Where did you get the shutter blinds from? Are they any good or do they make the room dark?

Hi

Thank you for your interest.

These shutters are very popular with our clients , they do not darken the room and can be fully opened as the images shows.

We offer a service where we measure, supply and fit if you are interested

Regards.

Hi Shu. I think your colours work well. You can colour match F&B or just buy Dulux Dusted Moss 2 which is very similar and perhaps slightly nicer (I have cornforth btw!) I would also bring in a little white for the bed and a slightly darker grey to balance the mustard. Re layout, once the rad is moved (would try to blend the colour into the ŵall) perhaps centre the bed and move the chest down so you lose that little empty corner. It looks as if it won't be an issue with the door? I'm not so keen on the shelf idea, it looks a little claustrophobic and you may end up hitting your head all the time. I also think you have enough interest with the gallery ŵall. I can't quite see the duvet, are they magnolias? If so Oka do a little bunch of fake magnolia with something else in that would look nice on the chest or bedside. Perhaps a bigger table lamp or 2. As you've also got a wood floor I would just look at adding different textures for cushions, curtains etc

Hi lu9349 This is a really pretty window feature and I think that the addition of a window seat is an excellent idea here. Take a look at how we have styled this window seat area below using translucent dim out fabric. If you're going for a Hampton's/French provincial look I suggest the following swatches. Soft White above. Below Meadow Spring [ties in with your stained glass tint], Spring White Twig. Bloc Blinds range fit perfectly to the windows they are designed for. This allows easy installation of the blinds in minutes with no specialised equipment. We have a range of plain and pattern blackout and dim out fabrics to suit any window and you will find that additional curtains and shutters will be unnecessary. The blind can be fitted on the edge of the window recess or inside the recess providing a clean and stylish aesthetic in your bedroom. For further advice or support on how to install don’t hesitate to contact our team at info@blocblinds.com and we’ll be happy to help. Good Luck! Síle

SHUTTERS AND CHILDREN: A WINNING COMBINATION

Tips for a stress free school year and the benefits of interior plantation shutters As a mother of four (now grown-up) children, I know the feeling only too well; the end of a long summer, filled with friends, excitement and holidays - energy levels begin to drop! I remember needing to delve deep into the energy reserves just to get them ready for the new term, new shoes, clothes, pens and pencils the list is endless. Finally the day arrives, the children go back and a mix of emotions well up - relief and the empty missing feeling, I was lucky in that I always had my fifth child; The Shutter Shop, to keep me going! As owner of The Shutter Shop, an interior shutter company which I set up when my eldest was only five, almost thirty years ago, I knew that the juggling of work and holidays puts even the most energetic and organised of mothers to the test! Going back to work to focus on selling interior shutters and wooden venetian blinds into the London shutter market, gave me a different set of questions to think about but this time from interior designers and retail customers. I was replacing times tables with CAD drawings, spelling and grammar with panel configurations and geography questions with colour charts. Even though the kids may have gone back to school they are still at the forefront of every parent’s mind so I thought I would share my experience of some of the most common questions I get when discussing shutters, blinds and children. SHUTTERS, A DARKER ROOM AND A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP If your children are anything like mine, the moment the sun is up, they are up! While there were cost benefits over other window solutions, all my children had shutters in their rooms growing up. Shutters block out about 97% of the light coming through the window on their own, but what I wouldn’t have given for our integrated blackout blinds to have been invented twenty something years ago! GAME PROOF SHUTTERS I have been extremely fortunate that my son Ben (now 30) joined The Shutter Shop 18 months ago. He is now fully in control and running and growing our business with energy, but as the keen sportsman in his youth, he really put the robustness of our product to the test. Over the years any ball you can name has hit our shutters at some point during their life span. While I would love to say that our louvres can stand up to a rugby ball being hurtled at them, alas that is not the case and we have had to replace louvres in our shutters as we have for many customers. Fear not though it is possible and is much easier than you might think! However, they do take a fair bit of rough and rumble and I often have customers coming into replace shutters after fifteen years of use and while the guarantee is three years, the quality of the product means they will last! CHILD SAFETY FIRST The safety of children is of paramount importance to us and great care is taken to ensure that no toxic materials are used in the production of our shutters and that all our products adhere to strict government guidelines but we now have the ability to add key locks to shutters to give added security and as all our blinds come with child safety mechanisms they should give some peace of mind! CONTROLLING THE LIGHT FOR STUDY Today, children of all ages use computers on a daily basis from playing games to home work and revising for exams. Extensive viewing of the computer screen can lead to eye discomfort, fatigue, blurred vision and other symptoms of eyestrain. These symptoms may be caused by poor lighting, glare, an improper work station set-up. Ideally, the computer screen should be positioned in a way so that windows are not in front or behind it, but on its side. Also the adjustment of the interior light can make a big difference. Interior window shutters are our best allies, because they control the natural light in the room easing the strain on the eyes with just a small amount of effort like adjusting the louvres. Just a simple precaution can help to reinforce the appropriate viewing habits and assure that there is less strain on the eyes. I hope these little pointers helps those who, like me, are constantly thinking about their children, but don’t worry unduly and when the children go back to school make sure you enjoy the space and do something that YOU want to do! Your energy levels will need topping up before you know it they will be back again! Working and having children can be very tough, especially during the long holidays, but the rewards and confidence that it gives any person as an individual is enormous. I would like to think that I have always had a great relationship with all my children and they are now all my best friends and we have fun together.

Hi there, in general, no they will not impact on light at all, if anything they may help the light flood the room. However many things need to be taken into account, for example the colour of the shutter, the size of the louvres, exactly how and were the shutter frame will be fitted. All of these questions need to be answered by a specialist. Shutters have gained huge popularity over the past few years, and we have noticed that the number of businesses trying to make a mark in the market is increasing. The issue is that shutters are incredibly difficult to install and design correctly if you have little experience, our advice is to find a local company that has years of experience in this field. Ask to see previous work, and google them for reviews. If it helps please browse our own website for more inspiration and tips. www.cpshutters.co.uk hope that helps!
