Shutters Vs Blinds

Having a home you are proud of is incredibly important and while you may have definite ideas for the big parts, paying extra attention to the details is a great way to ensure you have everything perfected for your space.

Window coverings may seem like the last task on your to do list, but choosing the right kind can really change the entire look and feel of a room.

Blinds are a popular option as they are easy to install, easy to use and come in a range of colours and styles. The simplicity of blinds is part of what attracts people to them and the option to have them hidden is also a huge bonus. However, blinds can feel dull and boring and while functional, they add little to a room aesthetically.

Shutters are a fantastic alternative to those who want both style and functionality. Shutters act not only as window coverings but also as a feature of your home. Aesthetically, they are wonderful and can add a classic and fashionable touch to any room.

Durability is also a huge positive. Well-made shutters can last a lifetime and if maintained properly will look incredible for years, whereas alternatives like blinds and curtains often deteriorate from exposure to sun and various cleaning products.

Shutters are also fantastic insulators, which only makes them more desirable. They are able to be opened and closed depending on whether you want to retain heat or allow air flow.

There is also a wide range of materials that they can be made from, meaning you have far more flexibility when choosing the style that is right for you.

Low maintenance, durable and stylish, shutters are a fantastic way to add character and individuality to your home and are sure to be a talking point for guests.

Great service and great shutters both from Amy who quoted and Chris who fitted. I was really hoping they were the most competitive price as I thought Amy was the nicest person I received quotes from by far - and they were.

We had a brilliant experience with Brighton Shutter Company from initial contact through to fitting. Will responded to our contact email promptly and came round to quote within a few days. Our fitter Chris arrived when he said he would, was polite, and was done without any fuss within a few hours. The quality of the shutters is excellent. We wouldn't hesitate to use BSC again.

We ordered our shutters with Will from The Brighton Shutter Company, who was brilliant from the word go. Will took the time to go through all the different styles, colours and variations of shutters that they offer, he helps us design the perfect shutters for both rooms that we wanted all the way down to the little details. He communicated all the way through the manufacturing and delivery process, making sure we were not left out of any details. The installation was just as easy and took no time at all to install. The quality of the shutters are second to non, sturdy top quality timber and no defects or marks. They finish the room off beautifully, so thank you! Would 100% recommend and use when we come to getting more installed later down the line.
