Tap a number to see what each part does, and what you'll be choosing at your appointment.

Why this range
What Giraffes does well
01
Built as cafe style shutters
Cut and finished as cafe style shutters for your exact window, rather than trimmed down from a stock size. The mechanism is sized to the drop, so it hangs straight and stays that way.
02
Chosen for real rooms
Customers most often put this range in bathroom shutters, bay window shutters, bedroom shutters — which is a better guide than any spec sheet.
03
Measured and fitted by us
One team measures, makes and installs. If something isn't right, there's nobody to pass you on to — we come back and sort it.
Style notes
What Giraffes is like, and where it works
This is a full height, tier on tier shutter with wide louvres, photographed here in a warm off-white against a neutral bedroom. The range covers a wide span of shutter styles, from cafe style to shaped and tracked door versions, so the same look can be carried through different window shapes and doorways in one home.
A soft warm white shutter with wide horizontal louvres, shown here in a tier on tier arrangement so the top and bottom panels can be angled independently. The second image is a flat swatch in a muted taupe tone.

Ideas for your home
Made-to-measure shutters for a calm bedroom
A soft neutral bedroom with upholstered furniture and warm walls, where the shutter's wide louvres let in light while the tier on tier split gives control over privacy at eye level.
The tier on tier design lets the top panels stay open for daylight while the lower panels close for privacy.
Made-to-measure shutters for a bay window living room
A living room bay with mixed furniture styles, where full height shutter panels bring a tailored, uniform line across several window angles.
Shaped and full height options mean bay and angled windows can be fitted as one continuous look.
Made-to-measure shutters for a kitchen and dining space
A kitchen or dining window where a cafe style shutter covers only the lower half, keeping the top of the window clear for light while shielding the view from outside at worktop height.
The cafe style option covers just the lower section, useful where you want light above and privacy below.
- Available across several shutter formats, including cafe style, full height, shaped, tier on tier and tracked door shutters, so one range can suit a whole house.
- Suitable for bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms and living rooms, including bay windows.
- Comes in a single colour, Air, a warm off-white.
