Why choose natural timber shutters?
Painted shutters look sleek and modern, but natural timber shutters tell a different story. The visible grain pattern, subtle colour variation, and tactile surface bring organic warmth to a room — especially when paired with natural flooring, linen soft furnishings, or exposed brick.
Natural timber shutters suit Scandinavian, rustic, farmhouse, and mid-century modern interiors. They also complement period homes where original wooden features set the design tone.
The Graino Paulownia range
Our Graino Paulownia Shutters are crafted from sustainably grown Paulownia timber and finished with a stain that enhances the wood's natural grain. Multiple stain colours are available — from pale ash to deeper walnut tones — so you can match your existing furniture and joinery.
For a painted alternative on the same lightweight timber, see the Strato Paulownia range.
Care and maintenance
Natural timber shutters need minimal upkeep. Dust with a dry cloth or use a vacuum brush attachment. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the stain. If a panel gets scratched, a light sand and re-stain restores the surface — something painted shutters cannot offer as easily.
