Plantation Shutter Styles: Which Style Suits Your Home?
The right plantation shutter style depends on your window shape, the level of privacy you want, and how you use the room. This practical guide explains the main made-to-measure styles available across Hampshire and Berkshire.
Full Height Shutters
Full height shutters cover the complete window and are a versatile choice for bedrooms, living rooms and street-facing spaces. They give a clean, built-in finish, let you adjust light with the louvres, and can be divided with a mid-rail so the top and bottom sections can be controlled separately.
Café Style Shutters
Café style shutters cover the lower part of a window. They are ideal where privacy matters at street level but you still want daylight and a clear view through the top of the window. They are especially popular in kitchens, dining rooms and period properties.
Tier-on-Tier Shutters
Tier-on-tier shutters have independently opening upper and lower panels. This makes them a flexible option for rooms that need privacy during the day without sacrificing natural light. You can keep the lower panels closed and open the upper panels whenever you want more light or ventilation.
Bay Window, Solid Panel and Blackout Options
Bay window shutters are measured panel by panel to follow each angle precisely. Solid panel shutters suit properties where insulation and a traditional look are priorities. Blackout options are designed for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms where reducing external light is important.
