A stylish and chic alternative to nets and curtains, shutters offer you complete control over the amount of light you let into a room. A favourite of mine, Shaftesbury Blinds & Shutters, has a huge range of affordable shutter styles to choose from in a range of designs and finishes.  But what sets Shaftesbury above its competitors is the unique colour matching service for both wood blinds and shutters that it offers, blending these  perfectly with your home.

On this day in 1923, the BBC broadcast its first ever weather forecast. Fast-forward a few decades, and even though we now have hourly updates, out beloved British weather remains as unpredictable as ever. Plantation Shutters are a perfect way to deal with our capricious climes, allowing you shut out the grey, and let in the light.

Timber plantation shutters are a firm design favourite for the style conscious everywhere: The clean, elegant designs instantly transform and update any interior creating a sense of light and space.

Quality wood shutters not only enhance the overall appearance and design-look of your home, but can also add to value to your property. A specialist in this area, Shaftesbury Blinds & Shutters  have options to suit most looks and budgets – and is currently holding a January sale offering up to 50 per cent off selected shutter ranges.

Vancouver Shutters are reduced from £440 to £220 per square metre, Phoenix Shutters are reduced to just £188 per square metre, and the Phoenix Blinds down from £105 to £89.25 per square metre (excludes fitting).
