Wooden windows shutters are overlooked with impunity and it has left many interior designers baffled as to why we are not getting on board with this useful, practical and elegant form of window décor.

The natural solution is to go for curtains or even blinds for your window treatments. However, wooden shutters offer an attractive alternative – particularly in the towns and villages of Essex & London.

Moreover, Essex homeowners demand practicality. So, window shutters can provide this by offering good sound insulation and a great way of blocking out the glaring sun when you need to use a computer or watch television by day.

You can even have the windows open to let the cooler air in, while having the window shutters closed to maintain privacy and keep the room fresh and ventilated.
