Café Style Shutters - Northblinds
Our custom café style shutters cover just the lower half of your window, letting natural light stream in from the top.
The result? A vibrant, open space with enough coverage to feel right at home.
Think sunny mornings, cosy evenings, and serious curb appeal — all in one sleek, smart solution.
Café style shutters are perfect for street-facing rooms and ground-floor spaces. These classic shutters are firm favourites in kitchens, lounges, and bathrooms. They also work wonders on sash windows, bay windows, and offices.
Anywhere you want privacy without sacrificing the sunshine, café style is the way to go!
We’ve Got Answers!
Café style shutters cover just the bottom half of your window. Inspired by European cafés (naturally), they give you privacy where you need it and sunlight where you want it.
Chic, simple, and great for ground-floor or street-facing spaces.
They’re one of the more budget-friendly shutter styles because they cover less of your window. Prices start from £350, but we’ll always give you a clear, no-obligation quote.
Measuring, fitting, expert advice, and lifetime aftercare? That’s all included.
We often recommend tier-on-tier shutters as an alternative if you’d like a bit more coverage and flexibility.
Like café style, they give you privacy at the bottom, but also include a top panel that opens separately. This can be helpful if you want more control over light throughout the day or extra coverage in the evening.
They offer a similar look, just with a little more versatility.
It depends on the look and function you’re after.
Café curtains are usually cheaper and bring a soft, decorative feel. They offer some privacy, light filtering, and basic insulation.
Café style shutters cost more upfront but offer a neater, built-in finish with long-term value. They’re better at controlling light, improving insulation, and cutting down noise.
