What is the difference between shutter blinds and plantation shutters?

The terms are often used interchangeably. ‘Plantation shutters’ originally referred to the wide-louvred style popular on colonial-era estates, while ‘shutter blinds’ is a broader term covering all interior shutters with adjustable slats. At The Oxford Shutter Company, all our shutter blinds are made to measure and offer the same premium aesthetic and functionality as plantation shutters.
