Attention to detail goes beyond our design process through to the personal service we provide to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

Huntsmore project managed the design and build of this large two bedroom apartment in Kensington. As part of a purpose built block, the design had to be sympathetic to the property’s age and surroundings.

The full renovation project involved the design of a fully integrated shaker style deVOL kitchen and two bathrooms.

The White Collection, traditional plantation shutters, gives the kitchen a hint of a traditional look but with an overall modern feel. An acrylic paint finish on our shutters provides an additional moisture barrier for areas exposed to moisture or water.

Compared to a variety of other window coverings, shutters are surprisingly easy to manage. With an occasional dust down – shutters stay clean. As opposed to other window coverings options like curtains for example which are open to stains, smells, deterioration and can present a breeding ground for dust mites, there are many benefits of shutters all contributing to a low maintenance home.

Smart investing
Do shutters add value to your home? This is a frequently asked question when adding different fixtures to your home. We can confidently say yes, beautifully made high quality shutters do! High quality solid wood shutters are a highly desirable asset on the housing market; they add to that all-important kerb appeal govern privacy and help to create atmosphere in your room!

Size
Shutters can come in a variety of shapes and sizes each designed to mold seamlessly to the size of your windows, doors and = lights. We design and manufacture custom handmade shutters to all requirements in any home to help create that all-important unique character.

Maximum control
Shutters, unlike curtains and other window coverings they create complete control for the user. Shutter louvres can be angled to the direction you desire to enable you to control the light and privacy in your room.

Built to last
We source only the finest grade of timber from environmentally responsible suppliers. Our Tulipwood comes from the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern New England region of America. Our shutters are crafted by dedicated highly skilled craftsmen who lovingly hand sand and hand spray each piece of timber to give a fine furniture grade finish. Its this attention to detail which allows you to see the beautiful wood grain on the final finish of each shutter. We do not use laminate or finger joints when assembling our shutters.

Keeping things private
One major benefit of adding shutters to your home is privacy. Shutter louvres can be easily adjusted to your privacy needs. If you live at street level, angling your louvres downwards will block the view to inside your home but will still allow light and air flow.

Heat and sound insulation
Shutter louvres can be angled to enable you to dictate how much light enters each room, which in turn lets you control the amount of heat, draught and noise. This can be extremely helpful when trying to cool your home down on a bright summer’s day or to stay warm on a winter’s day. One great advantage to shutters is the simplicity of operating the shutter rod or just a touch of a finger to allow you find exactly the light/heat you prefer and are happy with. We are often asked if shutters can be subject to light damage, all of our shutters are hand finished with an invisible UV protective layer, which prevents any fading or any warping.

Making your home elegant
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, solid wood shutters create an unrivalled elegance in a home. With so many design and style options, from leather and suede to the more traditional Victorian styles, with the fine combination of luxury and durability, there’s no wonder why our shutters are the first choice for architects, designers, discerning homeowners and commercial clients.

Whilst you may currently be happy living in your home, there could come a time when you want to sell up and move somewhere else. If this is true for you, then there is a good chance that you are going to want to make sure that you maximise the amount of money that your home could make if you sold it.

There are of course numerous ways you can improve your property to try and add some additional value to your home. One such interior décor area that may not instantly come to mind but one that really provides a chic and elegant finishing touch to any room are beautiful interior shutters. This instant transformation of a room is easy for the experts to achieve. Here are some reasons why shutters can help add value to your home:

They improve kerb appeal
When it comes to viewing a property, first impressions are going to prove key. You will want to make sure that those people coming to view your home instantly love what they see; from the moment that they get out of their car this will be the expectation and lasting impression they will carry into the house. One way that you can do this is to take a good look at the exterior of your home and judge what kerb appeal your property has. Installing shutters is simply a great way to achieve this, not only do shutters look stylish but they also add an instant sense of luxury.

They can help the rooms to seem more spacious
Heading inside a house, shutters can really help with the look and feel of the rooms. You are going to want to make sure that your home appears airy, light and spacious, without having blinding light let into each room. Shutters allow you to easily control the amount of light that is let in which means that you can make sure that the room is illuminated and shown off to just the right level and its best advantages.

They increase security and privacy
Everyone wants to feel secure in their own home and one key aspect for us all is to protect our privacy where ever possible. Shutters are a great way of achieving this. You can close them partially or by section and completely when you feel the need to. This means that you are going to feel secure and private in your own home, which is exactly the reason why many people find them

They are durable
When you are buying a property, you want to make sure that the fixtures and fittings that are included with the property are to the best quality. If you invest in solid wood shutters for your windows, then you are likely to find that they are long lasting and designed to stand the test of time. This is a sure fire way to appeal to potential buyers and make sure that they are interested in your property.

Wood Shutters are a great addition to your home. Not only whilst you are living there, but also as you look at selling up and moving onto a new home.

Over recent years it seems that bespoke interior shutters are becoming increasingly popular, with many people preferring the convenience and style of shutters over traditional window coverings such as curtains and blinds. Not only do made-to-measure shutters look great, with a myriad of colours and styles available, but they also have a wide range of other benefits that can improve the functionality of your home.

Internal shutters hold numerous benefits. The most obvious benefit must be their ability to block out excess noise and light as well as increasing the level of privacy and security in your home. Additionally, interior shutters will help to improve both insulation and ventilation in a property; this will help to keep your home warmer in the winter months, locking in warmth and preventing the loss of heat through windows. Similarly, shutters have their benefits in the summer season, allowing a flow of air throughout your home while still maintaining a level of privacy, the ability to adjust the amount of direct sunlight into your room and of course security, which you would not have with an open window, curtains, or blinds.

In addition to practical benefits, interior shutters can be the perfect stylish finishing touch to your home’s interior; a beautiful complement to a variety of décor aesthetics. With a bespoke shutter service, you have an even wider choice of styles; such as traditional Café shutters covering just the lower part of your windows through to full height, solid panels. There are a variety of finishes and textures also offered for your shutters too; from natural woods, paint finishes, fabric panels and even faux leather or suede coverings, you can complete your home with a truly unique and personal touch.

Your shutters can be as individual to you as your home.
