Why Choose Wooden Shutters?

Wooden shutters bring timeless elegance to any home. More than just a window covering, they’re a long-term investment that adds style, privacy, and value. Whether you prefer classic charm or a more contemporary feel, wood shutters offer:

  • Natural beauty – The warmth and texture of real wood.

  • Light control – Adjustable louvres let you filter light exactly how you want it.

  • Privacy and security – Tilt the slats for privacy without losing natural daylight.

  • Insulation – Helps keep rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

  • Durability – With proper care, wooden shutters can last for decades.

  • Kerb side appeal – Instantly boosts your home’s exterior charm, making it look more stylish and welcoming from the outside.

What Styles Do Wooden Shutters Come In?

Full Height Shutters
Cover the whole window or door from top to bottom for a clean, elegant look. Our most popular style!

 

 

Tier-on-Tier Shutters
Two separate panels, top and bottom, that work independently. Great for spaces where you want maximum control over light and privacy.

 

 

Café Style Shutters
Cover just the bottom half of the window. Perfect for street-facing rooms, letting in plenty of light while keeping privacy.

 

 

Solid Panel Shutters
Instead of slats, these feature solid wood panels. They block out light completely and offer a classic, traditional look.

 

What colours and finishes do wooden shutters come in?

Your shutters can be customised to match your interior style:

  • Painted – Crisp whites, creams, greys for a fresh, timeless feel.

  • Stained – Show off the natural wood grain with rich, warm oak tones.
