We recently completed a beautiful installation of tier on tier plantation shutters in a traditional terraced home in Chester, supplying and installing seven shutters across the property. Most of the shutters were finished in a stylish dark clay colour, creating a bold and elegant look that complemented the character of the home.
Perfect for Terraced Homes
Many traditional terraced houses have windows that face directly onto the street, making privacy an important consideration. Tier on tier shutters are an ideal solution for this type of property because the top and bottom panels operate independently.
This means the lower panels can remain closed to maintain privacy while the top panels are opened to allow natural light into the room. It’s a simple but highly effective way to keep the room bright while still feeling private and comfortable.
A Mix of Colours to Suit Each Room
While the majority of the shutters in this home were installed in dark clay, one of the seven shutters was finished in white to better complement the décor of the room it was installed in.
This highlights one of the great advantages of plantation shutters – they can be tailored to suit each individual space within the home. Whether you prefer a bold statement colour or a more classic neutral tone, shutters can be customised to match the style and feel of each room.
Made to Measure for a Seamless Fit
All of the shutters were made to measure specifically for the windows, ensuring a precise fit within the window recess and smooth operation of the panels. Once installed, shutters become a permanent feature of the room, framing the windows beautifully while providing excellent functionality.
The Benefits of Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters are a popular choice for homes like this because they offer:
Excellent privacy for street-facing windows
Flexible control of light throughout the day
Added insulation during colder months
A durable, long-lasting window covering
A timeless style that suits both traditional and modern interiors
