introducing pattern using a patterned window blind is an easy, quick and relatively inexpensive way to transform a room.

Rest assured that adding a patterned blind to an otherwise beautiful or ‘safe’ scheme will really raise the style stakes, particularly those blinds with flamboyant and colourful patterns, the Fleurista Green for example. If you have a room with existing patterns then some of the quieter more reserved blinds will look super, maybe Chambray Natural.

Patterned blinds :: great if you’re new to interior design or not feeling very brave

Trying bright paints or investing in feature wallpaper can sometimes result in costly and time-consuming mistakes! A patterned blind is a little more fail-safe, simply order a sample of your favourite blind, take it with you to select other design elements such as paint colours and soft furnishings. Not forgetting of course sticking the sample on your wall or window and living with it for a few days. For our entire range please click patterned roller blinds or patterned blackout roller blinds.

Toile Wedgewood :: This roller blind is so elegant with its tasteful toile pattern in Wedgwood blue.

Fleurista Pink :: The pattern on this blind is picked out in hot pink on a white background giving Fleurista Pink an upbeat and cheery quality.

The colour and pattern makes Fleurista Pink quite a feminine blind. An obvious choice would be the bedroom of a teenage girl but it would also complement living areas, particularly those styled with stark whites and shots of vivid colours.

Fleurista Green :: Fleurista Green has such a split personality. The contrasting colours of deep jade green and indigo purple sit quite harmoniously together thanks to their quiet richness.  This roller blind will really help to unite a scheme of contrasting colours, particularly intense and moody tones. On the flip side however it will blast itself into a space of whites and neutrals adding drama and excitement. Fleurista Green has such potential to transform a space, we really love it here at tuiss.

Naturally it will work well in neutral spaces or rooms that favour a brown or beige palette, equally in more vibrant rooms it will bring a touch of calm.
