Custom Made Café Style Shutters

Café style shutters deliver additional privacy without covering the entire window. An ideal way to keep your home bright and open. Starting from the bottom, they rise to the point that affords sufficient privacy (generally the mid-rail of your window).

This design will also complement your current curtains or blinds. Café style shutters are ideal for street-level living spaces giving privacy from the outside world, but without compromising on natural light.

Our made to measure service enables you to choose exactly how much of your window your café style shutters cover.

Advantages of Café-Style Shutters:

Privacy Without Sacrificing Light 

By covering only the lower portion of the window, café-style shutters provide privacy from passersby while allowing ample natural light to brighten your space. This balance creates a welcoming and open atmosphere in your home. ​

Versatility in Design

These shutters are highly adaptable, complementing various interior styles, from traditional to contemporary. They are particularly effective for street-facing rooms such as living areas, kitchens, or studies, offering both aesthetic appeal and functionality. ​

Cost-Effective Solution

Since café-style shutters cover only a portion of the window, they require less material, often making them a more affordable option compared to full-height shutters. This cost-effectiveness allows homeowners to enjoy the benefits of shutters without a significant investment. ​

 
 

Practical and efficient:

 Enhanced Energy Efficiency

By acting as an additional layer of insulation, these shutters help maintain indoor temperatures, keeping rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This improved energy efficiency can lead to potential savings on heating and cooling costs. ​

Easy Maintenance

Constructed from durable materials, café-style shutters are simple to clean and require minimal upkeep. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is typically sufficient to keep them looking their best, making them a practical choice for busy households. ​

 

Incorporating café-style shutters into your home not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also offers practical benefits that contribute to a comfortable and energy-efficient living environment. Their unique design and functionality make them a worthwhile consideration for any homeowner looking to improve both style and practicality.​

Our Luxury Hardwood shutters are smooth and strong and are made from 100% Basswood. This lightweight material provides considerable flexibility to fit virtually any design to any window.
