Best Styles for Bedroom Shutters
Choosing the right style can make all the difference. Here are the most popular options for bedrooms:
- Full Height Shutters : Classic and clean, these cover the entire window and are ideal for blocking out light.
- Full Height with Hidden break: A discreet break allows you to control the top and bottom louvres independently.
- Tier-on-tier Shutters: Offers flexible control of light and privacy by opening the top and bottom sections separately.
- Shutters with Room Darkening Blinds : A built-in blackout blind within the frame, perfect for light-sensitive sleepers or nurseries.
We’ll help you find the perfect match based on your window size, position, and personal preferences.

Bedroom Shutters FAQ
What is the most popular style of shutter for bedrooms?
Full-height shutters are the most popular choice for bedrooms. They offer full window coverage and can include a hidden break or divider rail for added flexibility. Many customers also choose room-darkening blinds for enhanced sleep quality.
Do shutters block light?
Shutters give you much better control over light than most window coverings, and closed solid panels block the most. With the louvres tilted shut, a bedroom gets very dark, which many people find ideal for sleeping and daytime naps. Because shutters are made to measure and sit close to the window, they limit light spilling in, but a thin line of light can still show around the edges of the frame and between louvres.
If you need a bedroom as dark as possible room-darkening blinds are fitted inside the shutter frame to block out nearly all light. These blinds are ideal for light sleepers, nurseries, or bedrooms facing bright street lighting. We recommend including them at the time of order as they are not easy to retrofit.
Can I choose a custom colour for bedroom shutters?
Yes. Custom colour matching is available in several of our materials. It’s a popular choice for children’s rooms or design-led interiors. A small surcharge applies per custom colour, and we can supply extra slats at the time of order for easy future replacements.
Do shutters help with insulation in bedrooms?
Yes. Plantation shutters add a layer of insulation that helps regulate room temperature year-round. This can make your bedroom more comfortable while helping to reduce energy bills.
Are shutters good for bedrooms?
Yes. Bedrooms are one of the best rooms for shutters, because they give you privacy, adjustable light control and a consistent look that doesn’t need replacing when you redecorate. Closing the panels and louvres gives you full privacy, while angling the louvres lets daylight in without people seeing in. They’re also easy to keep clean (a quick wipe or dust), which makes them a better choice than fabric for people with allergies. Available in full height, tier on tier and café style, they suit most bedroom windows, including sash and bay windows.
Are shutters better than curtains in bedrooms?
For many homeowners, yes. Shutters offer superior light control, are easier to clean, and don’t collect dust or allergens like curtains. They also add long-term value to your property.
Are shutters good for noise and insulation?
Yes, to a degree. Shutters add an extra layer in front of the window, which helps reduce draughts and heat loss in winter and keeps rooms cooler in summer when the louvres are closed. They can also take the edge off outside noise, with solid panel shutters giving the best result, especially on a road-facing bedroom. They won’t replace double or secondary glazing, and they won’t soundproof a room, but they’re a useful addition and make a noticeable difference to comfort.
