    Wednesday, November 19, 2014

    One of the most prominent contemporary design trends is the increasing exposure of structural elements of the home combined with a heightened use of various metals throughout.

    Soften the look of shutters with curtains

    Thursday, November 27, 2014

    Personally I prefer the look of shutters over curtains. The simplicity of the design means they can be used in most settings, from traditional to modern. They can be custom made to suit different sized windows, window styles or shapes and are available in custom colours and wraps. They really are a great window treatment to work with when styling a room. Unlike curtains, shutters also have the ability to better control light and airflow by tilting the blades to accommodate the weather outside, while offering security simultaneously.

    What may seem a downside to some about shutters is that they are hard in appearance and this is where curtains hold an advantage. Curtains provide that feminine touch and finished tailored look to a room. You can set the tone of the room with the choice of fabric and colour of curtains or accentuate the room’s style using curtains as complimentary elements.

    Often we assume you can only have one or the other, but why not have both and combine shutters with the gorgeous fabrics of curtains! Utilise shutters for the practical benefits of privacy, security, light and air flow control and soften the look by adding curtains. A decorator's dream!

    Love Summer? Love Shutters!

    Thursday, December 04, 2014

    Summer in Australia is undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable and social times of year. However, the harsh nature of the Aussie sun often limits the amount of time we can spend outside enjoying it.Whilst many of us have some form of outdoor entertaining area, it's often far more exposed to the elements than we'd sometimes like. Aluminium shutters are an often unthought of but fantastic way to correct this issue. They're a fantastic way to control the light, wind and rain in the sporadic afternoon storm whilst adding a pleasant and stylish aspect to your home. Coming in a wide range of colors and textures, there's no reason not to!

    Below are some great examples to help inspire you!







    So whether it's a relaxing Sunday afternoon with wine and a BBQ or a Saturday feast with the whole neighborhood, All Shutters and Blinds' range of aluminium shutters are the perfect way to complete your outdoor cooking or entertaining area and allow you to enjoy the outdoors for longer!
