When considering the aesthetics and functionality of window coverings, how you use a room can greatly influence your chosen shutter style. For instance, full-height shutters are ideal for bedrooms and living rooms where privacy and light control are paramount. These shutters cover the entire window and can have a mid-rail that allows the top louvres to be opened independently from the bottom slats, providing flexibility in light and privacy management.
Cafe-style shutters, which only cover the lower portion of the window, are perfect for kitchens and dining areas. This style maximises natural light while providing privacy from the street level, maintaining a bright and airy environment suitable for cooking and dining. This shutter type is ideal for a rustic or informal interior décor, enhancing the room’s overall charm and functionality during daylight hours.
For bathrooms, waterproof shutters, such as those made from faux wood or PVC, are the best option. These materials resist moisture and steam, preventing warping, peeling, or mould accumulation. Full-height shutters are ideal, as they offer complete privacy but can be adjusted to allow natural light in.
Solid shutters or blackout shutters are an excellent choice for bedrooms as they provide optimal privacy and excellent light control, essential for a peaceful sleeping environment. Full-height shutters with louvres that can be independently adjusted to let in light while maintaining privacy at the lower section of the window are an ideal option for adjusting light and air flow.
Plantation shutters are an ideal choice for conservatories due to their versatility and durability. You can adjust these shutters to control light, heat, and privacy, vital for a space often exposed to sunlight. They can be made to fit any window shape and size, for a seamless fit. Their ability to maintain a comfortable temperature and provide UV protection makes them particularly suitable for glass conservatories.
For dormer rooms, which often have slanted windows, custom-made plantation shutters are highly recommended. We can tailor them to fit the unique contours of dormer windows, ensuring maximum light control, privacy, and insulation. Additionally, their neat, fitted appearance enhances the aesthetic of these distinctive dormer windows while retaining functionality.
In kitchens, café-style shutters are an excellent choice. They cover only the lower half of the window, providing privacy while allowing plenty of natural light to enter from the top. For materials, we suggest faux wood or waterproof PVC shutters, as they are moisture-resistant and easy to clean, making them ideal for a kitchen where humidity and splashes are common.
