Oak Shutters
Oak is a beautiful wood that works in every room. Oak is available in various tones so that you can choose the perfect wooden shutters for your décor. Golden oak is a timeless wood finish that goes well in kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms.
Red oak has a warming, rich style for a classic look, while French oak shutters add a subtle yet beautiful natural colour to any room.
Cherry, Teak and Mahogany
Cherry, teak and mahogany woods are perfect for those who love the antique feel, with classic patterns that suit living and dining areas and are also fantastic in formal settings. Cherry, teak and mahogany are classic favourites and are often used in traditional hotel rooms. They add an elegant touch to upholstery and painted settings with neutral tone carpets. These woods are often considered rather luxurious.
Ebony, Walnut and Wenge
Ebony, walnut and wenge wood are contemporary classics. Wenge offers a stunning dark wood finish, as do black and rich walnut and new ebony. Dark wooden shutters set against white living room walls with low furniture are an excellent contemporary look. Dark woods in kitchens and dining areas add a classy and elegant touch. As with all wooden shutters, team them with the right décor and furniture, and you have a luxurious transformation!
