SHUTTERS AS ROOM DIVIDERS
Love your open plan area but want the option to divide it at the same time?
Using interior shutters as room dividers is a smart and stylish alternative to building a permanent wall. Not only is it a more cost-effective solution, but it also offers unbeatable flexibility. With shutters, you can enjoy the benefits of open-plan living while still having the option to create separate spaces whenever you need privacy, quiet time, a study area, or simply to hide the clutter in the next room!
The beauty of shutters is that they can be both open-plan and divided at the same time — simply tilt the louvres to maintain visibility and light flow between rooms. This is particularly practical for families, as you can still see, hear, and talk to your children or pets while keeping them safely contained in one area.
At The ShutterShack, we specialise in beautiful hardwood plantation shutters that combine timeless style with everyday practicality. Whether you want to add kerb appeal, improve light control, or create a private and cosy atmosphere indoors, our shutters are a perfect choice for homes across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and Dorset.
All of our hardwood shutters come with a 10-year guarantee and are installed with care by our experienced, BBSA-accredited team.
Why Choose Plantation Shutters?
🌞 Light Control – Easily tilt the louvres to let in natural light while keeping privacy.
❄️ Energy Efficiency – Shutters help to insulate your home, keeping rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
🎨 Custom Design – Choose from a wide range of colours, finishes, and louvre sizes to perfectly match your interior.
🪵 Built to Last – Crafted from premium hardwood with a 10-year guarantee.
🏡 Adds Value – Plantation shutters enhance your property’s style and appeal.
Shutters as Room Dividers
Plantation shutters aren’t just for windows – they can also be used as stylish room dividers. This makes them an excellent option for:
🛋️ Open-Plan Living – Create separate zones in larger spaces, such as dividing a living and dining area, without losing natural light.
🏠 Flexible Spaces – Perfect for homes where rooms have multiple uses, such as a home office that doubles as a guest room.
🚪 Sliding & Bi-Fold Options – Our shutters can be fitted on a track system, allowing them to slide or fold neatly away when not in use.
🎭 Privacy On Demand – Instantly section off areas when you want privacy or a cosier atmosphere.
Unlike temporary screens or heavy room dividers, shutters are made-to-measure, solid, and elegant. They provide the same premium look as window shutters while offering a practical solution for flexible living.
