Brighten your home
Adding window shutters to your home can vastly increase light flow to your rooms. You can direct external light to wherever you choose and can control glare to your rooms at particular parts of the day. Curtains on the other hand, even when drawn back, can be cumbersome and can block a portion of the light that enters your room. This can cause a room to feel dull or drab.

Stylish option
Shutters add a sleek and stylish appearance to your rooms. Their appearance is timeless and elegant. This means they won't date and need updating in a few years time making them a cost efficient option. The neat lines and structure of the shutters will perfectly compliment your room giving you the sought after minimalist vibe without appearing too basic. You can also purchase shutters in a range of different colours so you can seamlessly blend them in with your chosen décor.

Practical
Window shutter blinds are a practical and low fuss option for your home. They can be opened and closed with ease and you can effortlessly control the amount of light that enters your home. Curtains on the other hand can only be either open or shut which does not allow you to filter the quantity of light in or out of your room so easily. Shutters can also enable you to control the temperature of your room as you can filter out the sunlight or let it in as required.

Easy to Clean
Shutters are easy to clean requiring just a simple wipe down to keep them free from dust and grime. Curtains on the other hand can harbour dust and dirt as well as odours and require a machine wash at intervals to maintain their appearance and freshness.

Safe for families
Unfortunately blind cords pose a real danger to small children who can easy become tangled in them. Shutters don't have any cords which makes them a safe and family friendly option.
