We recently completed a made-to-measure bedroom shutter installation — a dark-green bedroom where a roller blind was doing a job, but not as neatly as the homeowners wanted.
The brief
The room has a wide casement looking onto neighbouring houses and trees, deep forest-green walls and a radiator under the sill. The existing white roller blind gave basic shading, but it left the recess looking unfinished and offered limited control — either mostly up or mostly down, with little in between for daytime privacy.
The homeowners wanted a fitted look that still let the garden light in, with the option to close the lower half for privacy while keeping the top open. Full-height plantation shutters with independent upper and lower louvre control were the right answer.
Before
After
Three white shutter panels were fitted neatly inside the recess, aligned with the window frames. The louvres can be tilted independently above and below the mid-rail — so the view stays open at the top while the lower section closes for privacy.
Key details from this project:
- Full-height white plantation shutters across a wide casement
- Independent louvre control for privacy below and daylight above
- Inside-recess fit for a clean, built-in look
- Measured, manufactured and fitted by our own team
Why homeowners choose bedroom shutters
Bedrooms need privacy without blacking out the view. Plantation shutters suit that brief because they:
- Look fitted, not temporary like a roller blind
- Control light and privacy without fabric that collects dust
- Work on uPVC and timber casements when measured properly
- Last for years with a wipe-clean finish
We survey and fit across Leicestershire, Melton Mowbray, Loughborough and the wider East Midlands. Browse more completed jobs on our Recent Work page.

Every Shutter Envy set is measured on site, made to order and installed by our own fitters — the same approach we use for faux wood, hardwood and aluminium projects.
