There's something modest yet grand about them (if that's possible!)


Modest because they are so simple in design, plain or panelled and totally lacking in frills...

Grand because they are often full length, and because Georgian buildings tend to have high ceilings they can appear quite imposing.

I think that they're at their best left either unpainted...


or in pale or muted shades.

The Georgians loved pale, flat colours which can look very beautiful.

Here are some of the ones at Hill House. Mine are painted in pale colours throughout. A chalky white in the drawing room...

Pale buttermilk in the kitchen (sorry for the dark picture).

I think that interior shutters are a simply beautiful and stylish alternative to curtains in any period of house. As they are often set into recessed shutter boxes at the side of the window, they maximise the amount of light when open. They don't fade and they combine privacy with security. If your house doesn't already have them, they can be made-to-measure by specialist companies, or they can also be found in salvage yards and junk shops if you're after the genuine article - DIY enthusiasts can even make them from scratch with reclaimed timber. They can be re-painted to suit your colour scheme - and they can be wiped, sanded or painted clean - what's not to love?
Definitely-what's not to love? I especially love the no frills aspect of the look. Beautiful spaces! xx
ReplyDeleteI am getting greener by the day, these are beautiful! And yes, you are lucky if the originals are still there, they look so lovely.

Oh, I love shutters too. Sadly our house is all wrong for them, too many beams in the way mainly. Your post has cheered me up - needed it, I managed to stick a stanley knife into my finger doing the last bouquet of the season!
ReplyDeleteThese shutters remind me of my grandmother's colonial home here in Barbados. I love the colonial style of the older homes, especially the Plantations. Thank you for visiting my blog as well Mrs. Sutton. So glad to hear you also have roots in Grenada.

Ah yes, they are lovely, we are lucky enough to have them in our sitting rooms and kitchen downstairs. The best bit though - the money you save on curtains! Our windows are huge and I think they'd be bare if it weren't for the shutters!

ReplyDeleteI could stare at this post all day! Shutters add a dimension and feeling that is so old, new and true :)
ReplyDeleteWe had the original external wooden louvre shutters on our old house, a Victorian period c.1899 house. They were fabulous to close during our searing hot Aussie summer days, & threw a dappled light into the bedrooms reminiscent of being in exotic Singapore. I miss them dreadfully!
