The Perfect Privacy-Light Balance

Cafe style shutters are the smart way to get ground-level privacy without sacrificing a drop of natural light – ideal for Westbury homes where street views meet sunny skies.

They're Britain's favourite half-height shutter for one simple reason: they solve real problems beautifully. Cover just the bottom portion of your window to block prying eyes, while the top stays completely open for bright, airy rooms all day long.

But don't think "practical" means plain. Our cafe style collection offers endless customisation:

  • Elegant louvre sizes from 63mm to 89mm for your perfect view
  • Premium materials like hardwood for warmth or waterproof ABS for moisture-prone spots
  • Hundreds of paint colours and wood stains to match your décor – from crisp whites to rich oaks
  • Hidden tilt rods for a clean, modern look or traditional centre rods for heritage charm

Every shutter is made to measure in the UK, delivered and fitted by our local Wiltshire experts (no subcontractors). That means millimetre-perfect alignment with your sash rail, no gaps, no hassle, and a full 5-year guarantee as standard.

Child-safe and cordless by design. Easy to clean with a simple dust. Built to last 20+ years.

Whether you have a bustling town centre terrace in Westbury, a period property in Warminster, or a cottage overlooking Trowbridge streets, cafe style shutters deliver that Parisian bistro elegance – perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question about our blinds and shutters? Start here.

Are cafe style shutters suitable for sash windows?

Yes, cafe style shutters are perfect for Victorian or Georgian sash windows common in Wiltshire homes, aligning neatly with the meeting rail for seamless integration. They maintain the period charm while providing privacy. Book a free measure and quote to ensure perfect fit.

Do cafe style shutters block light in living rooms?

Cafe style shutters provide targeted privacy without blocking upper light, making them ideal for living rooms. Tilt the louvres for adjustable control or add linings for dimming. Experience it firsthand – schedule a free consultation with samples.

Do you provide home consultations in Wiltshire and Somerset?

Yes, we provide a full 'shop-at-home' service across Westbury, Trowbridge, Frome, and the surrounding villages. We bring the samples to you so you can see the fabrics in your own natural light.

Why should I choose professional measuring over DIY?

Windows are rarely perfectly square, especially in older Wiltshire properties. Our professional measuring service accounts for "run-out," handle clearance, and recess depth. By letting us measure and fit, you eliminate the risk of ordering the wrong size and ensure a seamless, rattle-free installation.
