The Story Behind The Shade
The Laurence Llewelyn Bowen collection is more than a collection of colours. Each shade has a story behind it, but how you tell it in your home is up to you.
We’ve teamed up with the one and only Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen – a true icon of British interior design – in a collaboration that’s going to continue the Shutterly Fabulous mission to eradicate the drab and bring the fab back to the UK’s homes. This is more than a mere partnership; it’s a meeting of bold ideas, arresting style, and the finest craftsmanship. Looking to add a bold pop of your unique personality to your room? Or perhaps you prefer something timeless and neutral? Whatever your vibe, the Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen Collection is designed to inspire – and transform.
When we began our collaboration with Laurence, he was clear on how he wanted to create a collection that we could be proud of. We’ve certainly done that. In the LLB collection, we’ve got a colour palette that screams elegance, style, and a signature Shutterly Fabulous look.

To kick off our fledgling partnership, we sent Sally (Digital Content Manager) and Vanessa (Brand Manager) out to Laurence’s spectacular 17th century Cotswolds manor. Along with our two photographers, they took all sorts of snaps of our fitters expertly installing Laurence’s collection in his own home. Particular highlights included getting to know his lovely dog Midge, and taking in the fabulous home of one of the UK’s foremost interior designers. If ever there were a partnership made in design heaven, it was Shutterly Fabulous and Laurence Llewelyn Bowen.
Being fabulous means standing out from the crowd! We do things a little differently around here and pride ourselves on being fully transparent on price as well as offering the UK’s most comprehensive price beat promise. Ready to get the Shutterly ball rolling? Here’s what to do!

The Laurence Llewelyn Bowen collection is more than a collection of colours. Each shade has a story behind it, but how you tell it in your home is up to you.
In Gordons, Laurence has created the ultimate green lacquer that’ll make your shutters the perfect dining room statement piece. Or anywhere else, for that matter. This deep, rich green exudes calm sophistication and reminds one of the timeless elegance of nature. It’s a shade that tells a story of understated luxury. Yes, you’re fabulous, but why shout about it? With Gordons, it’s there for all to see.
Ever think of going pink? Satin is neither too hot nor too cold, and absolutely spot on for making your room look perfect in pink. Not too girly or dolly, this refined blush radiates a charming warmth that’s playfully elegant. If there were a tale to tell here, it would be one that screams, “The owner of this space knows exactly what they love, and you’re looking right at it”.
Maybe bright and bold aren’t in your interior story, and that’s okay. For every electric blue you’ll find a navy, for every scarlet, a maroon. And in place of bright white, we’ve got Rice White. Soft, gentle, and extremely supporting, its warm tones pair beautifully with reds, pinks, oranges, and yellow.
Looking for the perfect blue to integrate into your interior design scheme? Marine is a surefire way to make your inside world a little more lovely. Bold but not overpowering, it strikes the perfect balance between the two. This rich, deep blue brings a sense of quiet confidence to your space, whether paired with classic neutrals or modern, vibrant accents. Just gorgeous.
Finding the right red for your space is always a challenge. Go too bright and it’s overpowering, whereas too dull and it’s, well, dull. Luckily, Laurence has done all the hard work for you. This stunning hue is perfect for any occasion, hitting that sweet spot between bold and timeless. Whether you’re adding a touch of dramatic flair to your lounge or creating cosy vibe to the bedroom, this shade is sure to get the emotions stirring.
The second of LLB’s neutral colours, Linen is a cool, calming hue that effortlessly sits with greys, blues, and greens. Perfect for any space, it takes the visual temperature down without losing it’s charm. Linen is the perfect soothing hue to create a space of subtle elegance. A truly versatile shade that works anywhere, it’s serene, it’s balanced. It’s oh so Shutterly Fabulous.
Perfectly calibrated by Laurence to give a warm sense of age and woodiness, Chestnut shutters are the perfect piece for traditional spaces. A fabulous way to wrap your space in a sense of history and timeless luxury, they create that lived-in feel without skirting towards shabby chic. So, if you’re going for a more natural vibe to make you feel more in touch with the outside world, this is the one.
