Perhaps it’s the rise in popularity of property and home design shows that has seen UK home architecture become more exciting. Shaped windows with arches, curves or triangles have become more widespread, not only on custom homes but among mainstream builders.

Shaped shutters, as you can see, offer a wonderful solution as a window treatment for arch windows. Using shaped shutters for windows looks fantastic as the panels are made exactly to fit the shape, therefore the panels accentuate the unique arch or angle that the window has. In this instance, the stain used on the shutter ensures the shutters blend in seamlessly to the colour of wood used on the window frame.

Leading specialist Shutterly Fabulous has over the years visited many impressive homes in Reading and the surrounding towns of Berkshire. Reading has many one off owner designed homes which have had the luxury of incorporating shaped windows into the build of the property.

What most people - be they developers or individuals - do not consider then designing these windows, is how to dress them. Curtains or blinds are always a compromise as they do not follow or match the exact shape of these unique windows. Hardwood shutters offer the ideal solution as they are made specifically to match the curves or angles of the windows.

The arch shaped shutter installed here is made from yellow poplar and is stained in light oak. To find out more about shutters for your unique windows contact a member of the Shutterly Fabulous team who would be more than happy to assist you.
