Shutters
Bedroom shutters, made to measure
Shutters are the one window covering that becomes part of the building. Frames are templated to your openings — including the bays, arches and angles that defeat a blind — then built in hardwood or waterproof faux wood, finished in the colour you choose and hung by a shutter fitter rather than a general installer.

Start with the style
Six ways to shutter a window
The style decides how much of the window you can open independently, and how much light you keep when the louvres are closed. Pick one to filter the ranges below.
Full-height
One run of louvres from sill to head. The cleanest look, and the style most modern windows end up with.
Café-style
Louvres across the bottom half only. Privacy from the pavement while the top of the window carries on doing its job.
Tier-on-tier
Two independent sets of panels. Open the top for light, keep the bottom closed — the usual answer for a front room on a street.
Shaped
Arches, angles, gable ends and bay returns, templated to the opening rather than squeezed into a rectangle.
Solid panel
Raised panels instead of louvres. Period rooms, box sashes, and the darkest thing we make for a window.
Tracked door
Panels that slide and stack along a track — for wide patio runs, bi-folds and open-plan room dividers.

Explained
Bedroom shutters, explained
Bedroom shutters are hard panels fitted to the window, with louvres you tilt for light and privacy. In a bedroom they give a quieter, more settled look than fabric blinds, and because there are no hanging cords they keep the window area neat. This filter mainly shows painted and wood-grain shutter finishes across full-height, café, shaped and solid styles, with some examples shown tier-on-tier in the imagery. For bedrooms, full-height and tier-on-tier arrangements are usually the ones people start with, depending on how much privacy and separate top-to-bottom control they want.
Bedroom shutters suit calm, ordered interiors: painted whites and stone tones for a lighter scheme, or deeper wood-grain and charcoal finishes for a more grounded, classic feel.
Best for
- Bedrooms where you want privacy without closing the window off completely
- A cleaner, more architectural look than fabric blinds or curtains alone
- Bay windows and shaped openings where a made-to-measure fit matters
- Homes with children where avoiding hanging cords is a priority
Worth knowing
- Solid panel shutters block more light when shut than louvred styles, so think about how bright you like the room in the morning
- Darker painted or wood-grain finishes can feel heavier in smaller bedrooms
- If access around the bed or furniture is tight, ask your advisor to confirm the best panel layout on the day
How to choose
- 1
Pick the panel style first
Full-height shutters suit most bedroom windows and give a simple, tidy look. Café style leaves the top of the glass clear but is less common for bedrooms. If the window is arched or angled, shaped shutters may be the answer. Your advisor will confirm what works for the opening.
- 2
Think about light and privacy together
Louvred shutters let you angle the slats for privacy while still admitting light. If you want separate control at the top and bottom, ask about a split arrangement such as tier-on-tier, which many people like in bedrooms for morning light and evening privacy.
- 3
Choose the finish to suit the room
This filter includes soft whites, warmer neutrals, colour-painted finishes and deeper wood-grain looks. Pale painted shutters keep the room feeling lighter; richer browns and charcoals read as weightier and more traditional. Hold samples in the bedroom itself to judge them properly.
Bedroom shutters: questions people ask
Are shutters a good choice for bedroom privacy?
Yes. The louvres can be angled to limit overlooking while still letting in some daylight, which is why many people like shutters in bedrooms. If privacy matters both day and night, full-height shutters are usually the first option to look at, though your advisor can talk through the best layout for the window.
What shutter style is most common in a bedroom?
Full-height shutters are usually the starting point because they cover the whole opening and give a neat, fitted look. Some bedroom displays are shown with a split arrangement in the images, which suits people who want more control over the top and bottom sections. Your advisor will measure each opening and advise.
Can I still have curtains with bedroom shutters?
Often, yes. Some people use shutters on their own for a cleaner finish, while others add curtains outside the reveal to soften the room and help with light control. It depends on the depth around the window and the look you want, so your advisor can confirm the practical options on the day.
Do shutters work on bay bedroom windows?
They can do, and this filter includes ranges tagged for bay windows as well as bedrooms. Because each section of a bay is measured on its own, the fit is tailored to the shape you have rather than treated as one flat span. Your advisor will measure every opening themselves for the order.
Which finishes in this filter suit a smaller bedroom?
Lighter painted finishes usually keep a smaller bedroom feeling more open, especially whites, soft off-whites and pale neutrals. Darker browns, charcoals and stronger colours can look smarter and more pronounced, but they do bring more visual weight. Samples held against your own window are the sensible way to compare them.

Why our shutter service is right for you
01
Surveyed before anything is ordered
A shutter frame has to sit square in an opening that almost never is. We survey the window properly, record where it runs out, and build the frame to the opening you actually have.
02
Louvre width changes everything
A wider louvre means fewer blades across the window and more glass when they are open. A narrower one reads finer and more traditional. Both are worth seeing at full size before you commit.
03
Material matched to the room
Hardwood for living rooms and bays. Faux wood or waterproof ABS for bathrooms and en-suites, where steam would eventually move real timber and lift a painted finish.
04
Fitted, adjusted and guaranteed
Our own fitter hangs the panels, sets the tension so the louvres hold their angle, and covers the frame, louvres and finish under our 1-year guarantee.
Finance options available. We offer flexible ways to pay so a whole-house refresh doesn't have to land in one go. Your advisor will talk you through what's available at your appointment.
Ask an advisorWorth knowing
What actually decides the price
Shutters are quoted by the opening, not by the metre, and three things move the number more than the fabric of the room ever will.
Material
Engineered and faux wood sit at the accessible end and cope with damp rooms. Hardwood costs more, takes a finer paint finish and allows wider panels without a mid-rail across the middle of the view.
Shape of the opening
A square reveal is straightforward. A splayed bay, an arch or a gable end has to be templated on site and built as a set, which is where the survey earns its keep — get it wrong and the frame simply will not close.
How it opens
Full-height panels are the simplest build. Tier-on-tier doubles the number of hinged panels and frames, and a tracked run adds the track and carriers, so both sit above a like-for-like full-height quote.

If shutters are not quite right
Shutters are a permanent change to the opening and are priced accordingly. On some windows a blind does the same job better — your advisor will say so rather than sell you a frame you do not need.
Shutters: your questions answered
Styles, materials, how shutters compare with blinds and what fitting day looks like.
What shutter styles are there?
Full height covers the whole window in one or more panels. Café style covers the bottom half only, so you keep privacy at street level and light above. Tier-on-tier splits into independent top and bottom panels, so you can open one and keep the other closed. Shaped panels follow arched, angled and gable windows.
Why choose shutters over blinds?
Shutters are fitted furniture rather than a soft covering: they follow the reveal, add insulation and security, need no cords, and are the usual choice in conservation streets and period properties where a blind would hang in front of a frame worth showing.
Which shutter material should I pick?
Hardwood for the finest grain and the largest panels. Engineered wood for stability at a lower price. Waterproof ABS or vinyl for bathrooms and wet rooms. Your advisor matches the material to the room and the span.
How long do shutters take to fit?
A shutter installation takes longer than a blind because each frame is fixed and levelled to the opening — a typical room is a morning's work. Your fitter tidies and takes the packaging away when they are done.
What is the difference between a recess fit and a face fit?
A recess fit sits inside the window opening, so the frame and reveal stay visible and the blind looks built in. A face fit is mounted on the wall or frame outside the opening, which covers the frame completely, blocks more light at the edges and suits shallow reveals. Your advisor holds both against the wall so you can see the difference before choosing.
What guarantee do I get?
A 1-year guarantee on every blind, shutter and motor we supply and fit. If something goes wrong inside that period, ring the office and we come back out.
