Cafe Style Shutters in Essex
Privacy across the lower half, with the top of the window left open to trees and sky.
Cafe style shutters dress the lower part of the window and leave the upper glass bare. The room stays bright and you keep your view of the sky, while anyone passing sees softly angled louvres rather than your sofa.
They suit you if:
- It is a ground floor room where daylight matters more than darkness
- A kitchen or bathroom window is overlooked only at eye level
- You would like to keep the cost of a large bay gentle
Consider another style if: it is a bedroom, or a street light shines in. With the top open the room cannot be darkened, so solid panels or full height suit better there.
All cafe style shutters are made in solid hardwood (Basswood, Ashwood or Paulownia) in your choice of painted or stained finish and louvre size. Never faux wood or MDF.

Other styles to consider
01 Full Height
One unbroken panel from sill to top. Quiet, architectural, and the shape most people picture when they imagine shutters.
02 Tier on Tier
Upper and lower panels that open on their own. Sky above, privacy below, and every shade between.
03 Solid Panel
Smooth hardwood panels with no louvres. The traditional period shutter, and the deepest dark.
04 Tracked
Panels that glide along a track instead of swinging open. Made for bifolds, patio doors and wide openings.
