Shutter styles for unique window shapes Posted on 25 Nov 18:06 , 0 comments

For unique shaped windows, selecting the right shutter style can enhance both functionality and aesthetics of the window. We also strongly believe that unique shaped windows should be celebrated and framed rather than covered up. We have installed shutters on many different types of unique window over the years and in most cases shutters really can be installed on any window! By design our shutters are all custom made or made to measure, so they are unique to every window – therefore ideal for unique windows!

Here are the best options for you to consider in terms of style for Unique Windows:

Shaped Shutters: For truly unique windows (e.g., circular, triangular or even irregular shaped), custom shutters designed to fit the exact shape are ideal.

Using our premium hardwood the panels can be precision cut to exactly the shape of your window. Our shaped shutters are available in a wide range of colours and stains to suit your interiors and can also be created in a custom colour.

Bi-Fold Shutters: Suitable for larger or wide unique windows or doors, bi-fold shutters can be opened fully to access the entire window space.

Again we would recommend our premium hardwood range Fiji. Fiji shutters are lightweight so can be fitted as track shutters offering a wonderful shutter solution.

In terms of the look, you can consider both our louvrered shutters (often referred to as Plantation Shutters) or our Solid Panel Shutters. Louvered Shutters are adaptable and functional and can be custom-fitted to a variety of shaped windows while allowing for ventilation and light adjustment.

Solid Panel Shutters, often seen to be more traditional in aesthetic, provide complete coverage and can be crafted to fit odd-shaped windows, offering both privacy and insulation.

When choosing shutters for unique shaped windows, one of the key things to think about is functionality, so Think about operation ease—how you want to open, close, or adjust the shutters for light and privacy. Do you need to access the window behind and open and close the window? Is there a window handle to consider?

The Shutter Shop has spent more than 35 years helping homeowners find made-to-measure window treatments that work with the character and practical needs of their homes.

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.
