by tuiss :: Broderie Chic roller blind

April 9, 2010 by Vanessa·1 Comment

Spring has finally sprung and it puts me in the mood for light bright and breezy blinds.

What better choice than the Broderie Chic roller blind, its eclectic mix of cool grey, warming russet, pink and green in such a cheerful design brings the outside inside beautifully.

This blind has a lovely balance of feminine florals combined with masculine retro colouring. A russet red sits alongside soft grey, lightest pink and a zingy lime green.

The upbeat look of the Broderie Chic blind will sit nicely alongside other fresh colours in a light and airy room. There are so many beautiful colours to play with here, feature russet walls, soft furnishings in cool grey, side lamps in green glass, the list is endless.

It’s so easy to find accessories to team with this delicate blind, my absolute favourites are featured below in all their glory.

by tuiss :: Easter window blinds

March 26, 2010 by Vanessa·0 Comment

Here at tuiss our mind is turning to Easter bunnies and chicks sitting on green grass with the odd chocolate egg thrown in.

We never need a big excuse to showcase our blinds so here’s our ‘Easter collection’. Personally I’m thinking Habitat Sunshine and Cherry and Chocolate is really quite close to a Cadbury’s Creme Egg.

Happy Easter to you all from tuiss.

tuiss staff favourites :: Legno NRG12 Ecru

March 19, 2010 by Vanessa·0 Comment

So this is our last staff favourite for our week of favourites. Showcasing today we have the Legno NRG12 Ecru roller blind and this is the choice of a lady from our samples’ department. Read all the detail on energy saving blinds here or click to buy here.

I think the entire Energy Saver range of roller blinds is fantastic. With rising energy bills it makes lots of sense to try and cut down usage wherever we can. I particularly like the Ecru because of its pattern and the fresh bright colours.

tuiss staff favourites :: Arboretum Poppy roller blind

March 18, 2010 by Vanessa·2 Comments

My turn! I wish I had a room to do the Arboretum Poppy roller blind justice. I love the depth of the colour and can see it in a sunny room filled with rich woods and vases of fresh flowers.

As well as writing the blog I have the happy task of describing all the tuiss blinds, here’s my description, I think you can feel the love!

This blind is so beautiful with its gorgeous rich red colour and flamboyant flowers and sprays. In a room of warm neutrals and creams this blind will add a dollop of richness, while the sand colour of the blooms will blend magnificently.

The blind’s richness will also complement bolder sumptuous settings, imagine other reds and maybe browns rubbing alongside this blind. Arboretum Poppy isn’t a blind that shouts it just hangs in quiet splendour waiting to be admired.

tuiss staff favourites :: Fusion Maxim Solum

March 17, 2010 by Vanessa·0 Comment

Today it’s the very tasteful Fusion Maxim Solum which is a firm favourite of another member of our team. The Fusion range is particularly special, it’s a unique fusion of aluminium slats, wooden rails and cotton tapes.

We have two options to choose from either a 25mm slat which is the Brevis range or the larger 50mm slat which is the Maxim range.

We’ve blogged about the Fusion range a few times, take look here and here if you want to hear us waxing lyrical!

The creamy slats really set the rich colour of the wood off beautifully. It’s very classy and looks expensive too.

tuiss staff favourites :: Concept Vision Engine perforated metal venetian blind

March 16, 2010 by Vanessa·0 Comment

Today we are featuring a perforated metal venetian blind, the Concept Vision Engine.This is a favourite of another member of our team. This blind features a 25mm slat and is available in a range of colours, click through to see the full range of metal venetian blinds.

I actually have this blind in my kitchen at home and it’s amazing what you can see through the blind when it’s down, the perforations let lots of light in and let you see out too. Great if you’re a bit nosy and like to know what’s going on outside!

The engine colour works well with my brushed steel accessories too.

tuiss staff favourites :: Diffusion3 Graphite roman blind

March 15, 2010 by Vanessa·0 Comment

Last week we showcased New York Steel roller blind on the blog because it was one of our web-designer’s favourite blind. Well we decided that we should see what the favourites were for the rest of the team too.

So kicking the week off we have the Diffusion³ Graphite roman blind which is a favourite of a gentleman from our customer services team. (Our customer service team are very knowledgeable so feel free to give them a call if you need any advice.)

My favourite is the Diffusion³ Graphite roman blind as it ticks so many boxes, the colour is very much in fashion at the moment and the blind has plenty of small details that are subtle but add to the quality appearance of the finished blind. The best thing though in my opinion is that it protects furniture and soft furnishings by blocking UV while still allowing as much light into the room as possible.

by tuiss :: Screen roller blinds

March 12, 2010 by Vanessa·2 Comments

This roller blind is an all singing all dancing masterpiece of innovation and technical wizardry! Sounds great doesn’t it? We think so.

In a nutshell this blind allows you to see out and no-one to see in, it also provides solar protection reducing glare and brightness on TV or computer screens. Thanks to the UV fabric these blinds are also energy efficient.

If that wasn’t enough the fabric is virtually 100% waterproof and washable, combine this with its bacterial and fungal resistant properties and you also have the perfect blind for kitchens.

What’s not to love about these roller blinds? If you love the fabric but a roller blind won’t suit the style of your room then you will be pleased to know that we also offer this fabric as a roman blind too, click the link to buy or click to read about them on the blog.

Diffusion3 Grigio roller blind

Optimum colour choice to suit your needs

This thoroughly modern blind is available in five contemporary colours from the very light diamond through to city chic grigio and deepest midnight.

A little bit on the science of colour, we all know that light is reflected off light colours and absorbed by dark colours. The colour of the fabric will therefore directly affect heat gain, brightness and glare.

The darker coloured blinds will absorb more light and heat so are less heat and energy efficient than lighter shades. However, due to the absorption these blinds will provide the best glare-free environments for computer and TV screens. Paradoxically dark blinds also offer a better view to the outside.

Lighter coloured blinds are more reflective so will result in lower heat gain, i.e. rooms will stay cooler. Be aware that in a very sunny room a lighter blind may cause bright surface brightness and therefore transmit light onto computer screens. If glare is a concern then choose a darker blind.
