Window shutters aren’t just for American colonial houses and French cottages. They might still be an unusual choice, but they’re becoming more and more popular – and for good reason. Available in modern and contemporary designs and a huge range of colours, window shutters become a permanent part of your home, and even add value to it. If you’re considering making this super chic addition to your home in 2017, you’re bound to have a few questions. We’ve answered some of the ones we get asked the most.

Window shutters are a great choice for a bathroom or wetroom as they make it easy to control your light and privacy levels. Tier-on-tier shutters are even more flexible, as they feature top and bottom sections that open independently. We even have a range of hard-wearing shutters that are water- and heat-resistant, making them ideal for humid environments like bathrooms, wetrooms and swimming pools.

With no cords or chains, window shutters are completely safe to use in a nursery or child’s bedroom. As they cover the whole window, they are even more effective than blackout blinds for shutting out the light, meaning baby won’t be woken by the morning sunshine. What’s more, the classic style will look beautiful no matter how many times you redecorate the room as your little one grows up.

You might be surprised how versatile window shutters are. They can be made to fit almost any window – sash, bay, arched, circular, triangular, even hexagonal. With so many colour and style options to choose from, you won’t feel restricted by your window’s unusual shape. In fact, shutters will make a real feature of it. You can even fit tracked shutters to patio or bifold doors.
