Café Style Shutters
Café style shutters are a brilliant way to keep your privacy while still letting in loads of natural light. Covering just the bottom half of your window, they’re stylish, practical and perfect for ground floor rooms where you want to block out passers-by without losing the daylight.
At Sublime Shutters, we supply and fit café style shutters across Stockport, Greater Manchester and Cheshire. We bring our expert service and down-to-earth advice to homes across the region.
What Are Café Style Shutters?
Inspired by the classic shutters you see in continental cafés, this style covers only the lower section of your window, leaving the top completely open. They’re especially popular for street-facing rooms where you want to stop people looking in, but still enjoy the view and the natural light.
They give a fresh, open feel to any space and work particularly well in kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms and even home offices where you want a bit of privacy without losing the bright, airy atmosphere.
Why Choose Café Style?
Café style shutters aren’t just about looks (though they’re definitely easy on the eye). They’re loved by homeowners because they give you privacy where you need it, while still letting light pour in through the upper half of the window. They’re perfect for downstairs spaces that face the street, helping you feel less exposed without closing off the room. These shutters also suit a wide range of homes, from Victorian terraces to modern flats, and they’re a great way to make smaller spaces feel brighter and more open.
Designed for Your Windows, Made for Your Home
Every café style shutter we fit is custom-made to suit the exact size and shape of your windows. We don’t do one-size-fits-all, and that’s why the end result always looks so clean and seamless. When you work with us, we start with a free home consultation where we’ll take careful measurements and talk you through your options. After that, we’ll return for a tidy, professional installation and we’re always around if you need follow-up support or care advice.
Why they work so well
Café style shutters are a favourite because they strike such a good balance. You get privacy where it counts without shutting off your view or losing the light. The open top section makes the room feel spacious and airy, while the shuttered bottom brings character and structure to your window. They’re easy to clean too, usually just a quick dust or wipe, not to mention they’re low maintenance, with no cords or fiddly bits to worry about.
They also suit almost any room. We’ve seen them used in bay-fronted living rooms, ground floor kitchens and even upstairs bedrooms where the homeowner wanted a bit more openness with a stylish twist.
Finishes to Match Your Style
Whether you’re into bright whites, soft greys or rich wood tones, we’ve got a wide range of finishes to suit your space. Many people opt for neutral tones to keep things light and bright, but if you’ve got a bold colour scheme or want your shutters to be a statement feature, we can help you find the perfect match. We’ve fitted them in everything from classic interiors to sleek, modern builds and the finish is always tailored to suit.
