If you’re lucky enough to have a farmhouse style home, well, frankly we’re a little jealous. On the other hand, if you’ve found yourself swooning over the rustic charm of farmhouse-style interiors and thinking, “I’d love me some of that”, you’re not alone.
After all, who doesn’t want an infinitely inviting and timeless design for their home? Well, whether you’re improving your existing farmhouse décor or want to add some homespun, rustic charm to your modern space, we’ve got the shutters to suit. But before we get to that, let’s touch upon the basics first…
What is Farmhouse Style?
As the name suggests, farmhouse style draws inspiration from the simple and practical design elements found in rural farmhouses. It embraces the rustic, the cozy, and the down-to-earth, by blending modern home comforts with vintage features
Natural materials, distressed finishes, and a neutral color palette all contribute to the quaint charm of farmhouse décor, creating spaces that are cozy, inviting, and oh so homely.
Choosing Your Farmhouse Shutters
If you’re still deciding on your perfect farmhouse interior shutters, don’t fret, because we’re here to help. We have a range of styles and finishes for you to choose from. Below are a few of our favorites.
Full Height
Full height shutters: they’re a classic for a reason. Simple, elegant, and timeless, they cover the entirety of your window for an uncluttered look. They’re perfect for rounding off your farmhouse aesthetic.
Café Style Shutters
A firm farmhouse favorite, café style shutters cover the lower section of the windows only, leaving the top open to let natural light flood in. This style adds a touch of countryside charm while still allowing you to maintain your privacy. This makes them the perfect choice for larger windows.

Solid Raised Shutters
Inspired by the interior wood shutters of yesteryear, solid raised is one of our most popular styles of farmhouse shutters. They’re made from solid panels, so very little light passes through.
Find Your Finish
The beauty of farmhouse style décor is that you’re not restricted to color. Whether you go for the whitest whites, or the darkest greys, there are no wrong answers. If, however, you want a more rustic and natural feel to your space, why not opt for one of our wood stains or limewash finishes? They’ll blend seamlessly with the rest of your fixtures and bring extra texture and warmth to your home.
DIY Shutters: Affordable Farmhouse Charm
DIY shutters offer plenty of cost benefits that other options don’t. You’ll save a bundle on installation costs, making them ideal for anyone who loves DIY projects. By measuring and fitting the shutters yourself, you save on installation expenses and have the satisfaction of creating your own personalized space.
And because they’re a semi-permanent fixture, they can even add to the value of your home. Oh, and let’s not forget the money you’ll save on energy bills. Farmhouse shutters are excellent insulators, keeping your home warm in the winter and cold in the summer. That’s a win-win in our book.
