So, you’ve decided that you want to get some new window dressings and you’ve done some shopping around. Hopefully you’ve now landed on shutters. If you haven’t yet, hopefully the next couple of minutes worth of reading will change your mind. You may also have seen that by going with DIY shutters you can save upwards of 40% on the cost of plantation shutters against other measure and install services. But maybe DIY sounds like a lot of work. Well, it’s surprisingly simple.

Can You Make Your Own Window Shutters?
If you’re looking for an easy and practical DIY shutter idea, this is not something we would recommend. In fact, we would activity discourage it. Making your own shutters from scratch is quite a big undertaking. There are quite a few moving parts to consider, and you must also be careful to make them the exact size you require – to the millimetre. And that’s without even mentioning the several layers of splash and UV-resistant paint to apply. So, why not go with a company that does all this for you, with the added benefit of a 3/10-year warranty (product dependent)?
DIY Shutters Ideas
By choosing DIY Shutters as your shutter provider, you’ll have a raft of different
shutter styles to choose from.
Our
Full Height Shutters cover the entirety of your window. This makes them the ideal choice for all sized windows. Plus, you can add extra definition with a mid-rail, granting you separate slat control on the top and bottom sections.

With
Café Style, you’ll cover the bottom section of your windows. This is ideal for allowing light into the home while still maintaining a level of privacy.
Lastly, there is our
Tier-on-Tier shutters. For the best of both worlds, this is your best bet. Tier-on-Tier covers the whole window when the panels are closed but is comprised of a top and bottom sections. These panel sections operate completely independently, letting you open the top panels completely while the bottom remains closed – and vice-versa.
