“Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful” William Morris (1834–96).
William Morris is one of Britain’s most famous and prolific designers; renowned for acclaimed patterns such as `Strawberry Thief’ and `Willow Bough’. Inspired by the most comprehensive collection of Morris’s works in virtually every medium held at the V&A, Tuiss Blinds Online have created a beautiful collection of made to measure blinds and curtains featuring the work of William Morris, designed for easy DIY.
This collaboration is a wonderfully contemporary take on the designer’s much-loved work. Tuiss Blinds Online has years of expertise in creating luxurious and affordable window dressings, enabling them to expertly showcase the incredible array of designs cared for by the V&A, the world’s leading museum of art, design and performance.
Speaking about the collaboration, Tuiss Blinds Online’s Managing Director Matthew Walsh says, “William Morris’ belief in equality of access to the arts was what made him such a great friend to the V&A. With this collaboration, we have highlighted some of Morris’s best work by developing a collection of designs that are beautiful, useable and accessible to all.”
The design team at Tuiss Blinds Online has taken a selection of Morris’ most recognisable patterns and created a unique offering of roman blinds, roller blinds and curtains in a gorgeous array of colourways. This collection aims to maintain the essence and beauty of those original patterns, combining them with modern palettes that make them easier to use in a contemporary setting.
Amelia Calver, the V&A’s Research and Development Manager explains, “This collection gives the V&A a unique opportunity to highlight its most loved designs to a new audience, as well as those who are familiar with the patterns, and see them continuing their journey into homes and interiors.”
The V&A William Morris collection is something of a jewel in the crown within Tuiss Blinds Online’s extensive collection of made to measure products. In addition to a vast array of exclusive patterns, Tuiss also boasts an enormous offering of practical window dressing solutions with everything from stylish motorised blinds and refined curtains through to elegant plantation shutters. With the ability to automate your blinds, or even opt for “no-drill” headrails for even easier installation, DIY looks better than ever. With easy to follow measuring and fitting guides and a fast, free sample service, Tuiss makes made to measure style accessible to all. https://www.blindsonline.com.au/
