Café Style Shutters – Perfect Balance of Privacy and Light
Café style shutters are becoming a popular choice for homeowners who want a stylish, practical solution for their windows. These shutters cover only the lower half of your window, offering privacy where you need it most, while allowing natural light to flood through the top. Perfect for kitchens, living rooms, and street-facing windows, café style shutters give you control over privacy without compromising on brightness.
Many of our customers are pairing café style shutters with curtains to create a layered, sophisticated look. This combination offers the best of both worlds: privacy from the shutters and a soft, decorative finish with curtains to enhance your room’s style. Whether you’re looking to create a cozy, intimate setting or want a modern, minimalist feel, café style shutters provide a versatile solution.
At Lloyds Blinds, we specialize in custom-made café style wood shutters that fit your home’s unique design. Whether you’re in Anglesey, North Wales, Wrexham, Cheshire, or the Wirral, our team will ensure your shutters are expertly measured and installed for a perfect fit.

FAQ
What are window shutters?
Shutters are made-to-measure window coverings with adjustable louvres (slats) set within a solid frame. They’re stylish, durable, and offer excellent control over light, privacy, and insulation. They’re fitted permanently to the window, giving a timeless and elegant look.
Can I use shutters in bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes — but for humid environments, we recommend faux wood shutters. They won’t warp or crack when exposed to moisture or steam, making them perfect for bathrooms, wet rooms, and over kitchen sinks.
Are shutters energy efficient?
Yes. Both wood and faux wood shutters act as a natural insulator, helping to keep heat in during winter and out during summer. This can reduce energy bills and make your home more comfortable year-round.
What shutter styles are available?
At Lloyds Blinds, we offer a wide range of styles including:
- Full Height Shutters – cover the entire window for a clean, modern look
- Tier-on-Tier Shutters – top and bottom panels open independently for flexible light control
- Café Style Shutters – cover the lower half of the window, ideal for privacy with natural light
- Tracked or Shaped Shutters – perfect for doors, bays, and unique window shapes
Can shutters increase home value?
Absolutely. High-quality shutters are seen as a premium, permanent upgrade, adding kerb appeal, energy efficiency, and value to your home.
Do shutters help with noise reduction?
Yes — shutters can help reduce outside noise by adding an extra solid barrier to your windows. This is especially noticeable with double glazing.
How much do shutters cost?
Prices vary depending on window size, material, quantity and style. As all our shutters are custom made, we offer free home consultations and quotes to give you an exact cost before you decide.
Do your shutters come with a warranty?
Yes. All Lloyds Blinds shutters come with a 10 year guarantee for quality, finish, and installation — giving you peace of mind that they’re built to last.
What’s the difference between wood and faux wood shutters?
Real wood shutters are crafted from genuine timber, offering a natural grain and luxurious finish — ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and feature windows.
Faux wood shutters are made from advanced PVC materials that replicate the look of real wood but are water-resistant and more durable in humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Do shutters block out light completely?
Shutters offer excellent light control but not total blackout — small gaps around the louvres allow a little light to pass through. For near-blackout results, solid panel shutters or combining them with blackout blinds can help.
How do I clean shutters?
Simply dust with a soft cloth or duster regularly. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth — especially on faux wood shutters, which can handle moisture. Avoid soaking real wood shutters or using harsh chemicals.
Are shutters custom made?
Yes, every shutter we supply is made to measure to ensure a perfect fit for your windows. We handle all measuring and professional installation for a flawless finish.
How durable are shutters?
Shutters are designed to last for many years. Real wood shutters age beautifully with care, while faux wood shutters are incredibly tough and resistant to heat, moisture, and everyday wear.
Are shutters child safe?
Yes. Shutters have no cords or chains, making them one of the safest window coverings for homes with children or pets.
How long does it take to get shutters fitted?
Once your shutters are ordered, manufacturing usually takes a few weeks depending on the range. Our Hardwood Shutters are made in China and usually take 8-14 weeks (depending on the time of year) and our Poly Vinyl shutters are made in Northern Ireland. These are usually made and installed within 4-6 weeks. Express delivery is available at an extra cost for a quicker turnaround. Once the Shutters have arrived the installation is then arranged at a time to suit you — typically completed in just a few hours.
