Interior window shutters

Options
Can anyone recommend a good window shutter company?
I did look at diy shutters on "Blinds 2 go" but my Windows are too big for their sizes.
Also, can anyone advise the sort of cost for 2 Windows 8 ft wide x 4 ft deep?

    I used Shutterly Fabulous and they were great to deal with and really good quality shutters. I have a large Victorian bay window and the shutters cost me £1400

    Are you wanting wood type plantation Shutters?

    we used diyshutters, you have to install yourself but they are so easy to do - basically drill 8 holes and lift on and screw in. I’m terrible at diy and I installed all ours but you could get a handyman to do it 

    Everyone loves them when they come over and we were quoted far more than this cost for a company to do it all for us

    Yes,plantation shutters but the softly painted ones.
    I looked at the diy ones at "blinds to go" but my windows were too wide.
    There was also a question about making sure the windows were square when measuring up. (Don't  know if mine are!)

    I will have a look at diyshutters. Thanks!

    The two private furnishing shops here do shutters and they come from some other companies.
    I'd be inclined to go into such a place and enquire - then ask the make or look at any literature with them. May not help but may be the start of a new search. Also they will tell you if they can supply the size you want.
    I thought I could do it cheaper online but on checking the price was much the same but with free fitting locally.
    I've not found the individual shops to be that much more expensive for bespoke than online and they are the ones to get the agrivation if they are tricky to put in :)

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well
