Contrast textures for a boutique look

The great thing about pairing shutters with curtains is the contrast in textures it brings to your windows.

The sleek lines of wooden shutters work in harmony with the soft folds of curtain fabric, helping to create a boutique vibe in your home.

Shutters and curtains for a tranquil haven

Combining plantation shutters with curtains has a number of benefits no matter what room you’re in – increased privacy, energy efficiency, great looks and more. But make this pairing in the bedroom and you’ll also enjoy a better night’s sleep.

Shutters can help minimise the amount of unwanted noise coming through your windows, so they are a great choice if your window overlooks a street or busy road. We’ve chosen a sheer white Voile curtain to complement the striking custom colour shutters in this bedroom, creating a relaxed and romantic feel.

The ultimate pairing for energy efficiency

Both shutters and curtains are excellent at preventing draughts and keeping the heat in the room with you. Doubling up at the window will stop unwanted chills in their tracks and allow you to maintain a cosy temperature all year round.

Thermal lined curtains layered over shutters is the ultimate combination, and is especially ideal for single-glazed windows in period properties.
