by ·0 Comment

tuiss wooden blinds just got even more special! The Forestria range of blinds is now available with cotton tapes, the combination of 50mm slat and 38mm tape gives a distinguished and classic look.

There are over 15 blinds in the range and all have been hand-selected by our design team to ensure that there’s a blind for every room and every style. The range includes beautiful blinds with harmonising tapes and there are also gems with contrasting tapes. All of the tapes add a touch of extra softness to the wood and just a hint of retro.

The tapes obviously look good but they also give added privacy and light control by overlaying the cord holes in the slats. The 50mm slat also works to keep the light out making these blinds the perfect choice for a bedroom and a long lie in! Here’s just a small selection of the range, please click here for the full range.

This is a stunning union of Ivory and Linen that brings to mind simplicity and tranquillity with a big shot of style thrown in for good measure. The wood and the tape tone harmoniously together, the tape being just a shade brighter than the Ivory. This blind will sit perfectly in rooms where a light blind is right but needs to be softer than pure white. This blind has wonderful leanings to shabby chic, think of weathered furniture and organic colours all threaded together with home comforts. It is a beautiful blind that can take your decor anywhere.

The creamy darkness of the brown Cacao cotton tapes co-ordinate beautifully with the raisin coloured depth of the Wenge giving a luxurious and stylish look.

This combination is stunning and makes a sophisticated and eye catching statement. The blue of the cotton tape is straight out of a Farrow and Ball paint archive with its heritage feel, it lies somewhere between baby blue and sky blue, really bringing out the warmth of the white wooden slat. This coolest of designs will look utterly fabulous in a kitchen or bathroom where blue is a popular accent colour, the shabby chic of a coastal inspired room will also suit this blind. Don’t be mistaken though, this is no niche blind, in a room of creams, browns and highlights of blue this blind will look sensational.

The contrasting Terra cotton tape gives the Vintage Oak blind a designer edge. The browny red russet colour of the Terra adds a touch of drama to the caramel tones of the Vintage Oak. This combination of mid brown wooden slat and auburn tones of the tape will sit very nicely in many rooms, just imagine it with a toning wall or in a room of pale neutrals with accents of earthy browns and rusty reds.

The polar opposites of black and white always ooze sophistication when they are brought together and the combination of white Blanc slat and black Ebony cotton tape is no exception. The contrast between the colours of the wood and tape will cleverly echo rooms styled in mono tones giving subtle support to the scheme. If smart and contemporary are the watchwords of your room then we think you may have found the perfect blind.
