Choose a material

Interior window shutters are made of plastic, aluminium, engineered wood or hardwood. Each of these has its pros and cons so it is best to compare all the advantages and disadvantages of each to find the best interior window shutters for your home.

Define the required functions

The type of material you end up choosing will greatly depend on the function(s) you want your interior window shutters to fulfil. Do you require additional security or do you only want to manage light in a room? Do you need the shutters for privacy? What about insulation? Shutters can perform all of these functions and more, depending on the material and whether it is full-height shutters or not.

Choose a style

From cafe-style interior window shutters that only cover the bottom half of windows to streamlined plantation shutters and solid wood shutters, there are different styles of shutters on offer. Choose the type that best suits your needs and decor style.

Decide on a colour

Today, interior window shutters are available in a wide range of colours, from natural wood hues to contemporary earthy colours tones such as white, light grey and beige, as well as custom colour options. This means you can choose a colour that compliments your interior to a T.
