For day 18 of The Shutter Advent we are looking at shaped window shutters.
Most windows are built into rectangular shapes, but window shapes are not limited to this classic example. Some homes have some stunning shaped windows as part of their architecture including circular, arched, and triangular windows and shutters are the ideal dressing for these windows. Unlike other window dressings, shutters are custom made down to the smallest detail so installing them to your shaped windows doesn’t mean entirely covering the space but instead can be manufactured to the exact shape of the window. For this reason, many homeowners choose shutters to dress their shaped window and it makes sense - when you have a stunning window shape as a feature in your room why would you want to cover the shape with a rectangular shutter as would be require for curtains or blinds.
Can shutters be made in any shape?

Are there any limitations on shaped shutters?
