Shutter styles, and the one that suits your window

The style you choose decides how a room feels at seven in the morning and at ten at night. Here is a calm, honest comparison.

All shutter styles

One unbroken panel from sill to top. Quiet, architectural, and the shape most people picture when they imagine shutters.

Upper and lower panels that open on their own. Sky above, privacy below, and every shade between.

Privacy across the lower half, with the top of the window left open to trees and sky.

Smooth hardwood panels with no louvres. The traditional period shutter, and the deepest dark.

Panels that glide along a track instead of swinging open. Made for bifolds, patio doors and wide openings.
