Complete blackout
When the shade is drawn down behind the louvres, the room is properly dark — a real upgrade for shift workers, light sleepers and early mornings.
The Collection
Two window treatments. One quiet solution.
Shutter & Shade is our 2-in-1 system: a beautifully made plantation shutter with a fabric blackout shade concealed in a slim cassette at the top of the frame.
By day, the shutter behaves exactly as you would expect — tilt the louvres, control the light, enjoy the view. By night, draw the shade down behind the louvres for complete, restful darkness.
It is the cleanest way we know to combine a beautiful shutter with the practical blackout that bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms really need.
Why Homeowners Choose This Style
The convenience of curtains, with none of the clutter.
Four reasons our customers are choosing Shutter & Shade over fabric and shutter combined.
Invisibly integrated
The cassette tucks into the top of the frame. From the room, you would never know there was a blind there at all.
A nursery essential
Daytime naps, early bedtimes, summer evenings — the blackout fabric does the hard work while the shutter keeps the room feeling considered.
Cinema-quiet darkness
Snug, media room, home cinema — total light control in a single, beautifully made unit. No drapes, no rails, no compromise.
“The bedroom is finally as dark as a hotel — but it still looks like a bedroom, not a blackout room.”
— Sophie, Newcastle
Beautiful in Every Room
Where Shutter & Shade earns its place.
Anywhere darkness matters — and the way the room looks matters just as much.
Master Bedrooms
The most popular installation. The shutter is for the day; the shade is for sleep. Quiet, restful, complete.
Nurseries & Children's Rooms
Blackout is non-negotiable here. The shutter softens the room beautifully when little ones are awake; the shade drops for naps and bedtime.
Media & Cinema Rooms
Block out every last sliver of daylight. The shade behind the louvres gives true projection-quality darkness on demand.
Street-Facing Rooms
Louvre privacy from passers-by, then full blackout at night. The most discreet way to handle a busy road.
A beautifully engineered window treatment, fitted by us.
Shutter & Shade is more involved than a standard shutter — we measure, manufacture and fit every system ourselves so the cassette, the louvres and the fabric sit perfectly.
