Curtains in kitchens aren’t the brightest idea.
Grease, dirt and dust are all magnets for fabric. Shutters, on the other hand, are a safe and practical solution for kitchen windows and glass doors. They not only look clean, they stay clean. What’s more, you’ll be able to make your morning cuppa with passers-by peeking in.
Our shutters can be made to fit most types of kitchen doors, too. Bi-folds. French. Sliding. Custom made with a unique track system, the shutters can fold back fully or slide open to suit your style of door.

Are shutters suitable for kitchens?
While not the most traditional choice, shutters can be fantastic for kitchens, offering a unique blend of style, practicality, and functionality. But there are a few things to consider before whipping up a batch of shuttered windows in your culinary haven.
Here’s the scoop:
Which shutter is best for the kitchen?
Here’s the shortlist:
Café-style shutters are particularly popular for kitchens, allowing light control and privacy while keeping the lower half easily accessible for cleaning.
Can you put shutters on a kitchen window?
Absolutely! As long as you choose the right material and consider placement near potential splash zones, shutters can enhance your kitchen’s functionality and style.
What are kitchen shutters?
They’re basically shutters specifically designed for kitchen environments, with materials and features that withstand the heat, humidity, and occasional splatter that comes with culinary adventures.
Remember, careful planning and material selection are key to enjoying the benefits of shutters in your kitchen. Embrace the light, ventilation, and style they offer, and cook up a winning combination of functionality and elegance in your culinary haven!
Bonus tip: Consider pairing shutters with blinds or roller shades for extra blackout potential and easier cleaning in case of major splatters.

The safe and practical alternative to curtains and other window coverings, our premium quality kitchen shutters are made to measure and they are also easy to clean.
When choosing a plantation shutter for the kitchen, the choice of materials that the blind is constructed from can make a huge difference in terms of performance. The team at Riverside Shutters personally recommend using our Lancaster product range which is built from MDF. This exhibits superior strength and can simply be wiped with a damp cloth or a feather duster for cleaning purposes.
Whether you are looking for a contemporary window cover for your kitchen at home, or you run a restaurant, a bed and breakfast or a gym, our custom made plantation shutters can be built to fit any shape, size or style of window.

One of the most popular choices for those looking to enhance the overall look of their kitchen interior design scheme with our plantation shutters for doors and windows is the full height style shutter. They cover the entire height of the door or window where they are fitted and can also be left open or closed at either side, independently.
Another option is the café style shutter, which only covers the bottom half of the window. Although this leaves the top half of the door or window without a shutter, the look is becoming increasingly more commonplace and is currently en vogue with many home and kitchen owners.
Somewhere between the two is the tier on tier shutter system. This consists of two blinds, stacked on top of each other. This allows you to close the shutters on the lower or upper half of the window separately, or leave all the entire window blind fully opened or closed.
