How to Choose the Right Shutter Style for Each Room

When it comes to dressing your windows, choosing the right shutter style is essential not only for aesthetics but also for functionality. Every room in your home serves a different purpose, and your choice of shutters should reflect that.

Living Room:
Full height shutters are ideal for living spaces where light and privacy are both important. These shutters offer a clean, elegant look while still allowing light control. If your living room faces the street, café style shutters can offer privacy at the bottom while letting sunlight in from the top.

Kitchen:
Kitchens benefit from tier-on-tier shutters as they give you flexible control over ventilation and light. This is perfect for homes where the kitchen is the heart of the house and needs both airflow and style.

Bedroom:
For bedrooms, light control and privacy are key. Solid shutters are a timeless option for creating a peaceful, darkened space. Alternatively, full-height shutters with blackout options can also be considered.

Bathroom:
In moisture-prone areas, faux wood shutters are an excellent choice. They resist warping and peeling while maintaining the look of real wood. Their durability makes them perfect for steamy environments.

Home Office:
Light control is vital for working from home. Tier-on-tier shutters give you full flexibility to block glare on screens while allowing in ambient light.

Ultimately, choosing the right shutter style comes down to understanding the needs of each room. At Shutter Up Your Place, we offer a wide range of bespoke options to match every home and lifestyle.
