by tuiss :: New Vertical Blinds

Our collection of vertical blinds has been beautifully refreshed with the addition of nearly 100 new fabrics and in true tuiss style they all one thing in common, they are utterly tasteful. There are lots of natural textures as well as discreet patterns while the colour palette is very usable.

The fabrics have been added across the collections so you can enjoy beautiful new choices in the essential range, colours and textures, blackout and a brand new range of sumptuous faux silk and suede blinds. We love the new fabrics so why not go and take a peek and see if you love them too?

tuiss at Royal Ascot with Emma Jane Bamford

Famed for the outfits, the hats and the pageantry, as much as for the horse racing, Royal Ascot is a fabulous and very British event.

We asked Emma Jane Bamford a talented fashion illustrator to design a dress worthy of Royal Ascot taking our patterned roller blind collection as  her inspiration. Clearly Emma is always up for a challenge and we think these dresses and matching hats would go down a storm!Posy Red Dress

tuiss spot :: Linen Cotton Purity roman blind

We were delighted to spot a complete set of our roman blinds in May’s House Beautiful magazine. This absolutely beautiful space and was described as ‘Sandi and Sumptuous’ and we think our  Linen Cotton Purity roman blinds look fantastic and so in keeping with the Scandi feel.

Minimalist off-white roman blinds allow plenty of daylight into the room and are perfect for a Scandi feel.

And here’s what we have to say:

This gorgeous fabric is a blend of linen and cotton and boasts a beautiful linen weave featuring natural crepes and slubs. We promise you, this fabric has a personality all of its own!

For a pure and simple look the Linen Cotton Purity roman blind is a spectacular solution that will lend itself to so many different interior styles.

tuiss Loves :: Sarah Hough

Artist Sarah Hough starts each day by walking her dogs and taking in the beautiful English countryside. She shares what she sees with a quick daily sketch on her blog, how wonderful to be so talented and so generous with those talents.

By posting these sketches, I hope to offer a momentary pause in busy daily lives and a visual link with nature and the great outdoors, perhaps even bringing a breath of fresh air to brighten up your day.

Cows having breakfast

Up early this morning and tried to have a little chat with the cows over the hedge, but they were a bit too preoccupied with eating their breakfast.

tuiss Loves :: United Nations World Environment Day

Tomorrow is World Environment Day (WED) and the theme is think, eat, save.

This year’s campaign rallies you to take action from your home and then witness the power of collective decisions you and others have made to reduce food waste, save money, minimise the environmental impact of food production and force food production processes to become more efficient.

For ideas of how to think, eat and save check out some great ideas on the United Nations website, we love the idea of funny fruit, FIFO and Zeroing our fridge. What will you love and do?

tuiss Loves :: Vintage by Hemingway

Vintage by Hemingway is a stroll back in time to when life was maybe a little less hectic and dresses were definitely more dressy! If you like your colour palette a bit retro and your accessories kitsch then Vintage by Hemingway is absolutely for you.

As collectors and scholars of the history of 20th Century creativity from music, fashion, film, art and design to food we are constantly inspired by this wealth of creativity. Vintage by Hemingway is our tribute to the cultural movements of the 20th Century. From our Vintage inspired product ranges to the magical Vintage Festival. Vintage by Hemingway celebrates the wonderful legacy that has been left to us and reinterprets it for the 21st century.

The Vintage products are a mixed bunch from wallpaper to murals as well as bits and pieces for the kitchen and bathroom. Not satisfied with just selling authentically inspired vintage products Hemingway also organise vintage festivals too. Any plans for 27-28 July yet? See you in Glasgow!
