Find the shutter style that fits your windows and your way of living.

Shutter styles are all about layout: full height for a clean, timeless look, café style for daytime privacy, tier-on-tier for flexible top-and-bottom control, and tracked systems for wide openings like patio or bifold doors.

Your window type matters too. Bays and shaped windows often benefit from layouts designed to follow the frame neatly, while larger openings can use tracked panels so you can glide shutters to one side when you want the space fully open.

Once the style is chosen, the material choice is usually based on the room. Waterproof composite and aluminium work well in humid or high-traffic areas, while engineered wood ranges are ideal for living rooms and bedrooms where you want a traditional painted finish.

Details make a big difference: louvre size changes the feel of the room, and options like split tilt or a mid-rail can give you privacy at the bottom with daylight at the top. If you want a cleaner look, ask about hidden tilt mechanisms on selected ranges.

We recommend choosing a style by looking at real installations, then confirming the practicalities during a free home survey. We measure, check reveals, and advise on frames, clearance and opening direction so your shutters look great and work smoothly.

If you are upgrading multiple rooms, it is common to use one consistent style across the home and vary the material by room—for example waterproof composite in humid spaces and a wood-style finish elsewhere. This keeps the look cohesive while staying practical.

If you are torn between two styles, louvre size is a great tie-breaker. Wider louvres can feel more contemporary and let in more light when open, while smaller louvres can suit a more traditional look. We can show both options during a free survey.

For the cleanest fit, we will also help you choose the right frame option for each window (inside the reveal or face-fix). These details keep sightlines consistent and help the shutters feel like part of the architecture.

If you are not sure where to start, choose your favourite look, then let us confirm the best specification during a free home survey.

A good rule of thumb is to choose style first (how the shutters open), then choose the most practical material for the room. That keeps the look consistent while making sure humid or high-traffic areas get the right finish for long-term durability.

If you are deciding between two styles, we can show both layouts during your free survey and recommend the best option for your window type, handle clearances, and how overlooked the room is. This makes it much easier to choose with confidence.
