With an interior design background, our competitive edge is evident throughout every installation.
Crisp white shutters are one of the most popular choices of colour when it comes to shutters.
But to achieve a truly bespoke look, we offer a wealth of alternatives.
From soft painted hues to warm natural stains.
Plantation shutters provide the perfect opportunity to enhance the appearance of your home.
Not only the interior, but the exterior too.
Many of the larger shutter companies will fail to highlight this fact.
White shutters offer a clean, fresh finish that works with virtually any interior design scheme.
They maximise light, make rooms feel brighter and more spacious, and blend seamlessly with modern and traditional homes alike.
From the outside elevation, white shutters also look elegant and understated, sitting comfortably with most window frames.
Yet, while white is versatile, it’s by no means the only option worth considering.
In fact, considering colour or stain can transform the way your shutters interact with your home, both inside and out.
Modern shutters can be finished in an extensive palette of painted colours, giving you the freedom to match, contrast, or complement your décor.
Soft greys and creams are becoming increasingly popular and provide a neutral alternative to white.
These tones add warmth and depth, while remaining subtle enough to blend with a wide range of interiors.
For a bolder statement, deeper shades such as charcoal or even black can work beautifully, especially when paired with contrasting detail on hinges.
When viewed from outside, these colours are less visible on the elevation and blend harmoniously with darker window frames, brickwork, and cladding.
Another benefit of painted shutters is their ability to tie into specific decorative schemes.
Whether you favour Scandi simplicity, country charm, or contemporary minimalism, painted finishes can be chosen to mirror your overall style, helping to create flow between each element of your interior.
Stain finishes allow the natural grain of the wood to shine through.
From pale oak and honey tones to richer walnut and mahogany shades, stains add warmth and texture that painted shutters can’t replicate.
Lighter stains are ideal for creating a relaxed, airy feel that works especially well in coastal or rustic interiors.
Darker stains exude luxury and depth, perfect for traditional properties or rooms with rich, layered décor.
Stained shutters look superb from the outside, complementing natural building materials. Especially stone and timber.
An important factor to remember is that shutters are visible from both sides of the glass.
The colour you choose will not only affect the mood inside your home but also the appearance of your property from the outside.
A well-chosen finish can harmonise with your window frames and exterior palette.
While simultaneously enhancing your interior design.
With so many colours and finishes available, the key is to consider the home as a whole.
Think about how shutters will work with your existing décor, your window frames, and the surrounding architecture.
White may be the go-to option. But exploring painted and stained finishes can offer exciting possibilities!
