Here are some of the typical design options you’ll choose from when investing in shutters for your home

With over 20 colours to choose from, there’s something for everyone. But if you have a specific shade in mind or want to match a feature wall, we also offer custom colour finishes. If you opt for our EliteWood range, you can choose from 11 beautiful stained wood finishes to complement your home’s style.

We offer three louvre sizes—63mm, 76mm, and 89mm—all included in our pricing. Louvre size is mostly a personal preference, but here’s a general guide: Larger 89mm louvres are ideal for modern homes, especially when paired with a fully concealed control system. Smaller 63mm louvres suit a more traditional look, particularly with a centre rod on a tier-on-tier style. Our most popular choice, the versatile 76mm louvre, offers the perfect balance, complementing both large and small windows beautifully.
A common FAQ regarding louvre size is: Do smaller louvres block out more light? Statistically, yes—but realistically, the difference is hardly noticeable. From fitting thousands of shutters, we’ve found that the biggest factor affecting natural light in a room is actually the colour of the shutters. Dark colours absorb light, while our bright, clean whites reflect it, helping to brighten the space when the louvres are positioned to do so.

We offer two main louvre control options: the traditional visible centre rod and the fully concealed control rod.
The fully concealed control rod is by far the most popular choice, offering a sleek, modern look. It also works seamlessly with our free privacy split upgrade for enhanced light and privacy control.
The visible centre rod provides a classic appearance, making it a great choice for period properties or more traditional shutter styles like tier-on-tier.
Common FAQ: What is a Privacy Split?
A privacy split allows the louvres to tilt at different angles independently, providing better light and privacy control. However, when all louvres are aligned, the split becomes invisible, maintaining a seamless look. (take a look)-button which reveals an image.

While shutters naturally block out a lot of light, they aren’t fully blackout. For a near-complete blackout experience, we offer an upgrade with a fully integrated blackout blind built discreetly within the shutter frame. This option blends seamlessly with your non-blackout shutters for a sleek, unified look. Plus, you can take it a step further with motorized blackout blinds that can be connected to your smart home system for added convenience and control.

EXCELLENT Based on 189 reviews Michael Chalk2025-02-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had Ideal-Shutters fit new shutters to our home. They provided an exceptional service from start to finish. The salesman. Dan was brilliant, very knowledgeable and he took time to explain the choices we had and was able to give the best advice so we were able to make the right choice for us. We were kept informed throughout by Louise. On the day of fitting the two fitters Adam and Don were both extremely polite and very professional. They were very engaging and meticulously clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending Ideal-Shutters to anyone. Tamasine Bates2025-02-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic customer service from start to finish. Dan was friendly when he came to quote our work, Louise kept us up to date with shipping and fitting, and the two teams who came out to fit the PerfectFit and Craftwood shutters were amazing. The shutters look fabulous and the team were so tidy with their work you wouldn’t know they’d been! Alex Hudson2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service from Dan and the team at ideal shutters. Placed three separate orders with them and they couldn't be more helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get shutters. Cheers! Aaron G2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely made up with our new shutters and the service we received throughout, Nick really helped make it easy and took the stress away when deciding the right colour scheme and shutter style to suit our home, and then the professional service and finish when completed leaving the house clean and tidy was outstanding. Everything down to the small details which makes the difference, wouldn’t go anywhere else Kimberley Mills2025-01-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks to Nick, Louise, Dan, and the team at Ideal Shutters who made the process very easy. Great, friendly, professional service and communication throughout, without any hard sales. We wanted shutters in our home for a long time and whilst the lead time for delivery is fairly long (...plus we ordered just before Christmas!), they are worth the wait in terms of quality and look. The guys who installed them were very clean and tidy and took time to explain how they should be cared for. The shutters really finish the rooms off now and make them cosier at night, plus keep any draft out. Thanks again, would definitely recommend 'Ideal Shutters' to others. We're very happy with them! nesta basterfield2025-01-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All the staff are really helpful. We received regular updates whilst the blinds were being manufactured. The fitters were really polite, punctual and helpful. They even ensured that they completed the upstairs blinds by midday so my toddler could nap in his own room. We are really happy with the blinds and they complete the look of our recently refurbished home. Karen Turtle2025-01-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our shutters were fitted today. The fitters as well as all the staff were very professional and friendly. We would highly recommend Lorraine Busuttil2024-12-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are great. Good price, keep you updated on the whole process, friendly and efficient team and the end result is beautiful! If you need shutters, highly recommend these guys. Karen Maunder2024-12-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ideal Shutters are just that - ideal! More to the point, absolutely perfect. The Venetian blinds and perfect fit blinds we had installed are of very good quality and the installation was seamless - the fitters were friendly yet very professional , respected our home, done a very quick job at installing and tidied up meticulously after - I cannot recommend this company enough! The prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the blinds and the professional installation- both fitters and Dan and Louise are very friendly and genuine people who care about the service they provide-gives the likes of Hilary’s a run for their money at half the cost! TV I will be recommending Ideal Shutters to my friends and family for sure.
