The benefits of choosing kitchen shutters:
- Control the natural light
- Easy to clean for all the kitchen spills
- A classic design to complement any kitchen interior
- Enhance your kitchen's privacy
- The ability to fit behind kitchen taps/obstructions
- Ability to measure and install yourself.
Complete light control
Kitchen shutters provide multiple ways of adjusting the light levels in your room. You can choose to adjust the slats for a subtle change in light or open the panels back fully to let all the light in.
Something to consider is the slat size you choose. A smaller slat means more slats and therefore less light comes through when they’re open. If you want to maximise the light that enters your kitchen when the panels are closed, we recommend a larger slat size like the 89mm.
A popular choice for kitchen shutters is our
Café style. This is a half-height design that allows privacy by covering the lower half of your windows but allows light in by leaving the top uncovered.
Tier on tier shutters will also provide this function and are perfect if you’re lucky enough to have large kitchen windows. You can open/fold back the top panels, which instantly changes the shutters to a café style design.
Full height shutters completely cover your window and are a perfect choice if your kitchen window is small. You can add a mid-rail to this design, which is a wooden rail that divides your slats, therefore allowing you to open the top and bottom slats independently.
Kitchen shutters are easy to clean
Our favourite thing about kitchen shutters is how easy they are to keep clean. Whatever the finish you choose, we simply recommend wiping the shutters with a damp cloth- and that’s it! This also applies to general maintenance and upkeep. Unlike other window dressings, kitchen shutters are a practical choice as any spills or splashes can be simply wiped away. You definitely can’t say the same about curtains!

Full Privacy for your kitchen
Most kitchens are on ground level so require a window dressing that provides privacy. Shutters do exactly that. Keep the panels and slats closed to ensure no one gets a look in! By choosing our Café style shutters you can get the full privacy you need whilst not blocking out the light.
Interior door shutters for kitchens
A lot of kitchens look out to patios or gardens and therefore have
French doors. The good news here is that we can make shutters for kitchen doors as well as windows - full height shutters are ideal for doors. This classic style provides a French country look that can be measured so that the divide lines up with your windows or kitchen cabinets. To help you with designing shutters for your kitchen doors, email the team and they can advise you on the best style.
Fitting shutters behind kitchen taps
We know that a lot of kitchen windows are situated behind the sink and therefore behind the kitchen taps. This is not a problem!
We offer a range of frame depths, which means you can choose a shallower frame to allow space behind these taps. If you want to ensure that your panels open, choose a panel configuration that allows narrower panels that bifold. If you have two panels opening to the left, and then two opening to the right – this will guarantee that you
have clearance to open the panels without hitting your taps.
