Yes, the finer details of DIY Shutters are all important, such as the hinge colour and the quality of the materials (you won't find any MDF here), but it’s the colour that will grab your visitors' attention.

Our traffic grey shutters are a darker shade, making them the perfect match for the Hygge and Japandi interior design trends.
