Everything You Need to Know About Living Room Shutters

The living room is the heart of the home, the place to relax, entertain and unwind. Getting the window treatment right is key to creating the right atmosphere, and window shutters are one of the most popular choices for good reason. They offer complete light and privacy control, add timeless elegance to any interior style, and are built to last. Whether your living room is traditional or contemporary, large or small, there's a shutter style and material to suit.

Why Choose Living Room Shutters?

Complete Light Control

One of the biggest advantages of living room shutters is the level of control they give you over natural light. Close them fully for a snug, cocooning feel, open them completely to flood the room with sunshine, or angle the slats for a softer, more relaxed mood. For rooms with a great outlook, shutters fold neatly back against the wall so you can enjoy the full view.

Privacy Without Losing Light

A good level of privacy is important in any living room, especially on a busy street. Plantation shutters let you tilt the slats for privacy while still letting in plenty of natural light, something curtains and most blinds can't offer.

Insulation and Energy Efficiency

Shutters create an effective barrier against drafts and external temperatures, helping to keep your living room comfortable year-round. Our hardwood shutters are treated with multiple layers of UV protectant and sealant to withstand direct sunlight without fading or cracking.

Timeless Style for Any Interior

Plantation shutters complement any interior design style, from classic and traditional to sleek and contemporary. With a wide range of colors, stains, slat sizes and frame options, they can be fully tailored to your living room. Neutral tones are the most popular choice as they remain timeless even if you change your furniture or décor.

Easy to Maintain

Wooden shutters are easily cleaned with a damp cloth and can be dusted with a cloth or feather duster. They won't attract dust or retain odors like fabric curtains.

What Living Room Shutter Ranges Are Available?

Hardwood Shutters

Hardwood is the most popular material for living rooms, offering the widest range of colors, stains and frame styles. Our hardwood ranges are made from 100% solid wood, treated to withstand heat and direct sunlight without warping or fading.

Waterproof Vinyl Shutters

If you live in a humid climate or keep your windows open frequently, our waterproof polyvinyl shutters are worth considering. Unlike wood, they won't warp in wet or humid conditions and require no drying off after condensat

Things to Consider When Choosing Living Room Shutters

Which Style?

Full height shutters are the most popular choice for living rooms, they offer complete privacy and are the easiest to install. Adding a mid-rail allows you to keep the lower slats closed for privacy while opening the top for light. Café shutters are great option if you want to keep the upper portion of the window open for maximum daylight. Tier on tier shutters are worth considering if you think you might want to cover the full window in future, adding a top tier above existing café style shutters is more challenging, so it's better to plan ahead.

Which Frame?

The frame you choose will affect both the look and the installation. L-frames are subtle and minimal, ideal for a modern look or where the window already has existing trim. Z-frames and Deco frames create a more decorative molding effect and are useful for hiding any gaps if your windows aren't perfectly square or level.

Which Color?

Neutral tones ranging from bright white to cream and gray will stand the test of time and match any décor. Order free shutter samples to see what looks best in your living room before committing.
