What Are Interior Shutters?

Interior shutters are solid, custom-fitted window coverings made from wood or composite materials. Unlike blinds or curtains, they’re mounted directly to the window frame and feature adjustable slats (louvres) that offer precise control over light and privacy.

They’re ideal for:

• Bay windows and period properties
• Kitchens and bathrooms (moisture-resistant options available)

• Bedrooms where dimming light and insulation matter

  Which Interior Shutter Style Is Right for You?

  Full-Height Shutters
  Best for: Bedrooms, living rooms, bay windows
  Full-height shutters cover the entire window, offering a clean, symmetrical look. They’re ideal for maximizing privacy and light control—especially in street-facing rooms.

• Excellent insulation and noise reduction

  Café-Style Shutters
  Best for:Kitchens, dining rooms, ground-floor spaces
  Café-style shutters cover only the lower half of the window, leaving the top open for natural light. Inspired by continental cafés, they’re perfect for maintaining privacy while keeping your space bright.

• Stylish and informal

• Ideal for street-facing windows

• Pairs well with curtains or voiles

  Tier-on-Tier Shutters
  Best for: Versatile rooms, home offices, multi-use spaces
  Tier-on-tier shutters feature two independently opening panels—top and bottom—giving you total control over light and privacy.

• Open top, bottom, or both

• Great for changing light conditions
