Window coverings play a huge part in the finished look and feel of a room from the light source to the appearance they have on your furnishings. Therefore, deciding on which window finishing would suit your home best can be a tough choice and one that deserves time thinking over. It is important to take your whole room into consideration and your outside space before deciding on which to opt for.
By utilising our easy to follow measuring and fitting guides DIY Wooden Shutters are designed to fit the exact measurements of your windows so you can be sure that they will cover almost any shaped window in your home. This said, it is worth noting that when installing wooden shutters yourself it is probably better to stick to more standard shaped, square and rectangular windows. For more obscure and unusual shaped windows, such as round or triangle we would advise calling in a reputable Wooden Shutter Installation company, such as Cherry Tree Shutters as they will be able to use their expert carpentry skills to create the perfect finish for the windows in your home.
Raw wooden shutters give a natural, earthy quality to a room creating an air of calm and the light source that enters the space can be easily controlled. If you don’t want to stick with the natural wooden or crisp white finish another benefit to Wooden Shutters is that many of then can be painted to complement your existing colour scheme making them incredibly versatile.
Blinds are more restricted in their design and work better for standard, square or rectangular windows and in rooms where light control isn’t as important. For example a baby’s nursery might benefit more from a blind (with a safety cord) as you tend to either have them open fully when the baby is awake or closed for nap time - rather than half open. Black out options are also available in blinds, which again might suit your bedroom requirements better. You do however still gain this benefit from wooden shutters as they come in a vast range of styles, many of which do offer a complete black out feature.
