Shutters
Timeless craftsmanship, built to last a lifetime.
The Classic Window Treatment — Reimagined
Shutters are one of the most enduring window treatments ever made — and for good reason. They offer unmatched light control, lasting durability, and a clean architectural look that complements virtually any home style.
At Custom Designs and Blinds, we carry a full range of shutter styles in real wood and composite materials. Every set is custom-measured and professionally installed for a perfect fit.
Styles & Options
Three classic silhouettes — each with its own character
Classic
The most popular shutter style — wide louvers that tilt to control light and airflow while maintaining privacy. A timeless choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces.
- Wide louvers for maximum light control
- Full-height panels cover the entire window
- Works with virtually any décor style
- Available in wood and composite
Café
Covering only the lower half of the window, café shutters let natural light pour in from the top while keeping street-level privacy. A charming choice for kitchens, breakfast nooks, and street-facing rooms.
- Lower-half coverage for privacy and light
- Bright, open feel at the top of the window
- Ideal for kitchens and casual spaces
- Easy to operate and maintain
Double-Hung
Two independent sets of panels — top and bottom — that operate separately for ultimate flexibility. Open the top for light while keeping the bottom closed for privacy, or adjust each panel to suit the moment.
- Independent top and bottom panel operation
- Maximum flexibility for light and privacy
- Great for tall windows and French doors
- Available in all louver sizes
Wood & Composite
Two premium materials. One perfect fit for your home.
Real Wood
Crafted from premium basswood and hardwood species, real wood shutters bring warmth, character, and natural beauty to any room. Each set is stained or painted to your specification.
- Premium basswood and hardwood species
- Custom stain and paint finishes
- Rich, natural grain and texture
- Ideal for dry interior spaces
Composite
Engineered from a high-density polymer core wrapped in a wood-composite shell, composite shutters are moisture-resistant, warp-proof, and virtually maintenance-free — perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and humid climates.
- Moisture-resistant and warp-proof
- Ideal for bathrooms and kitchens
- Virtually maintenance-free
- Painted finishes in a wide range of colors
Light Control Options
Shutters give you more control over light than almost any other window treatment.
Full Open
Fold panels back completely to let in maximum natural light and enjoy an unobstructed view. Perfect for bright living spaces and sunrooms.
Louvers Tilted
Tilt the louvers to diffuse light softly throughout the room while maintaining daytime privacy. The most popular everyday setting.
Fully Closed
Close the louvers completely for maximum privacy and light blockage. Ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, and any space where darkness is desired.
Operating Options
Simple, intuitive controls designed to last.
Center Tilt Rod
A classic center rod runs vertically through the louvers for easy tilting. Clean, traditional, and reliable for everyday use.
Hidden Tilt
A concealed tilt mechanism keeps the face of the shutter clean and uninterrupted — no visible rod. A sleek, modern look for contemporary interiors.
Motorized
Control your shutters with a remote, app, or voice assistant. Integrates with smart home systems including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit.
