Window shutters are very fashionable right now. Forget curtains or blinds. It’s the traditional wooden shutter that’s gaining popularity in homes across the UK. In fact, the Sunday Times noted that plantation shutters are now ‘Britain’s window dressing of choice’. So why are these traditional window treatments becoming so popular with homeowners and interior designers? We take a look at the key reasons why the British public is putting plantation shutters at the top of their list.
They’re a Design Statement
Beautifully finished window shutters will transform a room. They blend in seamlessly, giving an understated finish that works with all styles of décor. Timeless in their appeal, they’ll complement both period and contemporary homes effortlessly. And if you decide to update your furnishings with changing fashions, you can rest assured that your shutters will continue to deliver the wow factor.
They’re Built to Last
Window shutters are extremely hard wearing and require little to no maintenance. Quality shutters have the durability to cope with busy family life and keep looking as good as the day they were first fitted. Whether you choose traditional wooden shutters or our equally attractive water resistant shutters, they’re a beautiful and resilient solution that will stand the test of time.
They Allow you to Enjoy Fresh Air
There’s nothing better than letting a warm summer breeze flow through your room. However, along with this breeze come the multiple inconveniences of flapping curtains, fabric-fading sunlight, unwanted insects and the loss of privacy. Not with window shutters. You can simply open your windows, tilt your shutter blades to the perfect position and sit back and enjoy the fresh air. It’s the perfect way to ventilate your home naturally.
They Provide Privacy
Window shutters will offer full window coverage when needed. With all the slats closed, they give you maximum privacy. This makes them the ideal choice for houses on busy roads, ensuring passers-by do not get a view of your interiors. However, you’ll also have the option to let the light and air flood in when required. Open up the slats on the top section of your shutters, or even fold the shutters back completely. It’s the best of both worlds.
They Come in a Range of Styles and Colours
We can offer window shutters to suit every taste and style. Whether you’re looking for a painted finish or prefer the natural wood texture of stained shutters, our experts can select the perfect match for your décor. You can also select from traditional or portobello shutters, depending on your preference for period or contemporary styles. Whatever your taste, we’ll have the shutter to suit you.
Window shutters are a beautiful addition to any home. They blend seamlessly into your interiors, adding a contemporary touch of style that’s enduringly fashionable. They’re hard-wearing and easy to maintain. And they’ll keep their good looks for years beyond the likes of curtains or blinds. What’s more, they’ll improve your kerb appeal and boost the value of your home. It’s no wonder that window shutters are Britain’s first choice.
