Celebrate Quentin Blake’s Birthday with tuiss!

Today is a special day in the world of children’s literature. Celebrating his 81st birthday is illustrator Quentin Blake, famed for his iconic drawings that accompanied the stories of Roald Dahl. Inimitable and unique, Blake has received hundreds of accolades for his work and is recognised the world over.

We think his drawings would look lovely on a pair of curtains or a set of blinds – the perfect way to finish off a child’s room. Perhaps in the near future we could see some of his illustrations on Tuiss… wink, wink!

Sabine Reinhart Blinds by tuiss®

At Tuiss we’re proud to announce that we’ve teamed up with distinctive German designer Sabine Reinhart to bring you a unique collection of beautiful patterned roller blinds.

Sabine’s inimitable style is inspired by nature and by using bold lines and manipulating light and shade she manages to create wonderfully intricate floral designs and geometric patterns that are as much a work of art as they are a window dressing.

Sabine is no stranger to partnerships, having worked with companies such as Landor and Adobe, and her ethereal, enchanting blind designs are so unique, you won’t find anything like them anywhere else.

What’s more, all of her designs are available with a choice of standard, blackout and energy saving linings so you can choose a different Sabine Reinhart blind for every room in your home!

tuiss Loves : : Hot Water Bottles by YuYu

Hot water bottles are great this time of year but there’s just one problem – they never keep your whole body warm! Richard Yu found this out to his cost one cold winter back in 2010 and decided to do something about it.

The result of his cold feet was to design the world’s first long hot water bottle. Ergonomically designed, it can be used to soothe aches and pains as well as keep you warm during the cold winter nights.a71dcf4d-1b2f-4c07-bf30-c7789fac7f51

What’s more, they’re stylish too; wrapped in coats of the finest Mongolian cashmere and made from ecologically sound rubber, YuYu hot water bottles are a luxurious and practical companion the keep you warm all winter long.

tuiss loves : : Micro Art

We thought that with our special Tuiss toggles and hand stitched finishes that we were the masters of attention to detail. Even we might have to admit defeat having seen these amazing drawings by Turkish artist Hasan Kale.

Painting pictures of his hometown, Istanbul, Kale uses unusual materials as his canvas. From snail shells to butterfly wings, nothing seems too small or too delicate for his steady hand. He manages to get incredible detail into each picture, even using his finger as a mixing palette.

The result is a range of beautiful little objects decorated with incredibly intricate detail. We’re very impressed.

“tuiss blinds throughout”

What are the first things you look for when buying a house? The location? The price? How nice it looks already? Well, if this house is anything to go by, it’s whether or not the blinds are from Tuiss.

We found this house in Harwich on Rightmove earlier this week and by the time it came to write this post, the house had already been sold!

Among the key features listed in the description (above its proximity to the station and the fact that all the windows were double glazed) was the fact that it had ‘Tuiss blinds throughout’.

So if you’re looking to move house, with a touch of Tuiss magic and one or two of our famous Tuiss toggles in the images – voila, you’re house is sold!

Funky New Tuiss Roman Blinds

Ever get fed up of the same old designs? Natural linens and silver stripes are all well and good but sometimes it’s great to make a statement by injecting a real flash of colour into your home.

Over at Tuiss, we’ve added a collection of fun and funky patterns to cater for that very need. Reserved they ain’t! There’s spots and spirals, pop art and parrots. For the petrolheads among you, there’s even a pair of Minis in bright colours and some equally vibrant Vespas on offer.

Pots, pans, teacups and shelf designs are great for the kitchen while flowers and trees add an organic flavour to your home.

tuiss Loves : : Eco Wallpaper

We haven’t ‘loved’ anything for quite a while so when we came across the Eco wallpaper site, we knew it was time to rectify the situation.

With company ties stretching back to the 19th century they are one of the Scandinavia’s leading wallpaper specialists. Their idea is to use wallpaper as decoration, in the same way as art or paintings, and many of their unique and interesting designs reflect just that.

The idea behind ECO is to be surprising and to encourage curiosity and an urge to experiment – in a playful way. All this helps to create an interesting home, one unlike any other. We simply want to share our passion for wallpaper that challenges traditional thinking. Welcome – be inspired.

We absolutely love their artistic take on interior design, with their Renaissance range a particular favourite. But what makes them really stand out is their dedication to producing their products in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

As their name suggests, environmental awareness is a key aspect of their production with them even going as far as to own their own water treatment facility to produce their water based inks.

So if you’re looking for something decorative, powerful and beautiful, with the added bonus of being eco-friendly, Eco wallpaper is the place to go.
