Café Style Shutters are a more flexible option for adding both style and functionality to your windows. The advantage of plantation shutters is that they are a sturdy choice built into the recess. Whether you want to keep your home warm by closing the shutters or cool a space down by opening them, the plantation shutters will suit each need.
These shutters function similarly to the traditional Full Height Shutter but they do not reach the entire way up to the top of the window, but instead leave a gap. They still feature horizontal ‘louvred’ slats across the panels. The plantation shutter is designed to allow these slats to tilt. This allows control over how much light and air is allowed in, whilst still being as practical as they are stylish.
The main advantage of choosing Café Style over Full Height is that you allow more light in from above without sacrificing privacy or allowing glare at eye level. Stylistically it also partners perfectly with windows that are made up of a larger window and a smaller window above.
We know you’re itching to transform your home with fabulous new cafe shutters. Who wouldn’t want a little extra style and comfort?

Book your free home appointment today and take the first step towards style, speed, and satisfaction. Transform your space with ease and enjoy the comfort and elegance of beautifully fitted shutters.
Here at Village Blinds and Shutters, we have different types of Café Style Shutters available for installation in your home. Each of these will help the shutter better meet your function or design needs. They are;
A central tilt rod is the traditional style for Café Style Plantation Shutters. This tilt rod is attached to the panel in the centre and runs vertically down the louvred slats. This ensures that when you move the slats they will all move together. Often this is a popular choice for more traditional style homes.
A hidden tilt is the more modern variation for a Café Style Plantation Shutter. Rather than having the tilt rod run down the centre, it is positioned at the backside of the panel. It performs the same function, ensuring the louvred slats move together. These have seen increasing popularity in more modern homes, but are often chosen simply for a preference of not having the tilt road easily accessible.
We have a range of paint options available for our shutters upon request. Just provide us with your RAL Colour number and we’ll paint your new shutters to suit your style.

Our design consultant will arrive at the agreed time slot and ask you questions about your requirements and style preferences to help understand your project. They will measure your windows and discuss fabric/material options and provide you with a quotation based on your choices.
Depending on your requirements, a home appointment can take from 30 minutes for 1-10 blinds, to 60 minutes for 10+ blinds or window shutters. Our design consultant will work at your pace and we’re happy to stay longer to talk through your options and provide advice if you’d like.
We would ask ahead of the home appointment that you have arranged clear access to the window areas being measured and that any obstructing furniture or breakables near the windows are removed.
Once the windows are in, plastering has been completed and any tiling or skirting or architrave that might be close to the blinds has been installed. This will allow our design consultant to take accurate measurements.
Usually, our design consultant will be able to provide you with your quotation during your appointment. Sometimes for some very bespoke projects pricing can take a little longer. If you haven’t heard back within 24 hours, give them a call or email and they will keep you updated.
Our production team work tirelessly to craft every single blind and shutter for our customers individually. Lead in times can vary depending on factors such as material availability and our production schedule. That being said we will always work to get your order as quickly as possible. Ask your design consultant for an up-to-date lead time estimate.
