Plantation Shutters for a Richmond Family Home Posted on 1 Oct 15:04 , 0 comments
We recently installed plantation shutters for a family in their Richmond Period Property. The couple came to us looking for suitable window dressings for their living room and their two children's bedrooms.
Living Room: Cafe style Shutters
With a stunning large Bay in their family living room, they had lots of shutter options to consider but wanted to ensure that the window remained the crowning feature of the room. An essential criteria for them was maintaining maximum light but also the privacy required living in a residential area of Richmond.
Cafe Style Shutters were chosen as the best option for this room, it means that privacy is provided by covering the lower window panels but by covering just the lower part of the window maximum light could still come in from the windows above.
Children's Bedroom: Shutters and Blackout Blinds
For the children’s bedrooms, where one of the primary areas of importance was providing darkness for much needed sleep all round, they chose full height shutters but also selected our integrated black out blinds This is one of most popular shutter styles for children’s bedrooms. This solution ensures maximum black out and minimal noise to the room at any time of the day.
Choice of Shutter material
The Shutters for all the rooms were selected from our Cuba range. Cuba shutters are our entry-level hardwood shutter option that is made up of a robust MDF frame and real hardwood shutter: a cost-efficient entry-level hardwood shutter option.
The finished installed shutters look great! They are a perfect contemporary look for a family home which requires practical and functional window dressings.

This article remains at its original URL as part of our complete journal archive. Its subject connects to the same specialist guidance our surveyors provide today: considering the window proportions, room, privacy requirements, light and the right product material before confirming a design.
A considered approach
Shutters are made to order, so good decisions begin with careful measuring and a clear understanding of how the room is used. Full height, café style and tier-on-tier panels each manage light and privacy differently, while bay windows, special shapes and wide openings need their own design response.
Our team can show you the current range of materials, colours, louvre sizes and hardware during a free home survey.
For confident DIY customers, selected shutter styles can also be measured and configured online. More complex bay, shaped and tracked installations are best discussed with our professional measure-and-fit team.
