Shutter Design Inspiration
What Are Plantation Shutters?
Plantation shutters are a permanent window treatment featuring adjustable horizontal blades (louvers) set within a framed panel that can be hinged, sliding or bi-fold. They provide a clean, architectural finish that allows you to tilt the blades to balance privacy with soft, filtered natural light throughout the day.
Unlike fabric blinds or curtains, shutters form part of the interior architecture, enhancing street appeal, framing views and adding value to your property while requiring very little maintenance.
Add Character to Every Room
Redgraves shutters suit a wide range of interiors—from relaxed coastal and Cape Cod-inspired spaces to contemporary townhouses and renovated character homes. Use shutters to:
Highlight bay windows in living rooms and heritage villas.
Create privacy and ventilation in bathrooms and ensuites with moisture-resistant finishes.
Control early-morning light in bedrooms while maintaining a calm, resort-like ambience.
Soften strong sun in open-plan kitchens and dining areas without heavy fabrics.
Our consultants help you choose the ideal blade size, frame detail and colour to complement your interior palette, flooring and window joinery.

Your Questions, Answered
-
Hinged shutters are attached to the frame on one side and open like a door, making them ideal for standard windows and French doors where you want full, easy access to the glass. Sliding shutters run along a track, stacking behind one another—this suits large sliding doors and wide openings where floor space is at a premium. Bi-fold shutters are connected with hinges between panels and fold back neatly to the side, which works beautifully on bay windows and larger spans where you want to reveal the full view
-
For large sliding doors, we typically recommend sliding shutters on a track system, as they mirror the way your doors operate and are easy to move even on wide openings. Bi-fold shutters can also be an option where you want the panels to fold right back and fully open up the space to decks or patios
-
Yes—plantation shutters are an excellent choice for Auckland homes, offering insulation, privacy and light control that perform well in our variable climate. Moisture-resistant materials such as PVC or aluminium are especially well-suited to coastal suburbs and wet areas, while timber adds warmth and character in living spaces and bedrooms.
-
You can absolutely mix shutter materials and configurations within the same home, provided the colour and blade size are thoughtfully coordinated. For example, many clients choose timber shutters in living areas and bedrooms, then switch to PVC shutters in bathrooms and laundries for added moisture resistance.
-
Start with how you use each room—consider privacy needs, sun direction, ventilation and access to doors or windows. Our consultants then recommend the most practical combination of material, configuration (hinged, sliding or bi-fold), and blade size to suit both your lifestyle and your home’s architecture. A complimentary in-home consultation is the best way to see options in your space and get tailored advice
