Shutterly Fabulous’ collection of plantation shutters has been featured regularly in the pages of this magazine and once again in the February 2009 edition of Living Etc, Shutterly Fabulous shutters were commended as being among the best plantation shutters found on the web.

With shutters showing no signs of declining in popularity Living Etc regularly features homes in London, Brighton, and other urban areas of the UK which have plantation shutters. Shutters offer unrivalled flexibility in both the look they create within a room and how they can offer different functionality, depending on the panel configuration chosen.

Tier on tier shutters are a very typical design of plantation shutters, featured on many traditional Victorian bay windows as seen in many of the streets of Clapham, Fulham, Battersea and other London enclaves. Tier on tier shutters refers to the design of panels where the top section of panels opening separately from the lower section of shutter panels. The idea is that you can fold back the top shutters and leave the lower shutters in place, with louvers tilted giving privacy from people walking past. With many London homes having their windows close to the road, having the lower panels in situ, while folding open the top set of shutters is a wonderful feature to maximise the light entering the room.
