It’s great that you’ve decided to get shutters, but you’ve still got a few decisions to make. Specifically, choosing the right shutter colour or finish for your space. This of course all depends on your interior design, lifestyle, and even the room they’re for.
From the classic brilliance of white shutters to rustic wood stains, deciding how to finish shutters has a massive impact. Luckily, Purely Shutters has a range of shutter colours for you to choose from. To give you a hand with your decision, here’s a breakdown of what offer.
1. Classic White Shutters – Timeless and Versatile
White shutters are our bestseller because they’re so versatile. White goes with any colour scheme, from bold and bright to soft and understated. Whether you have brilliant bright walls or a more neutral palette, white shutters will add a crisp, clean look. Plus, their smooth finish means they’re easy to keep clean, making them suitable for any room in the home.
2. Grey Shutters – Modern and Sophisticated
Grey shutters are perfect if you’re after a more contemporary look. It works particularly well in spaces that lean toward minimalist or industrial styles. They complement a wide range of wall colours too, including whites, blues, and even darker tones like navy or forest green. Just like our white shutters, grey shutters come in a smooth, easy-to-clean finish.
3. Limewashed Shutters – Natural and Textured
Limewash shutters have a unique, textured finish that brings warmth and character to any space. It bring a slightly rustic, natural feel, with the texture highlighting the wood’s natural grain. It’s perfect for interiors with a coastal, country, or Scandinavian aesthetic. They truly come alive alongside natural materials like wood, rattan, or stone, making them an excellent choice for anywhere you want to create a cosy vibe. However, if your limewashed shutters will be in a space where they might be exposed to sticky fingers, keep in mind that this finish requires a little extra care than its smoother counterparts.
4. Wood-Stained Shutters – Warmth and Depth
Stained shutters are a great way to add warmth and depth to your interior. Wood-stained shutters invite a touch of the rustic into your home, working especially well in spaces with lots of natural textures, like exposed beams or hardwood floors, or alongside earthy tones like olive green, tan, and terracotta. Our stained finishes bring out the beauty of the wood grain, making these shutters a real feature piece in any room.
5. Custom Colour Shutters – For a Personalised Touch
If you’ve had a look at our shutter colours but want something that’s a little more bespoke, there’s a solution for that. Our custom colour service lets you choose from hundreds of shades. Want a bright pop of colour to liven up the lounge? Or maybe you’d like a soft pastel shade for a nursery? No problem. Just remember that when choosing a bold shutter colour, it’s important to consider the effect on the entire space.
6. Polyvinyl and Faux Wood – Durable and Waterproof
For kitchens, bathrooms, or any humid space, polyvinyl and UK-made faux wood shutters are perfect. Completely waterproof, they’ll stand up to a steamy shower room just as well as sticky kitchen spills. Both come in a smooth, low-maintenance finish, bringing practicality and style in equal measure. The waterproof finish also makes them a smart choice for homes with little ones or pets, as they’re less prone to marks and scratches.
