Match Your Shutters And Shelves In A Literary Hotspot

There are many good reasons to fit stylish shutter blinds in Brighton, which go so well with the tall windows common in the city’s Regency architecture. But the way your windows look, while important, is not the whole picture.

In order for your shutters not just to perform a utility role in your home but also to match up with the rest, you may need to consider the design and how these fit with other fixtures, fittings and furnishings in your home. For example, you may want the colours or the materials used in your shutters to match up with your bookshelves, and vice-versa.

Indeed, it appears that the average Brighton and Hove resident is much more likely to have a lot of bookshelves than most. A new survey by the Holiday Cottages website has revealed Brighton is in the top five UK locations for book lovers.  

According to a spokesperson for the website, this is not surprising. She said: “Brighton and Hove is a city famed for its creative and culturally rich environment, so it makes sense that this seaside city is in the top five UK literary hot spots.”

Indeed, one might reflect on the many famous books and series set in the city, from Graham Greene’s Brighton Rock to Agatha Christie’s Evil Under the Sun and Bethan Roberts’ My Policeman. One can only hope that not all the literature on Brighton book shelves is crime-related. 

Often if you are shopping for window coverings you can read lots of articles discussing the relative merits of blinds compared with shutters. While these are certainly worth reading to give you food for thought and ideas to discuss with our experts, it is just as important to make sure you are also thinking about how your choice will fit with the rest of your home.
