When it comes to deciding on which type of window covering is best for each window, you may be wondering whether plantation shutters are suitable for all rooms or just a select few.

With a range of benefits such as light control, high privacy levels, insulation and a sleek design, shutters are the perfect solution for almost any room. Here are ___ locations within your home where you can use window shutters to lift the appearance and give you greater control over the room.

Plantation Shutters in the Living Room

The living room is often the busiest room of the home, where you spend most of your time relaxing with your family, watching television, playing games or simply chilling out.

With the addition of plantation shutters in your living room, you have the ultimate privacy solution, with the open to either fully open the shutters for a full view outside, tilting the louvres at an angle so you have a partial few or fully closed to prevent any nosy by-passers peering into your living room.

Thanks to the versatility of shutters, you also have increased lighting control, with the ability to let all natural light in from outside, a small amount or none at all. The latter option is especially useful for preventing any annoying glare from the window when watching television or playing video games.

You can also benefit from added warmth in your home as plantation shutters help to block draughts from coming in and warm air escaping through the window. In fact, when closed, shutters have been found to reduce heat loss through a window by more than 50%, helping you to keep warm and save on costly energy bills.

Plantation Shutters for the Kitchen

The kitchen is a room in the home that is often filled with high levels of moisture, grease and splashes of food from cooking. Other window covering options, such as fabric blinds and curtains, can easily become stained, damaged or mouldy due to these conditions, making them unsightly, smelly and unhygienic.

Fortunately, plantation shutters do not absorb liquids and oils like other types of window coverings do and they are much easier to wipe clean. This also means they’re less likely to collect dust, making them more hygienic in a room where cleanliness is key.

Plantation Shutters for the Bathroom

Much like the kitchen, bathrooms are often very humid rooms, making plantation shutters an ideal solution to protect against mould and warping. Not to mention, they’re excellent at providing privacy in a room where it is a top priority.

Plantation Shutters for the Bedroom

One of the key properties you want from a window covering in your bedroom is privacy. Thankfully, plantation shutters can offer the ultimate privacy solution with the ability to adjust the louvres to your preferred angle to either fully open, partially open or fully closed.

Unlike fabric curtains and blinds, shutters also don’t collect dust as quickly and can be easily wiped clean, making them ideal for bedrooms of individuals with dust allergies.

Plantation Shutters for Draughty Rooms

If you have any rooms which are especially draughty in your home that you cannot afford to insulate, plantation shutters make the perfect addition by acting as an extra barrier to block out the draughts and stop heat from escaping through the windows.
