Shutters for a Tuscan-Inspired Residence

A grand Tuscan-inspired home in Brighton required window treatments that would match its architectural ambition. Timber shutters in a warm linen finish delivered the warmth and character the owners were after.

This Brighton home is extraordinary — rendered facades, arched windows, terracotta roof tiles. Finding window treatments that would complement rather than compete with the architecture was a real design challenge.

We proposed real timber shutters in a warm linen finish. The natural wood tones echoed the warmth of the terracotta and rendered surfaces, while the clean louvre lines gave a contemporary edge that prevented the look from feeling dated.

The arched windows required custom-shaped shutter panels — a more involved job, but the result justified every bit of the effort. This project remains one of our most photographed installs.
