Decorating a modern home is all about creating a space that celebrates clean lines, sleek designs, and functionality without compromising on style. Whether you’re starting your fabulous décor journey from the ground up or giving your existing home a modern makeover, modern shutters add the perfect finishing flourish to any contemporary space.
Not a shutter expert? Well, that’s what we’re here for. In this blog, we’ll take you through our sumptuous range of shutter styles and help you find the right one for your space. So, let’s get started.
Prioritise Minimalism with Full-Height Shutters
For the ultimate in streamlined style, full-height shutters are a go-to for modern interiors. These shutters cover the entire window and offer excellent light control, insulation, and privacy. Their classic design and elegant simplicity pair beautifully with modern furniture and open-plan layouts, making them a versatile choice for any room.
To keep things nicely crisp and contemporary, you can’t go wrong with whites and greys. Prefer something a little bolder? We have a range of modern colours and finishes for our shutters, so you’re sure to find the perfect shade to suit your space.
The Flexibility of Tier-on-Tier Shutters
Tier-on-tier shutters give you flexibility without compromising style. The top and bottom panels open independently, so you can let the light in while still maintaining privacy. This is particularly useful in street-facing rooms like living areas or bedrooms.
Pair these shutters with bold feature walls or monochrome palettes to bring a modern twist to a classic design.
The Sophistication of Café Style Shutters
Café style shutters cover the lower portion of your windows (usually halfway, but that’s up to you), offering privacy without blocking the sun’s lovely rays. This makes them an excellent addition to your modern home décor where practicality is important. We’re talking kitchens, dining rooms, and street-facing rooms.
Combine your café style shutters with large, open windows to create an airy, inviting space that’s perfect for entertaining guests or relaxing with a good book.
Solid Shutters: Modern Meets Traditional
Solid panel shutters are a tribute to the shutters of old. And while you might be forgiven for thinking they’re the exclusive reserve of period properties, these light-reducing shutters are the perfect way to marry the old with the new. Their lack of slats builds upon modern home décor styles by bringing a stripped back feel.
Available in a range of styles and finishes, who says modern shutters need slats? Add them to your lounge or dining room to give your space a more intimate feel.
Modern Materials for Modern Homes
The material of your shutters can make all the difference when styling a contemporary home. Hardwood shutters provide a timeless look and come in the widest range of styles and finishes, while our waterproof polyvinyl shutters are ideal for kitchens or bathrooms that require extra durability. Lastly, there’s our faux wood shutters. Made in the UK and fully waterproof, we make them in our very own factory and can fit them within just four weeks of order.
Make a Colour Statement
In modern homes, colour is key. White and grey are popular choices for their ability to blend seamlessly with modern décor. For something a little different, our limewashed or wood-stained finishes can add warmth and texture to your interiors without feeling out of place in a sleek, contemporary setting.
For truly bespoke shutters, consider our custom colour matching service. Whether you’re drawn to bold shades that make a statement or subtle hues that blend seamlessly into your interiors, our service ensures you’ll find the perfect colour every time. With hundreds of colours available, you can tailor your shutters to complement your modern home perfectly and create your very own “new age shutters”.
