Why You Should Choose Timber Plantation Shutters

I have always been devoted to curtains, there is just something in the way they fall and the way they look that is just so dreamy. Curtains, however, can also be a nightmare especially for privacy and for cleaning. Not only can they be difficult to take down and put back up but getting stains out can be impossible, not to mention they fade so fast from the sun. So one day, I decided to try timber plantation shutters which by the way I never imagined would happen. They are now my only choice when it comes to window coverings. I never realized just how much time I spend around the curtains and how difficult they were until I tried the timber plantation shutters for myself. Below I’m going to go over the benefits I experienced after I decided to try them out and hopefully I might be able to convince you to give them a try.

  • I finally had privacy – This was something that I really needed since my bedroom looks directly into the bedroom of the building next door. If I wanted lighting and fresh air, the curtains had to be apart – not only does this let bugs in but it also seemed to let people’s eyes into the apartment as well. This is not so great when you are walking around looking like a hot mess. The great thing about timber plantation shutters is that you can tilt them slightly so you can have light and privacy at the same time.
  • I found peace and quiet – One thing I did not expect was how much sound they blocked out, which is something you rarely find in a busy, bustling city. When they are shut, they provide you with a layer of sound insulation as well as keeping cold air in the summer and heat inside in the winter. This is another bonus in itself because I started saving a lot more money on my heating and power bills!
  • I could easily control lighting – Having the option to control lighting is something that is just not possible with curtains as they either block the light or you have to open them completely to get lighting. With timber plantation blinds you can easily change the direction of the lighting as the sun moves meaning you can also protect your furniture and floor from the sun’s fading abilities.
  • They are so much easier to clean – Not only are they much easier to clean, but they stay clean longer. Dust doesn’t stick to shutters the same way it does to fabric so all you really need is a feather duster or a damp cloth to quickly wipe them down. No need to take them off and wash them thoroughly like you would with curtains and fabrics.
  • My apartment looks fantastic – Not only are they super convenient for my busy lifestyle they also look much better than I thought they would. I had always thought that curtains looked great, but these shutters really opened the space up because they are not the focus of the room anymore. Not only that but they also added a modern and sophisticated vibe to the space which I didn’t expect at all.
