Top 4 Window Shutter Styles for Bay Windows in Shropshire Homes
Bay windows are a beautiful architectural feature, but dressing them properly can be tricky. At Sutherland Croft Blinds, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across Shrewsbury, Telford, and Stafford find the perfect made-to-measure shutters to complement their bay windows offering privacy, light control, and timeless style.
In this post, we’re sharing the top four window shutter styles that work best with bay windows, along with tips on choosing the right fit for your home.
1. Full-Height Shutters
Best for: Clean lines, total privacy, and insulation
Full-height shutters cover the entire window from top to bottom and give bay windows a sleek, modern look. They’re ideal for living rooms and bedrooms where you want complete privacy and better thermal control — especially during colder Shropshire winters.
Installed recently in: Belle Vue, Shrewsbury & Penkridge, Stafford
2. Tier-on-Tier Shutters
Best for: Flexible light control in busy spaces
These shutters have independently opening top and bottom panels, making them perfect for south-facing bay windows or rooms with changing light levels throughout the day. You can open the top for natural light while keeping the bottom shut for privacy — ideal for street-facing homes in Shrewsbury or Telford town centres.
Popular in: Wellington and Hadley, Telford
3. Café-Style Shutters
Best for: Period homes and kitchens
Café shutters cover just the lower half of the window, offering privacy while still letting in plenty of light from above. They’re a stylish choice for bay windows in Victorian or Edwardian properties commonly found in Shrewsbury’s older suburbs like Mountfields or Kingsland.
Installed in: Stafford town centre and Uffington
4. Tracked Shutters
Best for: Large or curved bay windows
If your bay window is extra wide or features curved angles, tracked shutters are a practical and beautiful option. These glide smoothly along a track and work well for large front-facing rooms, garden rooms or conservatories.
Fitted in: Baschurch and Church Aston
