This image ticked all my boxes this week, a love of reading and my current love affair with grey.
The bookish wallpaper is available from the wonderful Bodie & Fou. It’s fantastically quirky and uses the new neutrals to the max!

thursday thought by tuiss :: leaf mould
What to do with all the leaves falling off the trees at the moment? The easy way is to create leaf mould, sounds delightful doesn’t it?
The beauty of creating leaf mould is that you won’t fill your bin up with leaves and in a couple of years you will have the most fantastic peat like matter to dig back into your garden.
Quite simply put the leaves in a black bag, add some water and punch holes in the side. Leave in a corner of your garden and hey presto the magic will work. For more detailed instructions just visit Recycle Now or Compost Gardener.
by tuiss :: Grey blinds, sophisticated and cool
I blogged recently about the New Neutrals and literally the colour grey is everywhere. Part of grey’s beauty is its flexibility and adaptability, it works so well with so many different colours, from the brights to the pastels, and of course the neutrals.
Here at tuiss we have all shades of grey from the lightest such as the Bonne Nuit Grey Blackout roller blind through to the darkest Chenille Smoke roman blind. To get exactly the right shade of grey why not take advantage of next day sample service? Get all the grey you could ever want and choose the perfect shade at your leisure.
Here’s just nine of our grey blinds to get your mind thinking or take a look at Heal’s Grey Matters collection for a little more inspiration.

tuiss trip to 100% design & decorex
Some of the tuiss team had a trip to London last weekend to visit 100% design and Decorex.
We had a splendid time checking out the current and future trends and we couldn’t help adding the tuiss url to the massive blackboard asking ‘What is the future of design?’.
The tuiss Autumn / Winter lookbook is released
Last week we took delivery of our new Lookbook. We love it so much we actually had the front cover blown up onto a canvas (thanks to Canvas4life) and hung on the wall of one of the offices. (The picture makes it look a little like we work out of a garage, we actually work out of a converted barn and the Creative’s office, where the picture is hung, is the old hayloft.)
Lookbooks are sent out with samples or to get inspired online take a browse through our ‘Get Inspired’ pages.
thursday thought by tuiss :: caring for hedgehogs this autumn
Slowly but surely autumnal days are creeping in, so my mind has turned to thinking about autumn, which inevitably leapt to leaves and then kind of inevitably leapt to hedgehogs.
Hedgehogs need our help, particularly in the colder months and it’s easier than you think to create a hedgehog friendly corner of your garden. You can even make or buy you own hoggy home to keep them safe and secure through the winter.
Take a look at the British Hedgehog Preservation Society or Snuffle Lodge, a hedgehog sanctuary based here in Nottingham, for hedgehog care advice.
by tuiss :: NRG Energy Saving roller blinds
Energy bills continue to be a ‘hot’ topic…how can we reduce them / save our pocket / save the planet etc etc
At tuiss we have a roller blind that can help to reduce your bills and make your home feel that bit warmer. The tuiss range of ‘NRG’ energy saving roller blinds tackles the heat loss from your windows. (Even the best performing windows lose five times as much heat as the same area of wall.)
An NRG blind has a special thermal coating on its rear that keeps the heat in and the elements out. All the NRG blinds offer significant environmental and cost benefits, just choose the blind that best suits your interiors scheme. The most thermally efficient blinds are from the NRG15 range, the energy saved is 15%, that’s £133* per year saved off your energy bill and in your pocket instead.
