The world of window shutters can be a little bit confusing when you get started. So, sometimes a simple explanation of the terms is really useful for getting you started toward putting some excellent window shutters on your house.
What cafe shutters are can be a little bit confusing, as they are a "subset" of plantation shutters. They are a design style variant of the wider set of plantation shutters. This often leads to confusion, but once you understand, it all makes sense.
Cafe shutters, tier on tier shutters, full height shutters and solid panel shutters are all different types of plantation shutters, each of them having a specific design style and features.
The design feature to cafe shutters is that they only shutter the bottom half of a tall window. So if the window was four feet tall, only the bottom two feet would have shutters on them. This is great when the design feature works with the room, providing ample light through the top of the window, whilst ensuring privacy through the bottom part.
There are so many design features, and styles of window shutters available, but many of them make sense. Cafe style shutters are not for everyone, but can be really interesting design features on the right style of window, in a suitably designed interior space.
