Hi
We are looking to purchase some plantation shutters for 2 bay windows and wondered if anyone has any recommendations for companies who design and install them? We are based in SE London. Any other tips re style, material etc, gratefully received.
Thanks

Hi Starpoodle,
Why don't you call in to your nearest John Lewis? When I was last in store, they had shutters with all their blinds and curtains so I imagine they will do a design and fitting service too. They may not be the cheapest but you know the quality and service will be second to none.
I was thinking of having shutters for my front windows but have decided to park the idea due to cost. While they're beautiful, they were going to cost more than my budget, so I've gone for venetian blinds this time.
Personally, I think the best colour for shutters is going to be white, as it will go with any style of interior. The dark wood ones may seem too oppressive, depending on the size of room. Also, I thought if they're painted white, you could easily touch up any small chips, rather than having to sand down a scratch on a dark wood shutter.0
