Colonial wooden blinds :: perfect for privacy

by ·1 Comment

It’s officially cold outside so the need to snuggle up of an evening is definitely with us! What better way to make it feel toasty with a wooden Colonial blind at the window?

Our Colonial collection is very special and innovative with its ‘slot free’ design. Simply put this means that there is just a single hole at the rear of each slat so that when the blinds are closed none of the strings are visible. Not only that they also offer exceptional privacy too.

A blind from the Colonial collection is a vote for a simple and streamlined look that lets the beauty of the wooden slats do the talking, whether you choose a painted slat or a natural slat with all the character and beauty of wood.

If privacy is important to you then these blinds are just the thing, when the blinds are drawn down there are no visible holes so your privacy is totally secure. The design of the blind will also allow less light in as each cord hole is covered by the neighbouring slat when closed.

As a special treat for Christmas we currently have 20% off the Pure White and Dark Oak. Hurry through before this offer ends!

Beautiful paulownia timber

The wood used is paulownia timber, a remarkable tree species known for its fine grain and warp resistance. The tree is extraordinarily fast growing and once harvested the tree regenerates from its existing roots system.

by tuiss :: Wooden blinds with tapes

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.

Complimentary tapes

How can anyone resist a Cherry and Chocolate blind? The chestnut tones of the Cherry are made even more appealing with the addition of the darker Chocolate tape, think a bar of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk and you’re spot on with the colour. This blind is so tasteful and refined and is versatile enough to suit both traditional and contemporary styles. It would be a wonderful addition to any elegant or sumptuous room, there’s no end of accessories that will coordinate with the Cherry and Chocolate combination.

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. The tapes bring extra softness to the wooden blind making it perfect for any room in the home that begs to be cosy and snug. Imagine this blind teamed with other intense colours for a homely and traditional feel or in a room of soft creams and muted berry colours this blind would add strength to the scheme.

Contrasting tapes

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.

Bamboo blinds :: sustainable beauty by tuiss

by ·0 Comment

tuiss bamboo blinds are not only beautiful but tick the eco-credential box in a big way.

Bamboo is the uber sustainable wonder product. A few quick facts for you. It grows incredibly fast, some species grow one and a half meters a day. A softwood can take 10-20 years to mature, while bamboo can be harvested in 3-5 years. Bamboo will also release 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees and absorbs far more carbon dioxide.  (All facts courtesy of the Environmental Bamboo Foundation.)

Choosing a bamboo blind keeps it stylish and it’s kind to the environment. There are five blinds in the range from the lightest chalk through to deepest darkest walnut. Keep it light and airy with the kirin or play to the nigra’s dark side with a cutting edge exclusive look. Our stylist and photographer have produced these beautiful shots that showcase the blinds perfectly.
