Why kitchens need the right shutters
Kitchens generate steam, grease particles, and occasional splashes. Fabric blinds absorb these and discolour quickly. Kitchen shutters — especially waterproof composite models — shrug off moisture and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Shutters also keep their shape in fluctuating temperatures, unlike wooden blinds that can warp above a cooker or sink.
Best materials for kitchen shutters
Composite is the clear winner for kitchen shutters. Our Mimeo Composite Shutters are 100% waterproof and will not yellow, peel, or warp even next to a hob or dishwasher.
If your kitchen is dry and well-ventilated, hardwood shutters are also an option — but composite gives you peace of mind with zero maintenance.
Style tips for kitchen shutters
White and off-white finishes keep kitchens bright. Cafe style shutters are popular for kitchen windows above worktops — they screen the sink area from outside view while letting light pour in from above.
