Double Pinch Pleat Curtains
Unveiling a classic and elegant look, double pinch pleat curtains exude timeless sophistication. The meticulous folds create a structured and formal appearance. This makes them ideal if you’re wanting to add a touch of refinement to any room.
Pencil Pleat Curtains
Pencil pleat curtains offer a more casual and versatile aesthetic. The gathered fabric at the top allows for easy adjustment to get those pleats looking just the way you want. The gathered fabric adds texture and depth. Pencil pleats are suitable for various interior styles and a wonderful way to finish the styling of any room.
Eyelet Curtains
Embrace contemporary simplicity with eyelet curtains. The large, smooth-edged eyelets create a clean and simple look, making them great for modern living spaces. Easy to install and maintain, they provide a sleek finish. When ordering your eyelet curtains, you have the choice of nickel or antique brass eyelets. This gives you the ability to coordinate your curtains better with your colour palette.
Contemporary S-Fold Curtains
Our S-Fold Curtains are simple, sophisticated and stylish. With their very own track included, you can enjoy gentle waves and a neat, uniform finish perfect for the modern home. Pulling back effortlessly to a small stack, they also allow lots of light to come flooding through larger windows and doors. It’s an effortless way to achieve a contemporary and luxurious look. The uniform waves create a stunning visual effect. The vertical folds draw the eye upwards and give the impression of height in your room. To achieve the maximum impact, we suggest installing the track either on the ceiling, or just below your cornice, embracing floor to ceiling curtains.
Roman Styles – Traditional vs Tooless
Traditional Roman Blinds
These blinds effortlessly blend timeless elegance with practical functionality. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, traditional Roman blinds feature horizontal panels that fold neatly upon themselves when raised, creating a series of cascading, tailored pleats. They provide a refined and sophisticated appearance that complements a variety of interior styles. Their clean lines and tailored finish make them a versatile choice for both modern and classic spaces.
Click2Fit Roman Blinds – Easiest DIY installation
Experience the ultimate in DIY convenience with our Click2Fit Roman blinds. Designed for hassle-free installation, these blinds offer a contemporary solution that requires no drilling. Transform your space with ease as these tooless blinds click effortlessly into place in recessed windows, providing instant style and functionality.
Designed for simplicity, the Click2Fit system allows you to effortlessly install the blinds without the need for a drill. If you opt for the SmartView motorisation with Click2Fit, the blind is cordless, so no other tools needed to secure the control chain either!
The innovative click mechanism secures the blinds firmly in place within recessed windows, while still offering the beauty and benefits of traditional roman blinds. The Click2Fit system can be ordered as an option on every roman blind in the Tuiss collection, so there’s no need to sacrifice style for simplicity.
Level Up with Luxe Linings
As you explore the possibilities of what you can customise with DIY window furnishings, the linings can often be the unsung heroes. They allow you to personalise your curtains or blinds according to your preferences. The choice between light filtering or blockout linings, thermal interlinings or even just sheer fabrics, empowers you with the freedom to create an atmosphere that suits your needs for that particular room.
Light Filtering Lining
Ideal for those seeking a balance between natural light and privacy, light filtering lining gently diffuses sunlight, creating a soft and inviting ambiance within the space. Perfect for creating a soft and inviting atmosphere, these linings allow a gentle glow while maintaining your privacy.
Blockout Lining
For those desiring maximum light control and privacy, blockout lining is the way to go. This option ensures no light passes through the fabric, making it perfect for bedrooms and media rooms. This can also assist in keeping your rooms a comfortable temperature, particularly if you are layering window furnishings, which we look at more in depth below.
Thermal Interlining – Energy Efficiency at its Best
We take a step further in energy efficiency with thermal interlining. This innovative feature not only regulates room temperature but also contributes to significant energy savings. By trapping heat in winter and blocking it in summer, homeowners can enjoy a comfortable living space while reducing energy bills. Thermal interlining isn’t a complete blockout however, and the light control aspect sits between what you would have from a light filtering and a blockout lining.
Sheer Fabrics
Not a lining per se, but worth mentioning in this section all the same, sheer fabrics stand alone in that they don’t have any separate linings. They are ordered simply as a sheer curtain or blind. They offer ethereal elegance allowing in glorious sunlight and a view to the outdoors, while still maintaining daytime privacy. These are generally most effective when layered with a blockout blind or curtain to give you the most flexibility when it comes to privacy and light control. And yes, both curtains & roman blinds are available in sheer fabrics!
Fall In Love with Layering
When layering, it’s important to think of how you use the space, and what types of layers and linings will best suit your needs and aesthetic. From there you can decide if you want your window furnishings to be subtle and fairly neutral within your interior, or become the canvas for iconic designer prints that make a statement.
Floor-to-Ceiling Curtains
Optimizing the energy-saving potential, floor-to-ceiling curtains create a seamless visual flow and efficiently insulate the room, particularly if you’ve opted for blockout or thermal lining.
Floor to ceiling curtains can prevent drafts and retain heat during the colder months. This stylish solution not only adds a touch of grandeur to your space but also enhances its overall energy performance.
They can be paired beautifully with any type of blind, or installed as a double layer with the combination of a sheer curtain and a blockout curtain.
Roman Blinds Paired with Curtains
For a versatile and layered approach, combining curtains & roman blinds adds depth and timeless style. Roman blinds extended past the windows provide an additional layer of insulation and light control, allowing homeowners to customise their space according to their needs.
You might pair a sheer or light filtering roman blind with a blockout curtain, or do the reverse and incorporate a blockout roman blind with a sheer curtain.
