A Quick Guide To Window Shutters
By Ana Zuravliova
There is a great selection of window furnishings available on the market, but few have the same mix of chic charm with a touch of nostalgic whimsy as window shutters. Window shutters are a perfect addition to many homes as they offer an interesting focal point for a room without being overly dominant. In today’s blog, we’ll be exploring the stylistic and practical benefits of window shutters, and why you should consider them to refresh your interior design.
The different styles of window shutters
At Blinds Direct, we offer three gorgeous styles of shutters. They are:
Full Height window shutters
A full height shutter is the classic choice and will cover the full height of your window, providing total privacy and excellent light control.
Cafe-Style window shutters
Cafe-style shutters cover the bottom half of your windows, allowing the top section to remain open, letting sunlight in whilst maintaining privacy. These are particularly popular in living spaces and kitchens.
Tier-on-Tier window shutters
Tier-on-tier shutters offer a happy medium between full height and cafe-style, allowing the top and bottom shutters to function independently for your desired level of privacy and sunlight.
What are window shutters?
Sleek, elegant and eye-catching, window shutters are the ideal addition for any style-conscious person looking to add a delicate yet homely statement to their decor.
Full of character and excitement, window shutters introduce the charm of traditional chic décor to the comfort of 21st century homes. Handcrafted from wood taken only from sustainably managed forests, window shutters from Blinds Direct are built to last. Moreover, we offer a range of equally high quality window shutters constructed from faux wood.
Faux wooden shutters are the best option for rooms with high moisture levels. Unlike natural wood, faux wood will not warp or crack when regularly exposed to water. As a result, consider adding faux wooden shutters to your windows in bathrooms or above kitchen sinks.
