Spring is coming and it is absolutely wonderful to be able to see a little light on the horizon in the news and streaming in through our windows. As we look ahead to lockdown restrictions slowly but surely being lifted over the course of the next few months and start to look ahead to better times and brighter weather to come, it’s high time that we start making good on some of those promises that we made to ourselves about what we’re finally going to change in our homes.
Because let’s face it: we’ve all had more than enough time over the course of the last year or so to decide that we would like to make some changes around the house. Indeed, people of all ages have said that home improvement is at the top of their to-do list right now. They could be a project that we have been putting off for years, or a change brought about simply because we have grown tired of looking at our curtains. Whatever the reason, we could all use a little positivity heading forward and a nice home improvement project is always a great way to bring in that spring feeling.
If you are thinking about giving your home a facelift, bay window shutters are a wonderful idea. We have all moved into a home and noticed that the previous occupant or landlord seems to have lost all control when putting up their curtain rail or wished that their choice of curtains could let in a little more light, or a little less. But shutters aren’t just about giving you that extra bit of flexibility when it comes to letting light into your home. Shutters bring an inimitable sense of elegance and class to your home, that can either speak to cool understatement or handsome warmth, and at the Oxford Shutter Company, we have styles for every room and every style.
Why Bay Window Shutters?
There’s no denying that bay windows are a huge selling point when you’re looking at buying a new home. No one ever sat in their front room and wished that they didn’t have bay windows. However, as wonderful a feature as they are, it is also true that they can be rather tricky to fit a curtain to because of their shape. A poorly fitted curtain for your bay window will leave you with unsatisfactory lighting and may well lose you a tremendous amount of insulation.
And this is where bay window shutters come in. While fitting curtains to a space can be tricky and time-consuming, shutters can be custom fitted to ensure security and insulation at absolutely no cost to the aesthetics of your home. Shutters are also so much more practical for the bay window space than curtains, allowing you to adjust the panels depending on how you are feeling about light and privacy at any given moment. They give you the freedom to tweak and the opportunity to make every room look its best.
Starting With The Basics
We all know that bay windows speak to a classically British style; there is something wonderfully classical about a good bay window. However, when it comes to the shutters, you can pick the style and the colour that speaks to you, that matches your personal vision for your home. Say you’re all about practicality, that you’re looking for a model of shutter that is simple, easy to clean, and robust. In that case, our MDF-made Antigua shutter may be for you, perhaps in a crisp linen colour or a silk white.
On the other hand, maybe you want more versatility from your shutters, with panels that are durable but lightweight. Our Bermuda shutter comes with an incredible range of options to choose from and is made from a blend of ABS louvers and an MDF frame. Perhaps you’re looking for something in hardwood? Well, if you want a blend of practicality and style, our Cuba shutter is available in four different louvre sizes, in twenty-three different colours, and it’s surprisingly affordable given the quality of the material (a blend of MDF frames and hardwood panels).
Elegance And Sustainability
Then again, you may want to go straight for the top of the line. Made from premium White Teak hardwood, which is not only one of the finest timbers to be found on this planet but which is also ethical and sustainable, our Samoa shutter is a fantastic shutter option that we are incredibly proud of. You can choose from 20 stain colours, 28 stylish painted colours, six louvre options, and a range of special shapes and solid panels. And speaking of ethical materials, our Fiji shutter is a 100% wooden shutter that is made from Paulownia. That’s a rapidly growing hardwood material that has a truly outstanding strength to weight ratio, and this shutter comes in 27 different stain colours, 23 specially painted colours, seven different louvre styles and those special shapes and solid panels.
Matching The Shutter To The Room
Of course, one of the most important things to consider when you’re choosing bay window shutters for your home is where that room is, and if there are any particular requirements. If you’re looking for bay window shutters for your bathroom or kitchen, for example, we would recommend the Java shutter. It’s made from ABS, but you would never know that it’s plastic. This is a quality material that is far superior to cheaper vinyl shutters, and it is 100% waterproof, so you’ll never have to worry about condensation. It’s also durable and surprisingly lightweight.
At The Oxford Shutter Company, we know that every door and window is unique and has its own special requirements, which is why we take the time to carry out a full consultation to assess your needs and expectations. We’ll make sure that every measurement is carefully taken, and we have the experience to make sure that we’re prepared for any surprises that may arise. We also pride ourselves on being a family-run business that knows the importance of a personal touch. We are here to answer any questions or concerns that you may have and to be with you every step of the way. Whether you’re looking for Café Style shutters for stylish privacy or skylight shutters to replace those tired roller blinds, we have a style for everyone.
