7 Stunning French Shutter Styles for 2025

Covering the entire window from frame to sill, these create a seamless, elegant appearance ideal for living rooms and master bedrooms. Our craftsmen reinforce each panel with hidden steel braces for flawless operation.

Independent upper and lower panels offer ultimate flexibility – keep the bottom section closed for privacy while opening the top for sunlight. Perfect for street-facing windows in London townhouses.

Covering only the lower half of your window, these maintain privacy while flooding rooms with natural light. A North London favorite for kitchen diners and ground-floor extensions. See how similar treatments enhance light control in real homes.

4. Tracked Shutters

Sliding panels on discreet ceiling tracks maximize space around French doors and bay windows. We use industrial-grade rollers rated for 100,000+ operations.
