Bedroom shutters are about two things: the light that wakes you up, and the privacy that lets you forget the street exists. Here's how we approach them.
On light
A 76mm louvre is the sweet spot for bedrooms. Closed tight, it blocks the great majority of street and morning light. For truly dark sleep, pair shutters with a blackout cellular blind behind — most clients with east-facing bedrooms in Newcastle take this combination.
On privacy
Tier-on-tier gives you the cleanest split: open the top half to let light in, keep the bottom half closed for permanent privacy. It's the most-requested bedroom configuration we fit.
Colour matters more than people think
Bright white shutters can feel clinical in a bedroom. A soft white or warm off-white reads as calm — the kind of room you don't want to leave at 7am.
