Dare to pair shutters with curtains and you’ll create a luxurious look at your windows. Here we show you the benefits of layering window dressings for maximum style and performance and provide advice on choosing the right plantation shutters and curtains for your home.
Combining plantation shutters with curtains has a number of benefits no matter what room you’re in – increased privacy, energy efficiency, great looks and more. But make this pairing in the bedroom and you’ll also enjoy a better night’s sleep.
Shutters can help minimise the amount of unwanted noise coming through your windows, so they are a great choice if your window overlooks a street or busy road. We’ve chosen full length curtains to complement the white shutters in this bedroom, creating a serene and relaxing feel.
Both shutters and curtains are excellent at preventing draughts and keeping the heat in the room with you. Doubling up at the window will stop unwanted chills in their tracks and allow you to maintain a cosy temperature all year round.
Thermal lined curtains layered over shutters is the ultimate combination and is especially ideal for single-glazed windows in period properties.
“Our new shutters have made such a difference in our home. I love how they give us complete privacy when we need it, while still letting in just the right amount of light. I have found they have also really helped with insulation, no more chilly drafts sneaking in, especially in the evenings!”
Elise Dodds, Home and lifestyle influencer
For rooms where you want to make the most of natural light without compromising on privacy, Café style shutters are the perfect choice. Designed to cover the lower half of the window, they leave the top section clear so daylight can stream in while maintaining street-level privacy.
Layering Café style shutters with curtains adds softness and texture, creating a look that feels warm and inviting. Together, they offer greater flexibility when it comes to managing light levels, maintaining privacy and temperature control, making them a practical and stylish choice.
"That combination of shutter and curtains adds a layer of both privacy and light control. Close them all up and it does make the room feel very private and really, really cosy."
Erica Davies, former fashion editor, style editor, author, radio and TV presenter.
