Fill Every Room of Your Home with Made to Measure Shutters

If you’re thinking about upgrading your home’s interior, one feature that instantly adds style, comfort and practicality is, made to measure shutters. These shutters go beyond typical window coverings by offering a tailored solution that suits your lifestyle and complements every room, from the hallway to the kitchen.

Here’s how you can use shutters to transform your home, one space at a time.

1. Living room: light control meets kerb appeal

Your living room is where you relax, entertain guests, and enjoy family time. It deserves window treatments that look the part and work hard in the background.

Why shutters work here:

  • Adjust natural light with precision
  • Improve insulation and reduce external noise
  • Add timeless style that boosts kerb appeal

With made to measure shutters, you can fine-tune the atmosphere throughout the day. Bright and airy for mornings, soft and shaded for movie nights. Plus, they add curb-side appeal by framing your windows with clean, architectural lines that elevate your home’s exterior.

For bay windows, French doors, or large feature windows, shutters provide both practicality and elegance. They’re also easy to keep clean and free of dust, making them ideal for allergy sufferers.

2. Kitchen: practical and stylish

The kitchen is a high-traffic, high-humidity area. Shutters not only bring structure and style, but they also stand up to daily wear and tear.

Best features for kitchens:

  • Easy to wipe clean
  • Moisture-resistant materials available
  • Custom fit to tricky window shapes or splash zones

Choose café-style shutters for light above and privacy below, or full-height options for a clean, consistent look. With a tailored fit, your shutters will avoid interference with appliances or cabinetry.

3. Bedroom: blackout and privacy combined

In your bedroom, comfort is everything. Shutters can create a peaceful, private space that helps you unwind and sleep well.

Ideal for:

  • Blocking out early morning light
  • Reducing outside noise
  • Adding warmth and calm to the room

Choose full-height or tier-on-tier designs for the perfect balance of light control and airflow. For even more comfort, pair with blackout blinds fitted behind your shutters.

Custom shutters in a soft, muted colour can also enhance your bedroom’s atmosphere, creating a restful tone that supports better sleep. And because shutters don’t collect dust like fabric window treatments, your bedroom stays fresher for longer.

4. Bathroom: control light without compromising privacy

Bathrooms need practical, durable solutions but that doesn’t mean compromising on design.

Why they’re a great choice:

  • Maintain privacy while still letting in natural light
  • Use waterproof materials to resist moisture
  • Clean easily with a damp cloth

Made to measure shutters give bathrooms a polished, clean finish that standard blinds or curtains struggle to match. They suit frosted glass and uniquely shaped bathroom windows that need tailored solutions. We offer PVC or ABS shutter options so you can count on durability that lasts.

5. Nursery or children’s room: safe and soothing

Children’s rooms need to be safe, calm, and easy to maintain. Shutters tick every box.

Key benefits:

  • Cordless operation for added safety
  • Excellent light control for nap time
  • Durable finish for everyday messes

Tailored shutters can grow with your child, stylish enough for a nursery, yet timeless for a teenager’s room. You can also choose blackout integration for a better sleeping environment and a quieter room, helping children rest during the day or sleep soundly through the night.

6. Hallways and landings: small touches, big impact

These often-forgotten spaces deserve some love. Shutters add visual interest and help manage light from side or stairwell windows.

What they bring:

  • Subtle design continuity across floors
  • A strong visual presence in overlooked spaces
  • Easy maintenance in narrow areas

They also help reduce fading of hallway furniture or flooring by managing direct sunlight. In properties with large staircases or loft conversions, made to measure shutters help bring cohesion and polish to transitional spaces.

Energy savings, timeless looks, and long-term value

Investing in measured shutters offers more than comfort and style. These shutters can lower your energy bills by helping regulate room temperature year-round. During colder months, they act as a barrier to heat loss, while in summer they help keep your home cool by blocking direct sunlight.

Their timeless appearance also adds to your home’s long-term value. Unlike fabric blinds that date or wear quickly, shutters offer a classic, lasting look. They suit contemporary builds and character homes alike, tying together your interior design with minimal effort.

From sash windows in period properties to modern glazing in extensions, our expert carpenters at Riverside Shutters ensure a seamless fit. Every set is tailored, installed, and quality checked with pride.
