What are Café Shutters?
A popular window treatment option in many homes, café shutters are a unique type of plantation shutter that offers fantastic design and performance benefits for homes. Unlike other types of shutters, café shutters only cover the lower half of the window. Our team at Don’s Drapery Service is excited to share with you how these custom shutters can improve your home’s interiors.
Understanding Café Plantation Shutters
The term "café shutters" refers to a style of window treatment that only covers the lower portions of a window, usually the lower half. However, it may vary depending on the size of the window and the needs of the residents. Café shutters are a truncated version of the window treatment that holds true to the style and features of classic plantation shutters simply with a shorter height.
Café style shutters have grown in popularity over the recent years with modern homeowners, and Hunter Douglas has three styles of café plantation shutters ideal for California homes:
- Heritance® Wood Shutters
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters
- NewStyle® Composite Shutters
What are the Benefits of Café Shutters?
For California homeowners, the installation of café shutters can have multi-fold benefits, whether they are using wood, faux wood, or vinyl plantation shutters, as the design basics remain the same for all three types.
- Natural Sunlight: Because café shutters only cover the bottom portion of a window, the top is left open for ample natural sunlight to come in. Want to make your space feel more open? Opt for white café plantation shutters, as the color reflects light, helping to further enhance the natural illumination inside.
- Privacy: Our selection of custom shutters protects the personal privacy of California residents by blocking the sight light into the areas of a home that you want protected. With adjustable louvers, you can get the exact amount of privacy you desire.
- Intact View: Café plantation shutters can protect your favorite view with an open upper area and tilting louvers that keep sightlines intact even while partially engaged for light control or privacy. Add side panels to frame the window and draw the eye to the view to elevate the look.
- Open Feel: These shutters add to a room's open feeling with their view-preservice design and the ample natural sunlight that they let in, both of which help create a more spacious feel.
- Ideal for High Traffic Areas: We fit café plantation shutters to the exact size of a window, so their streamlined profile doesn't intrude into the interior space of a room. There are also no hanging fabrics or cords to trip up foot traffic in busy areas of the home.
