Plantation Shutters in Camden
Camden’s housing is anything but uniform. Victorian and Georgian terraces sit alongside converted flats, mews houses and modern apartments, with windows ranging from traditional sash designs to large and unusually shaped openings.
That’s where made-to-measure plantation shutters can work particularly well. Rather than choosing a standard blind to fit the window, each shutter is designed around the individual opening, helping to retain the character of the property while giving you control over privacy and natural light.
Shutters for Camden's Period Homes
Many properties around Camden, Kentish Town, Primrose Hill and Hampstead have retained original features, including tall sash windows and traditional proportions.
Plantation shutters can be fitted within or around these windows without covering the whole feature with curtains. For taller windows, full-height shutters with a divider rail or tier-on-tier shutters can provide a balanced finish while allowing different sections of the window to be controlled independently.
The right configuration will depend on the individual window, which is why we measure each one rather than relying on standard sizes.
Privacy for Camden's Busy Streets
For homes overlooking roads, pavements or neighbouring properties, privacy can be just as important as the appearance of the shutters.
The adjustable louvres allow you to change the angle of the shutter throughout the day. You can block direct views into the room while still allowing daylight through, rather than having to keep curtains or blinds completely closed.
For some street-facing windows, café style shutters can provide privacy across the lower part of the window while leaving the upper section open.
A Camden Shutter Project
For this Camden property, we designed and installed made-to-measure shutters taking into account the proportions and shape of the existing windows.
The homeowner wanted to maximise their options throughout the day. They wanted the option to keep the upper panels of the shutters open for natural light while keeping the lower section closed for privacy.
We designed the shutters with this in mind, allowing the different sections of the window to be operated independently.

Choosing Shutters for Your Camden Home
There isn’t one shutter style that works for every Camden property. The best option depends on the window, the room and how you want to use it.
Camden’s converted flats can present a different set of requirements. Windows may be taller than standard modern windows, rooms can have limited floor space and the original proportions of a period property may have been retained through a conversion.
During your home survey, we’ll look at the individual windows and discuss options including full-height, café style, tier-on-tier and tracked shutters, along with the different materials and finishes available.
You can also visit our Battersea showroom to see the shutters in person.
