Dover Cafe Shutters Give Your Room Stunning Looks

Café shutters (also known as half shutters) can totally change the look of your kitchen, dining space, or breakfast nook. Café shutters put the stunning louvers and classic looks of Dover plantation shutters on the bottom part of the frame, with open space above that lets light come in.

But Why Café Shutters?

Café shutters are more than just a half set of shutters, though. They’re a set of fully-functioning shutters in their own right, built to let in an amount of light all the time, yet still maintaining your privacy. That makes them great fits for tall or high-wall windows in your house. Another fantastic spot for cafe shutters is in any room that could use more natural light such as your living room or kitchen and dining room.

Café shutters can easily pair with just about any other window treatment, in case you’d rather not keep the top of your window frame bare. Match natural wood café shutters with an earth-toned valance for a classic café style, or pair white faux wood cafe shutters with some brightly-colored drapes for a more up to date look. There are many possibilities when you can make use of natural light, beautiful plantation shutters, and your personal home fashion sense.

You may wonder, “Would I just be better off installing a full set of shutters on my window?” There’s no right answer to this question, as every home is unique. Ask your Sunburst Shutters sales rep for advice on choosing the best fit for your windows

But if you want the benefits of both cafe shutters and full shutters. For that, you need divider rail plantation shutters.

Divider Rail Shutters Offer The Best of Both Worlds

Plantation shutters with a divider rail have the full frame of a standard set of interior shutters, but with an added bonus. With most shutters, all of the louvers move together from top to bottom. Plantation shutters with a divider rail have two moving halves, meaning that you can move the bottom half of your louvers without changing the top, and the other way around.

With a divider rail you can have all the advantages of café shutters, without having one half of your window bare. You can fully close your shutters for privacy, and to keep your home more comfortable. And when you tilt the top louvers horizontally, they’re almost invisible, giving you that same café shutter look if and when you need it.
