21st Century Homes – Innovative Shutter Designs

Although plantation shutters and solid wood shutters have been used worldwide for centuries, it is only in relatively recent years that more innovative designs have become available. The choice of colours and materials offered by The Bespoke Shutter Company means that we can create individually designed wooden window coverings to match the style of your home. Read on to find out more about how our bespoke shutters work for any interior.

Plantation Shutters – 5 Ways to Bring Individuality to Your home

Coloured Shutters – Whether you are looking to install adjustable shutters (otherwise known as plantation shutters) or solid shutters, you can have any colour you choose: white, off-white, green, grey, black, red, pink, blue or yellow – only your imagination is the limit!  Although some shutters have limited colour options, most of our shutters give you the chance to choose your own shade which could be a blend of colours. So, if you have a particular paint in mind, we can create an almost exact match with our hardy, UV and heat resistant spray lacquers.

Shaped Shutters – Not all homes and businesses have square or rectangular windows. You may have round windows, half round windows, arches, or even triangular and hexagonal shaped designs. It is possible to create shutters for any shape of window – and to date, we haven’t found a window that we’ve been unable to fit. Our designs are as unique as your home, and means you can maintain your privacy whatever your style of window.

Motorised Shutters – Opening and closing your shutters manually is not always practical, especially if you have a high window which is beyond reach, for example in a hallway or on a landing. Thanks to advances in technology, motorised shutters allow you to operate your shutters safely with a remote control, so you can let the light filter into your home at any time of day.     

Wooden, Engineered or Waterproof Shutters – Advances in materials are being made all the time and at Bespoke Shutters we offer shutter options to suit any home and budget. Our hardwood shutter materials include stunning Cedar wood, and the popular competitively priced Basswood. We also supply and install engineered shutters (not available in the tier-on-tier design), waterproof shutters for bathrooms and swimming pools, and a full range of made-to-measure conservatory shutters.

Made-to-Measure Shutters – Our choice of shutters doesn't end there. We also offer a range of hinges, slat or louvre sizes, and tilt rods. Louvres on plantation shutters help vary the light levels and you can choose any size to suit your home, from small to medium-sized and large louvres. Our experienced fitters will take the exact measurements of your windows to ensure that your shutters are a precise fit, so they will open and close with ease. Our shutters are individually made, so once your order is confirmed, you can usually expect around a six week wait for delivery and instalment.
