Shutters on Leaded Windows
I have diamond leaded bay windows and I would like shutters. Would they look ok? I’ve seen a few pictures online but not many. Would appreciate anyone’s opinion before I invest money in these.

5 months agoHow lovely are shutters? I want to have them on my leaded bay window once the curtains have had it. I’ve found some images for you and hope these will help.

Comments (1)Hiya, It's hard to say without a picture, but if your top windows feature attractive stained glass, you might like to show this off. Cafe style shutters cover only the bottom half of the window the provide privacy without swamping your feature window. Cafe style shutters pictured below. If you'd prefer something full height, then Wooden blinds are a lovely, contemporary choice. If you add tape to these instead of cords, they even create an attractive shutter-style effect at a more affordable price. Hope that helps - let me know if you'd like any more advice.

Comments (28)Hi HU-849894587 If you are unsure about Shutters, another product that we see a lot of people selecting when they have windows like yourself is Venetian blinds. Like with Shutters, they come in a wide variety of dark and light colours as well as louvre sizes to allow you to control light and privacy in your home. A feature that is also incredibly popular is adding tapes to the blind; this finishing touch looks great not only inside your home but also outside for people passing by. Hope that helps. Any other questions, let us know and we'll try and answer for you. Matt...See MoreWould like window shutters but what would go with brown upvc windows?
Comments (8)I think you'll have to go with white or whatever looks best indoors in those rooms. You can always think about getting the windows colour bonded at some point instead of replacing them. Then you can choose any colour for those inside and out! You can paint UPVC yourself - All of our windows inside are painted the same colour as the walls in those rooms so that the windows blend into the walls. They were dark brown / mahogany ( vile ) - Outside they are all sage green. If you're going to paint the frames inside which will brighten the rooms and let you have whatever colour shutters you like, use Zinsser 1-2-3 primer and then paint away....See MoreDressing diamond lead Windows
Comments (6)In my experience - these type of windows work well with curtains that, when open, sit on the wall not in front of the window - or Roman blinds positioned above the window, high enough for the folds to be on the wall not in the window. This is because, due to the lead, these windows let in less daylight than ordinary windows - so you need to make the best of any light that does come in by not covering with fabric - so oversized rods and more fabric if doing curtains and longer romans! Looks a fab home ! Good luck with the move ! (Come and find me on Houzz if you need a concept planner for interior layouts etc ! )...See Moreminnie101

5 months agoI have a 1930s house with rectangular leaded windows- one bay and one straight. Both have shutters. I honestly don’t notice a clash. Having said that, I’m not sure I would feel the same if we had diamond leaded windows.
I would be hesitant changing part of a window to plain glass as I think this would look more odd from the outside.
I attach pictures of mine for reference.
