Café style shutters are one of the most traditional and elegant uses of plantation shutters giving a stunning look in your windows.  They are the perfect solution to give you privacy at the bottom of your window where you need it whilst allowing light at the top.  They are ideal if you are close to a road or over-looked.  The top of the café shutters can finish where there is a natural break in the window or to a point of your preference, made to measure.
