Our collections of English Classics Curtains and Roman Blinds are absolutely timeless. Inspired by the English country garden the fabrics look as good today as they did in years gone by.
Enjoy these designs in so many different settings from country and classic spaces to rooms that need a little touch of retro shabby chic. From floral designs on a small scale such as English Rose or Gardenia to bigger prints like Sandringham we hope we have your perfect design.

As we move from one season to the next the work of printmaker Angie Lewin caught my eye.
Inspired by the North Norfolk coast and the Scottish Highlands Angie’s designs depict windy cliff tops, salt marshes and places of total wilderness. Using wood engraving, silkscreen and collage, among other techniques, her work is restful and beautiful.
She sees the beauty in all seasons and all manifestations of plants: the ordered pattern of the blooms, the thrusting energy of the emerging buds, the prolific seedheads and the varieties of shapes, colours and habits to be found in meadow and border.
Last week I blogged about our fabulous new Autumn/Winter collection. I thought today we could have a walk through the Contemporary Print roman blinds and curtains collection.
These fresh collections feature stunning designs all with a contemporary air. Some patterns have a Scandinavian feel, some have a retro influence while others feature modern damasks and stylised florals. We hope you enjoy browsing the collection as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
Remember we do offer a next day free sample service so if you are spoilt for choice or just want to check the fabric at the window please do order some samples.

We have just had a glorious re-vamp of our entire range of roman blinds!
With lots of new fabrics as well as collections (how can you resist Neutral & Natural or English Classics?) it really is better than ever. I was really spoilt for choice when choosing which to show on the blog, here are three of my personal favourites.
We are suckers at tuiss for quirky designs and we so easily fall head over heels if you also happen to involve a rabbit, deer or some other wild animal in the design!
Based in Scotland, Orwell and Goode with their love of the unusual, and their very clever and beautiful designs are therefore a big hit with us. Original designs featuring native Scottish animals have been screen printed onto tote bags, tea towels, lampshades and more. How can you resist the Dandy Doe art print (a deer in Victorian drag) or beautiful hand-printed silk lampshade featuring a night time highland scene of silhouetted stags?
A smiley duo of designer printmakers based in Scotland. The pair make an interesting combination which is evident in their creations. Together they make beautiful things for living, dining and giving. They like to make the usual a little unusual, make the ordinary, extraordinary! And together they make everything ‘all well and good!’.
Thornback & Peel take inspiration from all sorts of places but I think my favourite one has to be Mr McGregor’s garden! There’s something about this rabbit bounding through some scrumptious cabbages that makes me smile.
Inspired by an eclectic mixture of Victoriana, Mrs Beeton’s household management, Mr McGregor’s garden, 17th century microscope imagery of the natural world, Norfolk and Devon. Thornback & Peel is a celebration of the quirkiness of British humour and design.
We already have a fantastic collection of striped roman blinds but now we’ve added even more fabrics.
The Herringbone with its beautiful twill finish and the Fowey fabric are very reminiscent of deck-chair chic and are available in some beautiful colour ways. The fabulous Falmouth fabric on the other hand is a patriotic beauty in wide stripes of red, white and blue.
