Living Room Shutters

Choosing shutters for a living room shutters comes down to how you want to use the space day to day—privacy, glare control, insulation, and how easy the finish is to maintain.

Start with the practicalities. If the room gets steamy or needs frequent wiping, choose a moisture-resistant material such as waterproof composite or aluminium. For calmer, lower humidity spaces, engineered wood and composite ranges offer a classic painted finish and excellent light control.

Think about how you want the shutters to work at different times of day. Options like split tilt, a mid-rail, or tiered panels let you keep the lower section private while still letting daylight in at the top—ideal for street-facing rooms.

We always measure on-site so the frames sit neatly within the reveal (or on the wall if needed), then tailor louvre sizes and panel splits to your window layout. That means you get a clean fit that looks intentional and performs well long term.

A good fit also helps with comfort. Made-to-measure frames can reduce draughts around the window, while the adjustable louvres help control glare on screens and reduce harsh sunlight during warmer months.

Shutters are simple to look after: dust with a soft cloth, or wipe with a slightly damp cloth on appropriate materials. With no cords, they are also a popular option for family homes and spaces where you want a neat finish.

If your room has more than one window, we can align panels and mid-rails so the shutters feel consistent across the space. We will also advise on louvre size so the proportions suit the scale of the room.

A free survey also helps us check the practical details that affect daily use: handle clearances, radiator placement, and how far panels need to open. That way the shutters look tidy and function comfortably in the space.

If you are comparing layouts, we can demonstrate options such as café, full height, tier-on-tier and split tilt so you can see how privacy and daylight change as the shutters move. The right layout often depends on how overlooked the window is and where you want the daylight.

Once measured, we manufacture the shutters to size and schedule fitting at a convenient time. After installation we run through operation and care, and you have aftercare support if you ever need help.

If you are still deciding, start with the windows you use most. A single survey can cover multiple rooms, and we can help you prioritise the spaces where privacy and light control will make the biggest difference.

If you are planning shutters across more than one room, we can help you keep louvre sizes and finishes consistent throughout your home. Where needed, we can recommend different materials by room to keep bathrooms and kitchens moisture-resistant without changing the overall look.

During your survey we will also confirm the best frame option and opening direction for your windows so the shutters feel comfortable to use. This helps keep sightlines tidy and ensures panels open neatly around handles, radiators and furniture.
