Style or substance?

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! Arch Window Shutters

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.

Why choose white shutters?

When it comes to shutter colours you really can have it any which way. You’ve got your whites, off-whites, creams, greys, and wood stains. That’s without even mentioning the hundreds – maybe even thousands – of colour matching options available.

Shutters in Sussex have never been so easy.

When it comes to shutter colours you really can have it any which way. You’ve got your whites, off-whites, creams, greys, and wood stains. That’s without even mentioning the hundreds – maybe even thousands – of colour matching options available. Here at The Brighton Shutter Company we like to keep things simple. So, to help you out we’ve compiled a short list on why white shutters are a great choice.

1.   Simple, but effective

We get it. You’re looking for that elusive “Wow Factor” the moment you walk into the room. Maybe you think that white isn’t a bold enough choice. However, there’s a reason that white is our most popular colour. By choosing white shutters, you’ll get a simple look with a huge impact. Apart from bringing a fresh feel to a room, it will evoke feelings of tranquillity and relaxation. Sounds great, right? We couldn’t agree more.

2.   It will go with any décor

Our customers often tell us that the most difficult thing for them is choosing the perfect shutter colour to go with their existing décor.  Nowadays, most homes have white windowsills. The same goes for skirting boards, door frames and cornices. If you’re worried about a colour clash, then why not go for the tried and tested? Not only this, but if you’re starting from scratch, or undergoing a complete renovation, your white shutters will serve as the perfect neutral focal point to build around, no matter the look you’re going for. Simply put, white is a classic choice, and its adaptability means it will never go out of style.

3.   It’s incredibly versatile

When we say white, we don’t mean one shade. As any interior designer will tell you, there are tonnes of different shades of white. Indeed, these different shades will have different effects. If you are opting for a clean, modern and minimalist look, then our Pure White is the perfect choice for you. If it’s a more traditional look that you are going for, then you’ll want to go for one of our warmer shades. Silk White or Shell are both great options

4.   Brighten up your Living Space

If you want to add more light into a room, then there is no better choice than white shutters. It can serve to add freshness and lighten up the atmosphere of any space. It also works just as well in summer or winter, so even the gloomiest of rooms can be illuminated.

5.   It’s practical

While we’re massively into style, we don’t skimp on the substance either. Apart from looking amazing, white can have a maximising effect on a room, making the space seem larger than it is. If you have a room that feels just that little bit claustrophobic, then some beautiful white shutters are sure to open up the space. Why knock down a wall when you can shutter a window?

So, why not see for yourself? Whether your windows are big or small, square or circular, recessed or otherwise, our service is always designed for you. Let us show you how white shutters can improve your home. Call now on 01273 232 091 or book on an appointment below.
