🛏️ Bedroom Shutters – Privacy, Comfort & Light Control

Shutters are an increasingly popular choice for bedrooms, offering the perfect combination of privacy, room darkening, and sound reduction. Unlike traditional blinds, shutters give you greater control over light and visibility — especially important when you want privacy first thing in the morning or during the night.

🌘 Room Darkening for Better Sleep

Full height shutters offer excellent light control by reducing the gaps around the window frame, helping create a darker environment for sleep. Compared to blinds or curtains, shutters sit more snugly within the recess and prevent unwanted light leaks around the edges.

For those seeking an even greater reduction in light, we also offer our Shutter & Shade system. This combines a front-facing shutter with a cellular honeycomb blind built discreetly into the frame behind. When paired with a blackout fabric, it provides enhanced room darkening — especially useful for shift workers or families with young children.

The honeycomb layer also adds a small degree of sound reduction, making your bedroom quieter and more peaceful.

🔇 Reduce Noise with Softwood or ABS Shutters

While shutters don’t fully soundproof a room, they do help reduce external noise, particularly when using a Softwood or ABS material. These more solid panels act as a barrier against traffic, birds, or early morning activity — helping create a calmer atmosphere when you’re trying to sleep.

🪟 Privacy Without Losing Natural Light

Bedroom shutters give you the ability to maintain privacy while still letting in natural light. A popular choice is full height shutters with a mid-rail, which allows the upper and lower slats to be adjusted independently.

This means you can open the top slats to brighten the room, while keeping the bottom section closed for modesty and privacy — ideal when getting dressed or relaxing in the morning.

👁️ Concealed Mid-Rail for a Cleaner Look

If you prefer an uninterrupted appearance, we offer a concealed mid-rail option. This still provides independent top and bottom slat control, but without the visible horizontal dividing bar.

Wherever possible, we align mid-rails with your window’s transoms or glazing bars to match the window’s style and proportions.

📏 Slat Size Considerations for Bedroom Windows

Bedroom windows are often shorter in height, so we generally recommend a smaller louvre size (such as 63mm or 76mm) to ensure the shutters look balanced and work effectively.

A smaller slat size has another important advantage:

It allows us to position any mid-rail or concealed slat break more accurately — typically just below shoulder height for privacy. Because the mid-rail alignment can only fall within half a slat, smaller slats give us greater precision when aligning with window bars or your preferred view lines.
