Cafe Style Shutters
A little privacy without giving up the daylight? Cafe-style shutters cover the lower part of your window and leave the top uncovered – very handy when you want to keep passing eyes off your sofa without shutting out the sky.
The adjustable slats let you fine-tune the light coming in through the covered section, while hinged panels can open when you want that part of the window clear. Cafe-style shutters suit street-facing living rooms and dining spaces especially well, but they’re great anywhere where privacy matters most at the lower or eye-level.
Our made-to-measure cafe shutters come in a choice of colours, with real and faux wood options. Explore the range, compare free samples at home and choose a finish that feels right for your room. We back your shutters with a 5-year guarantee.

Where do cafe-style shutters work best?
Start with the view in from outside. Cafe-style shutters are especially useful when passers-by can see into the lower part of a room, but the upper window doesn’t need screening.
In a street-facing living room, they can cover the area around seating while leaving daylight free to enter above. In a dining room, they offer privacy around the table without covering the entire window. Think about where you sit as well as where someone outside might look in.
If another property overlooks the upper window, cafe-style may not give you the coverage you need. Full-height shutters cover the whole opening, while tier-on-tier shutters let you open the upper panels independently of the lower ones.
Choosing the height of your cafe shutters
Half-height is an easy way to picture cafe shutters, but don’t choose the height on that phrase alone. Consider your window's proportions, existing horizontal lines and the area you want screened.
A natural division in the window can be a useful visual starting point. Then check whether that height gives you privacy from the actual viewpoint outside. A pavement, raised path or neighbouring window can change what is visible.
Follow the shutter measuring guidance for your chosen product and fitting method. Getting the coverage right is just as important as finding the right colour.
Styling cafe shutters in kitchens and living spaces
White and cream keep the look light, while a darker colour makes the lower panels more of a feature. Wood finishes can pick up the tones of a dining table or flooring; painted options offer a more uniform surface.
If you add curtains, check that their position leaves room for the shutter panels to open. Cafe shutters leave the upper glass uncovered even when the lower panels are closed, so curtains can provide extra coverage when wanted.
For a humid kitchen, moisture-resistant faux wood is a practical choice. Want to cover the whole window or explore wipe-clean fabrics? Browse our wider kitchen blinds collection for more options.
