An often-forgotten part of your house but when it comes to enhancing your loft or attic space, a very simple solution can be adding some plantation shutters to add to the space. Unlike curtains, which can prove fiddly and costly to set up on dormer windows, shutters provide a hassle-free solution. Curtains may even require specialist poles, considering the dimensions, space and environment that the window is currently in, making the installation process even more complicated.
Brisbane Shutters’ offerings include shutters in various styles, colours, and materials, providing an additional layer of elegance to any loft or attic space. Here’s why you should consider plantation shutters for your upstairs loft or attic space:
Light Control And Space Efficiency
Shutters are exceptionally effective at blocking out light, far surpassing other window dressings. Additionally, they occupy less space compared to curtains, making them ideal for compact loft spaces. Notably, they excel at keeping out drafts and insulating the space during winter. During the summer months, you can open the windows while keeping the shutters closed, allowing refreshing light to filter through the slats while maintaining privacy.
Value Add To Your Property
By adding plantation shutters to your attic or loft space instantly increases the value of your property. It also allows you to list the space as another liveable bedroom with the ability to light and climate control the space with the shutters. Plantation shutters don’t just add value to your property by their installation or application to your loft or attic area, but installed anywhere throughout your property it will add value to your home. Plantation shutters are a practical, financial and aesthetic investment into your home.
Our Recommended Shutter For This Space
Painted timber shutters offer a timeless and elegant solution for both interior and exterior window treatments, with their rustic charm being one of their standout benefits. These shutters combine the natural beauty of wood with the versatility of paint, creating a unique aesthetic that enhances any space.
One of the most compelling advantages of painted timber shutters is their ability to exude a rustic look. The texture and grain of timber, when painted in earthy tones or distressed finishes, instantly evoke a sense of warmth and authenticity. This rustic appeal effortlessly complements a variety of interior styles, from traditional farmhouse to coastal cottage, and can even add a touch of vintage character to modern spaces.
Beyond aesthetics, painted timber shutters offer practical benefits. They are highly customizable in terms of color and finish, allowing homeowners to match their decor or create striking contrasts. The paint also acts as a protective barrier, extending the lifespan of the shutters by shielding the wood from moisture, UV rays, and wear and tear.
Moreover, these shutters provide excellent insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs. Their adjustable louvers offer control over light and privacy, making them a functional choice for any room.
