Shutters are a stylish alternative when you are choosing window treatments


If you are looking for an alternative to curtains or traditional Roman or Venetian blinds, then window shutters can be a good solution.
Shutters offer timeless elegance while suiting all styles of property, and custom-made shutters from Drapes by Design can be made to fit all types of windows and doors - even tricky spaces like bay windows or angled windows.

Our
team of window treatment experts provide personalised guidance, helping you choose from an extensive range of louvre sizes and materials, including wood, PVC (ideal for humid or high-traffic areas) and composite materials for added strength. Whether you prefer a natural wood finish, painted shutters, or a lacquered appearance, we have options to match your style.
Once your shutters are ready, our experienced fitters handle the installation professionally, ensuring smooth operation and an exceptional finish.

A range of shutter styles to suit all properties

Bi-fold shutters

Bi-fold shutters fold open in sections, making them ideal for larger windows or doors where there is less space surrounding the opening.

Sliding shutters

Sliding shutters move horizontally and are perfect for wide windows or patio doors where smooth operation is essential.

Hinged shutters

Hinged shutters open outward like traditional doors, providing simple access and a classic look.
With any style, you can choose adjustable or fixed slats according to your preferences. Adjustable slats offer excellent control over natural light and privacy, while fixed slats provide consistent coverage without adjustment.

Tailor-made shutters for awkward spaces


Angled, triangular, or unusually shaped windows, often found in loft conversions or gable-end properties, can pose a real challenge if you want to install shutters. At Drapes By Design, we can work with you to create custom window shutters specifically designed to accommodate these distinctive spaces.
We can also design shutters to work around problem areas like radiators, window handles, and pipes using precise cutouts or modified frames. This gives you easy access to essential fixtures without compromising the elegant appearance of your shutters.

Three benefits of window shutters

One.

Low-maintenance
Our window shutters are carefully crafted from premium-quality materials, selected for their ability to withstand daily use and environmental conditions. Maintenance is straightforward, with shutters requiring only occasional cleaning to stay looking their best. Unlike fabric window treatments, shutters are resistant to fading, discolouration, and wear, making them an ideal long-term solution. Invest in our custom-made shutters, and you’ll enjoy lasting beauty, practicality, and convenience without the hassle of extensive upkeep.

Two.

Enhanced comfort
Installing window shutters offers significant advantages when it comes to insulation and energy efficiency. Our custom-made shutters help regulate indoor temperatures, reducing heat loss in winter and keeping rooms cooler in summer. This enhanced insulation can lead to noticeable reductions in your energy bills, offering both immediate and long-term savings.

Three.

Light and privacy control
Shutters with adjustable slats make it easy to control the amount of light coming into your home, while retaining privacy. They can screen you from the outside while letting in a lot of light better than curtains or blinds which usually need to be fully open.
