Plantation Shutters: Order in Time for Christmas

27/09/2017

Compared with traditional window coverings, plantation shutters convey a number of beautiful benefits. Incredibly stylish, easy to clean and much more versatile than curtains, it’s not hard to see why plantation shutters have been one of the most popular interior design trends of 2017. If you’re thinking of having a home revamp for this autumn/winter season, plantation shutters are an element that will definitely impress your guests. In this week’s blog, we give our customers the lowdown on our range of plantation shutters and remind you to get your order in by October 11th if you want them installed for Christmas!

Classic Design

Plantation Shutters are named after the large country estate ‘plantations’ of the American South, which traditionally grew crops such as cotton, coffee and tobacco. This type of shutter tends to consist of larger slats, which when fully opened allow a lot of light through and offer excellent ventilation. When closed, the shutters are very effective at blocking out light and offer a high level of privacy. Whereas curtains are generally not drawn in the day, you can feel comfortable having your plantation shutters closed at any time, whilst maintaining a beautifully styled window.

Romantic Design

At Cooks Blinds and Shutters, we stock a range of plantation shutters from fashionable stockists S:CRAFT. Although, traditionally, plantation shutters have a romantic white wooden design that would fit right in at a farmhouse: nowadays there is a huge variety of styles available. Plantation shutters blend in beautifully with the most traditional, as well as the most contemporary, interior design schemes. All the S:CRAFT plantation shutters are made to measure, so can be suited to a window of any shape or size, even a porthole! Plantation shutters can even be installed into a wardrobe, or as a room divider.
