The House Beautiful Awards 2011 was held at the Freemasons’ Hall in London in November. The awards commended not only the UK’s top TV personalities but also 2011’s best homes products and retailers.

First-time entrant to the awards Tuiss was the only window blind company to win one of the coveted trophies with a Silver Award in the category of Best Fabric product for its Helena Karelson designer range of made-to-measure blinds.

An impressive panel of judges, including experts John Rocha, Jeff Banks, Sophie Conran, Naomi Cleaver, Oliver Heath, Nick Munro, Lisa Stickley, Simon Boyle, David Domoney and Tommy Walsh, joined forces with House Beautiful editor Julia Goodwin to select the winners from a host of major household brand names.

The award was presented to Mark Bramley, managing director at Tuiss, by interior design guru and TV presenter Naomi Cleaver.
Mark Bramley said: “We are absolutely delighted to win this prestigious award and be recognised by one of the top home interiors magazines in the UK and such an eminent group of judges.  The Helena Karelson designer collection has sealed Tuiss’s reputation as a truly innovative company which is prepared to push the boundaries of window styling and design.”

The colourful collection comprises venetian and roman blinds with inset sections of bright colours boldly complementing the stylish background colour of the blind.  The contrasting colour combinations are unique and exclusive to the UK market and bring a cutting edge design element to interiors.

The Helena Karelson collection is exclusive to Tuiss and is available to the interior design and window retail trade. For further information and to order online visit Tuiss.
