Plantation Shutters: Shutters for Unusual Shaped Windows

If you have just moved into a new home and have your heart set on plantation shutters, you may discover that not all the windows in your property have a traditional, rectangular design. Once your new property is stripped bare of the previous occupants belongings, you may discover it has some unusual shaped windows - and this may not have been obvious to you at the initial viewing.

Some properties have unusual features such as half circle or full circle windows, hexagon shaped windows - or even triangles - and any of these will add great character to your interior. However, if you have odd shaped windows, you may wonder what type of window coverings to choose - and you may think plantation shutters are not possible in these circumstances.

If you have tricky shaped windows, here we shall look at the various options available via The Bespoke Shutter Company and what sort of plantation shutters would be suitable for these types of windows.

Plantation Shutters: Solutions for Odd Shaped Windows

If you have odd shaped windows in your home, you may think of ruling out plantation shutters as an option. However, the good news is that, so far, our experts at The Bespoke Shutter Company have never come across a type of window where shutters can’t be fitted. We supply and install made-to-measure shutters to suit every type of window, so every homeowner can discover the beauty and benefits of plantation shutters.

At The Bespoke Shutter Company we do exactly what our name implies - we supply and fit shutters for all types of windows. So whether you have a rectangular shaped window above the landing, a hexagonal window in the hallway, octagon, round windows, quarter round windows, arch shaped windows, half round, elongated half round windows or windows in the shape of a triangle, we install attractive and affordable shutters designed to fit your window perfectly.

Although many unusually shaped windows are positioned high up, above an entrance hall, corridor, hallway, or landing, this is not always the case. You may have an odd shaped window in a position where you would feel too exposed if it was left uncovered all the time (in a bedroom, bathroom or living room for instance). Plantation shutters are a great option in these circumstances as the slats can be adjusted to let the light stream in, while still maintaining privacy.

Plantation Shutters for Half or Quarter Round Windows

Shutters can also be used to draw attention to an interesting shaped window and will make a feature of its design.  For half round windows, eyebrow windows, elongated half round and quarter round windows, for instance, the louvres within the shutters look just like rays of the sun, bursting out of the centre. The overall effect is extremely appealing and is bound to become a talking point.

Plantation Shutters for Porthole Windows

The slats for shutters designed to fit circular, hexagonal, and octagonal porthole windows are horizontal. However, they make an interesting conversation piece and make a stunning feature of your interior.

Plantation Shutters for Conservatories

If you have a conservatory with a roof top that rises to a pinnacle in the centre, you may be left with a triangular shaped window at the top. However, there are window shutters to fit these, so you can still use your shutters to keep the conservatory cool in summer and stop heat escaping in the winter months.

Plantation Shutters for Arched Windows

Plantation shutters can be made and fitted for arched windows in a variety of ways. One is the two piece arrangements, which opens to the left and right. Another option is having a left vertical shutter, a right vertical and a sunburst or half round at the top. Just talk over the various options with your fitter to find the right one for you.

Motor Driven Shutters

Motor driven shutters provide the ideal solution for windows that are hard to reach, as the shutters can open and close at the touch of a button. They operate smoothly and quietly and are perfect for all areas of the home, including hallways, landings and conservatory areas. They are suitable for odd shaped windows, or the apex of windows, and are a much safer option as you don’t have to stand on the furniture to reach up and manually open or close your shutters.
