Bedroom Shutters

Louvred shutters block most direct light when closed but some light still passes between the louvres and around the frame. For many bedrooms this is enough. For shift workers, light-sensitive sleepers, or nurseries, pair the shutter with a blackout liner or blind inside the reveal.

Yes. The shutter itself has no dangling cords or chains. The louvres tilt with a small rod or hidden mechanism, and the panels open from the edge. If a blackout blind is fitted behind the shutter, we specify the blind with the correct child-safety devices.

Yes, very commonly. The shutter sits inside the window reveal, the curtain pole sits above and around it as normal. The shutter handles light control and privacy through the day; the curtain adds warmth and visual softness in the evening.

No. Shutters mount inside the reveal of the window itself - they do not encroach on the room. When the louvres are open and the panels are tilted flat, the window looks larger if anything because the entire frame reads as part of the architecture.

A blackout liner is a slim blind fitted behind a louvred shutter. The shutter looks normal during the day, and the liner pulls down at night. Solid panel shutters have no louvres, so the panel itself gives the darkness and privacy. Solid panels are more traditional and more architectural, but you lose the fine daytime light control of louvres.
