How it's made
How café-style shutters work
Tap a number to see what each part does, and what you'll be choosing at your appointment.
1. Lower half only
Covers the bottom of the window: privacy at eye level from the street or the garden.
Your advisor brings samples of every option to your window, so you can see and feel them before you choose.
Why this range
What Elm 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
2 colourways to compare
Colour behaves differently in north light, in the evening and against your walls. Pick the ones you like here and your advisor brings those exact swatches to the visit.
03
Chosen for real rooms
Customers most often put this range in bay window shutters, bedroom shutters, kitchen & dining room shutters — which is a better guide than any spec sheet.
Style notes
What Elm is like, and where it works
Elm is a wood-grain shutter range in a warm honey tone, photographed here as a tier-on-tier style that lets the top and bottom sections open independently. The finish shows plenty of natural wood character, with visible grain running through each louvre, giving a solid, tailored look at the window.
A warm honey-toned wood grain with visible natural streaking, shown here as a tier-on-tier shutter with wide louvres and a matt, unlacquered-looking finish.

Ideas for your home
Made-to-measure shutters for a country-style bedroom
A bedroom with a upholstered headboard and soft neutral walls, where the tier-on-tier shutters allow light in at the top while keeping the lower half private.
The independent top and bottom sections suit a room where daylight and privacy need managing separately.
Made-to-measure shutters for a traditional kitchen or dining room
A kitchen or dining space with wooden furniture and warm tones, where the honey wood grain of the shutters echoes natural worktops and tables.
The solid wood-look louvres bring a tailored, traditional finish to a space with plenty of natural materials.
Made-to-measure shutters for a bay window in a living room
A bay window in a living room with classic proportions, where shaped or tier-on-tier shutters follow the window's lines closely.
The shaped and tier-on-tier options in this range are suited to bay and other non-standard window shapes.
- Available in tier-on-tier, full height, cafe style, shaped, solid and tracked door configurations, so the same wood tone can be used across different window shapes.
- Comes in two colourways, Default and Mantel, both within the warm wood-grain family shown in the photos.
- Shaped shutters make this range suitable for bay windows and other non-standard window shapes.
