Window dressing ideas for the living room

Are you thinking of updating your living room window treatments? You're probably deciding between shutters, blinds and curtains. Each of these three window treatments has their own benefits, but we're here to explain why shutters make an excellent choice for lounge window dressings.

Why choose window shutters for the lounge?

If you’ve walked along a Victorian terraced street in the UK, you’ve seen the impact window shutters can have on the front of a home. Lounge shutters do what curtains and blinds cannot - they add kerb appeal. In fact, studies show that they even increase the value of a property.

Plus, they look just as good on the inside as they do on the outside and can complete an interior look. We constantly get feedback from customers on how their shutters draw positive comments from visitors. It’s the California wow factor.

Which shutter styles best suit the lounge?

We always say that it depends on the size and style of your windows. Grand box bays or tall windows are ideally suited to full height, tier on tier or café style shutters.

Cafe style shutters can also work well on casement windows and sash windows or those with patterns or crittal framing, for example. If you’re going for something a bit more classical, solid shutters can evoke images of Bath or Edinburgh townhouses. Full height shutters are definitely the safest choice as they work well on most lounge windows.
