Shut out the world
Published: 10 February 2012
Bright coloured shutters are on trend for 2012.
When decorating your bedroom you may find yourself pondering what window treatments to use to complement your bed linen.It is often tempting to try to find curtains to match the rest of the room, but this can often be a bit overwhelming - especially when marrying up a pattern.
A great addition to any bedroom is shutters and this season it is all about bright and bold colours.
Sam Tamlyn, head of operations at californiashuttercompany.co.uk, commented: "If you're looking to use colour to make a statement, I'd recommend pairing beautiful, bold-coloured shutters with a more subdued colour on walls."
This can completely transform the feel of a room and is particularly en vogue for bedrooms channelling a country chic effect.
What's more, shutters are "a fantastic talking point" and draw the eye "both inside and outside your home".
Brave interior designers will be using tangerine this year, creating a Mediterranean feel with shutters.
