Thursday thought by tuiss :: Corded telephones

Last week we blogged about getting nostalgic so when I across this little idea it was quite serendipitous!

What about swapping your cordless phone for a traditional corded variety? These phones are infinitely more stylish than a new fangled one, don’t require a separate plug-in for electricity and don’t use energy all day long. It’s a no-brainer for any stylish home-owner!

p.s. – It just goes to show if you hang on to anything long enough it’ll come round again!

Thanks to tiny choices.

by tuiss :: Harlequin Silk roman blinds

There’s nothing like real silk for creating an opulent and wonderful space. Here at tuiss we have a gorgeous selection of silk harlequin fabrics and they make the most wonderful roman blinds. Who can resist such loveliness?

We should just mention, even if it is a bit boring, all Harlequin roman blinds are supplied with a Deluxe Perfect Raise endless chain sidewinder featuring nickel operating chain. This is the perfect finishing tuiss touch, it looks great and operates so very smoothly.

Here’s some wonderful photography that really does show off the colours and tone of these fabrics. Please click the images below or click through to see all the Harlequin roman blinds or silk roman blinds.

by tuiss :: Clarissa roller blinds

Inspired by the strongly coloured botanical designs of Clarissa Hulse this roller blind design is really very beautiful.

The small scale design of spring-like leaves is just enough to add interest, while the colours vary from neutral Biscuit through to funky Sicilian Lime and Fandango.

This roller blind with aluminium operating chain will look superb in a family room or bedroom and is also ideal for a kitchen or bathroom. A wonderful fresh look for a room in your home.

by tuiss :: Harlequin Pod 9339 roman blind

Pod 9339 is one of our favourite Harlequin fabrics, it is so of the moment and just such a lovely design. It makes a fantastic roman blind and will dress a window beautifully.

Pod 9339 is  inspired by the beautiful shape of honesty seed pods, not quite oval in shape they have such an organic shape that will help add a natural note to your room. The warm white backdrop proudly displays the pattern in navy, duck egg and taupe.

The chalkiness of the colours keeps this fabric print light and fresh and it will harmonise gorgeously with other light notes,  or maybe act as the perfect contrast to interior’s schemes with a deeper palette. Our clever photographer has picked up the the wonderful play between the neutral taupe tones and the more colourful blue notes, just like stone outlined against the sky.

Of course we have a whole collection of Harlequin roman blind fabrics that you can peruse at your leisure. All blinds are available with standard or blackout lining, whichever suits your needs best.

by tuiss :: Mink roman blind

In eagle eyed fashion I spotted a beautiful tuiss blind in March’s ‘Your Home’ magazine. It’s always nice to see our blinds in-situ and we think that our Tessutto Mink roman blind looks wonderful hanging at this large window.

As part of the room’s make-over the home-owner Ruth felt that the net curtains were looking ‘dated’ and wanted something more contemporary. The tuiss website was found and hey presto this is the result.

She ordered some fabric swatches which arrived the following day which then helped Ruth decide on a mink coloured fabric for her blind.

We have a huge range of roman blinds including blinds made with Harlequin fabric and also blinds designed by Patrizia Gucci. Just like Ruth you can advantage of our free sample service too, a great way to help you choose the right blind for your room.

tuiss Love :: Roost Living
