Shutters
A stylish and practical choice for your window covering
Welcome to our complete guide on shutters for windows — designed to help you find the perfect style, material, and finish for every window in your home. Whether you’re updating your living room, adding character to a bay window, or choosing a moisture-resistant option for the bathroom, we’re here to help make finding the right plantation shutters simple, inspiring, and perfectly suited to your home.
Main benefits of window shutters:
Shutters for bay windows
Why shutters work:
Bay windows are stunning architectural features of many modern and classic properties, and bay window shutters enhance their beauty while offering flexible light control and privacy solutions.
Recommended styles:
Tier-on-tier shutters: Independently opening top and bottom panels for ultimate versatility. A great stylistic choice for homeowners seeking practicality whilst staying on trend.
Full height shutters: A clean, classic look that emphasises the window’s natural elegance. Additional mid rails and hidden splits can be designed into the panels to offer various light and privacy control options.
Materials to consider:
- UK-made Basswood shutters for a luxurious feel.
- Paulownia+ shutters for an affordable, lightweight, stylish option.
Tip: Opt for wider louvers such as 76mm or 89mm for a modern shutter look and an airy finish.

Shutters for flat windows
Why shutters work:
Flat or standard windows are a blank canvas — the perfect space to showcase your personal interior shutter style with our custom shutters.
Recommended styles:
- Café style shutters: Cover the bottom half of the window for privacy while letting in plenty of light.
- Full height shutters: A perfect option for flat windows at the front of the house, offering excellent privacy and light control — ideal shutters for bedroom windows and living spaces alike.
Materials to consider:
- PVC shutters for moisture-prone areas like kitchens.
- White hardwood shutters for an elegant, tidy look to make a space feel bigger and brighter.
Tip: Opt for wider louvers such as 76mm or 89mm for a modern shutter look and an airy finish.

Shutters for sash windows
Why shutters work:
Traditional sash windows are the ideal home for shutters, preserving their historic charm while adding modern functionality.
Recommended styles:
- Tier-on-tier shutters with centre tilt rods: A nod to period style with added flexibility.
- Café style shutters: Enhance the character of your sash windows with a half-height style, which is great for privacy whilst not missing out on the natural light.
Materials to consider:
- Pine or Paulownia shutters for easy operation.
- Faux wood shutters for style and durability.
Tip: For traditional homes, a custom colour to match your windows will help keep a cohesive look.
Shutters for shaped windows
Why shutters work:
Arched, angled, or uniquely shaped windows are statement pieces — and bespoke shutters accentuate their beauty without compromise.
Shaped shutters are completely bespoke:
Tailor-made to fit even the most unusual shapes, shutters can highlight the architecture that off-the-shelf blinds cannot. Our experts can measure and design shutters for triangular, circular, or apex windows.
Materials to Consider:
Premium, lightweight hardwoods for intricate designs.
Tip: Finish with an easy tilt system for a clean, stunning look.
