UNDERSTANDING PLANTATION SHUTTERS

The realm of plantation shutters presents a diverse array of options, each catering to specific preferences and requirements. Traditional plantation shutters, characterised by their enduring wide louvres bring a classic and ageless aesthetic to any space. Venturing beyond tradition, variations like Bermuda or Bahama, and fixed louvered shutters, introduce unique and distinctive visual elements. Bermuda shutters, featuring hinged louvred panels at the top, they enhance ventilation and contribute a specific charm, while louvered shutters, with fixed (non-adjustable) louvres, are suitable for exterior applications, with the shutter panels either open or closed.

The materials available for these shutters further broaden the scope of choice, ranging from the warm and timeless appeal of classic timber, to the sleek, contemporary allure of aluminium. Each material carries its own set of advantages, addressing factors like durability, moisture resistance, and cost considerations. Aluminium shutters, for instance, are recognised for their durability and security, while timber shutters exude warmth, style and natural beauty.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLOURS

Achieving the perfect colour scheme for plantation shutters requires a nuanced approach, finding a balance between harmonising with the overall colour palette and making intentional design choices. The shutter colours play a pivotal role – they can either seamlessly blend with your surrounding decor, ensuring a cohesive and unified look, or they can boldly stand out, becoming a focal point in their own right.

When making your choice, think about the agelessness of neutral tones, the bold statement of experimenting with vibrant hues for a modern twist, and a thoughtful consideration of how natural light interacts with the chosen colours within the space. Making informed and creative decisions will result in Plantation Shutters that complement and elevate the overall aesthetic of the room.

WINDOW TREATMENTS AND COMPLEMENTARY DECOR

The key to making window treatments and plantation shutters work together is to coordinate curtains, drapes, or valances effectively. When picking the right colour, consider using curtains that have a similar palette to the shutters. This helps maintain a cohesive look throughout the room.

You may opt for contrast to add drama and draw attention to the shutters. To elevate this visual appeal, mix different textures and patterns. For instance, pairing sheer curtains with wooden shutters creates a light and airy feel, while layering textured drapes adds a touch of luxury. The possibilities for creative expression are wide-ranging, offering practical ways to enhance the overall decor of the room and turn windows into subtle and classic features.

Plantation Shutters are locally crafted with the very best quality materials, providing you with lasting elegance, style and peace of mind.
