Style or substance?
Okay, this is a bit of a trick question. We of course offer both! Our wooden plantation shutters stand the test of time, daily wear and tear, and are easy to clean – great news when dust or small sticky fingers are around – or both! Lucky you.
Are you looking for chic, calm minimalism for your zen den or bedroom? To ensure your shutter design remains a harmonious feature for years to come, consider a white finish, as these compliment a huge range of interior design tastes and flavours!

Perhaps something bright and funky to add the finishing touch to a feature wall is something you’re more interested in? No problem! Whilst white is the most popular of colour choices, we are always excited to provide unusual or custom colours for shutters – you’d be amazed how effective even a soft sage colour can look in a living room, or a pebble colour in a bathroom or kitchen. Check out our gallery for some colour inspiration! Whatever your style, we can design and install the perfect shutters for you. See our custom colour shutters
Shutters are securely fitted to the window area, and so make a fantastic, long term, timeless addition to your home. They provide insulation, privacy and light – or lack thereof, if that’s what you want!.
Show it off!
Are you lucky enough to have a beautiful arch window in your home? How about a sweet porthole window? A dramatic triangular feature? If so, you will know how difficult it is to find a window covering that really compliments and frames the space, rather than hiding it behind curtains or other out-of-the-box solutions. We can help you to enhance these wonderful features of your home with bespoke plantation shutters, measured to fit perfectly onto your unique window area. If you’ve got it, flaunt it!

Privacy AND light?!
You don’t need to have curtains half open, half closed anymore, and you can tear down that yellowing lacy voile that’s been plaguing the windows of your home for far too long. If you want to sit in your dressing gown and work all day, you do you!
Shutters provide permanent privacy whilst allowing in as much sunlight into the room as you want! There are a range of designs to choose from to suit your home, of course. For example, traditional sash windows in a lot of the homes in the Brighton and Hove area look fabulous with Cafe Style shutters. These typically cover the lower half of the window, leaving the top completely open and free of any fixtures. This is a brilliant option for privacy, whilst also allowing as much light to enter the room as possible. These create a wonderful open, airy feel to the space. Another option would be our Tier-on-Tier design. Think ‘double-decker’ shutters – like the Cafe Style, but with another row of panels on top! This design offers you the option of almost complete blackout, as and when needed. Check out our gallery for a range of both Cafe Style and Tier-on-Tier shutter designs.
