Shutters on the beach but in Islington N1

Sunday Express – Feb 2011

The nautical styled shutters in this Sunday Express supplement are from a beach themed Shutterly Fabulous photo shoot in Islington N1. The shutters are a light blue colour and tie in with the nautical theme. Shutters give clean lines and definitely add the finishing touch to a room more so than any other window dressing. Drapes and blinds are a little dated and nothing can encapsulate that nautical theme better than beach style shutters. The feature article in the Sunday Express was actually tailored around the shutter image we provided.

Lots of people ask whether shutters will take away the light, after all you are putting a wooden product up at your window. However you can see with these wooden shutters in Islington N1, the room is light and airy. Light blue window shutters help to reflect light into the room not darken it. Shutters are designed so that they let in lots of light. The light will reflect off of the bright paint finish and disperse throughout the room. These window shutters in Islington have 64mm slats in the paneling of the shutters. Smaller slats mean you get more slats in the shutter set giving a rustic more traditional look. You can view another example of blue shutters in this French inspired house. Opting for larger slats in a shutter set means that there are bigger gaps between the slats, so when the window shutters slats are tilted wide open you can achieve a more open view to the outside.

Shutters tend to have either a Push Rod down the front of the panels to open and close the slats or a Hidden Rod. Shutters without pushrods mean once again that there is a more open view out to the outside. This Hidden Rod option is often called Open Sky or Clear View. Either front facing pushrods or the hidden rod option will be fine for allowing you to create that nautical, shutters on the beach look – even if you do live if Islington!
