Whilst shutters can never be described as a blackout product in themselves, we have one trick up our sleeves that all but eradicates the need to raise the question in the first place. Particularly relevant to bedrooms or children’s nurseries, where a south facing window treated with shutters alone can often generate a filtered light source that can be unhelpful, even when fully closed. To solve this, we can incorporate a discreet (but optional) blackout blind which can be installed In conjunction with the shutters to deal with this particular issue. The only proviso is that the shutter mounting frame depth has to be sized to accommodate the 20mm blind that will fit within it. When the blind is up, it is virtually invisible, hidden behind the top rail of the shutters. When it is needed, it can be drawn down behind the shutters removing all traces of light that would otherwise filter in between the louvers themselves and the joints between the louvers and side stiles. Usually a tensioned blind is utilised which means that no cords are necessary. This makes this particular option extremely well suited to a child’s room where safety is always the primary focus but function remains uncompromised. Your design consultant will provide you with all the information you need to see if this option is right for you.

Set within the Carlton Square Conservation Area in East London, this two-storey end of terrace period property suffered from a lack of natural light, low ceiling heights and a disconnection to the garden at the rear. The clients preference for an industrial aesthetic along with an assortment of antique fixtures and fittings acquired over many years were an integral factor whilst forming the brief. Steel windows and polished concrete feature heavily, allowing the enlarged living area to be visually connected to the garden with internal floor finishes continuing externally. Floor to ceiling glazing combined with large skylights help define areas for cooking, eating and reading whilst maintaining a flexible open plan space. This simple yet detailed project located within a prominent Conservation Area required a considered design approach, with a reduced palette of materials carefully selected in response to the existing building and it’s context.
