Options
Choose Your Style
Wet Area & Bathroom Plantation Shutters
Bathroom plantation shutters and wet area plantation shutters are one of the most practical window covering choices for Melbourne homes. PVC plantation shutters are fully waterproof and unaffected by humidity, making them a long-lasting choice behind freestanding baths, around vanities and alongside kitchen and laundry sinks.
A far more practical choice than fabric in wet rooms — no moisture absorption, no mould, no warping over time.
Street Facing Window Plantation Shutters
Street-facing windows are the first thing visitors and potential buyers notice about your home. Custom plantation shutters deliver instant kerb appeal while giving you complete privacy from the street, even with the louvres open.
Made to measure for your exact window — each set sits flush and clean from both inside and out, looking as good from the street as it does from within. An effective upgrade for any street-facing window — on Victorian terraces, Edwardian bungalows and modern new builds alike.
Custom Colour Plantation Shutters
Custom colour plantation shutters are made to order in any shade — from classic white and warm off-white through to dove grey, monument and deeper architectural tones. Whether you want shutters that blend seamlessly with your walls or stand out as a design feature, the choice is entirely yours.
Our in-home design consultation brings samples directly to you so you can choose the right shade in your own light — not under a showroom bulb.
Corner Window Plantation Shutters
Corner window plantation shutters are custom made to wrap cleanly around adjoining windows, with each panel planned and measured so the junction stays tidy and both sides operate independently.
Particularly well suited to Melbourne homes with open-plan living and wraparound glazing, corner plantation shutters give you complete louvre control across the entire corner — each section tilting to your preference.
Bay Window Plantation Shutters
Bay window plantation shutters are custom made as a multi-panel layout, carefully planned so every section aligns and the overall window looks balanced from both inside and out.
A classic choice for Melbourne period and heritage homes, bay window plantation shutters add genuine architectural character while giving you precise daylight and louvre management across each individual panel.
Timber Look Plantation Shutters
Timber look plantation shutters bring the warmth and character of natural wood to any room without the maintenance concerns of real basswood timber. The texture and grain detail closely replicate solid basswood, making them a popular choice for Melbourne homeowners who want a premium aesthetic at a more accessible price point.
A versatile finish that reads well in modern apartments, new builds and established homes — all the warmth of timber, without the upkeep.
Arched Window Plantation Shutters
Arched window plantation shutters are custom made to follow the exact curve of your window, fitting cleanly and symmetrically without losing the architectural feature that makes the window a focal point.
We Inspire Blinds custom builds arched plantation shutters for Melbourne homes — each one measured, made to order and installed to follow the arch precisely — no compromise on fit or finish.
Special Shape Window Plantation Shutters
Special shape window plantation shutters are custom made for non-standard openings including angled, triangular, circular and other irregular window shapes. Every panel is built to the exact profile of your window for a clean, fitted finish.
Every home has at least one window that doesn't fit standard coverings. We build plantation shutters for those windows too — made to the exact profile, professionally installed so no opening gets left behind.
Curved Window Plantation Shutters
Curved window plantation shutters are custom made for radius and curved windows where standard off-the-shelf coverings simply cannot fit. Each panel is built to follow the exact shape of your window, keeping the finish clean and elegant.
Precision built and professionally fitted — the right solution for radius and curved windows that off-the-shelf products simply can't cover. Available throughout Melbourne with a free in-home measure.
Motorised Plantation Shutters
Motorised plantation shutters let you open, close and tilt your louvres with a tap on your phone, a voice command or a set daily schedule. No cords, no handles, no manual adjustment needed.
One of the most requested upgrades we install, motorised plantation shutters work quietly and reliably with major smart home systems — giving you hands-free louvre control throughout the day, fully automated to your schedule.
Materials
PVC / Timber?
PVC Plantation Shutters
PVC shutters are built from a solid polymer core that is 100% waterproof, steam, splashes and high humidity have no effect on the material. Each panel is reinforced with an aluminium infill frame that adds exceptional structural rigidity, making the shutters highly resistant to scratching, cracking and everyday knocks.
Upkeep is minimal, a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth is all it takes. That makes it the default choice for bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and any room exposed to moisture. One thing to note: because PVC is denser and heavier than timber, louvre widths are narrower, so wider windows will use two panels rather than one, something we factor into every quote.
- ✓100% waterproof
- ✓Bathrooms & wet areas
- ✓Maximum durability
- ✓Wipe-clean easy
Real Timber Plantation Shutters
Real timber shutters are crafted from 100% pure basswood, no composite, no MDF, no mixed materials. This lightweight hardwood has a fine, even grain that takes paint beautifully and holds its shape across Melbourne's temperature swings. Timber is significantly lighter than PVC, which means it works better on wider panels and larger windows without stressing the hinges. The material carries a natural warmth and character that makes it the preferred choice for living rooms, bedrooms and homes where the finish is part of the design.
You may have heard that timber shutters warp, crack or fade, that concern applies to lower-grade timber or MDF-core products. Solid basswood, properly finished and correctly installed, holds its shape and finish for years without issue.
- ✓100% pure basswood
- ✓Lighter than PVC
- ✓Natural warmth & grain
- ✓Fully customisable finish

★★★★★5.0 · 150+ reviewsView all →The quality of the product was excellent. The installer worked incredibly hard to fit all shutters in one day and the job was done to perfection. Highly rate this company for shutters.
Shutters throughout the house, including on French doors looked amazing. We believe they were a major part of why we sold the property quickly and at a great price.

Best Paired With
Combinations That Work
Plantation Shutters + Roller Blinds
Plantation shutters handle light and privacy beautifully on standard windows — but they have limits. Sliding doors, skylights and oversized openings are where roller blinds take over, covering the gaps shutters can't reach and completing the window treatment across your whole Melbourne home.
The combination works across period and contemporary interiors alike. Add a blockout roller behind shutters where total darkness matters, or motorise both for seamless smart home control throughout.
- ✓Shutters for standard windows, rollers for sliding doors and large openings
- ✓Add a blockout roller behind shutters for total darkness
- ✓Consistent look across your whole home
- ✓Both can be motorised for smart home integration
Curtains + Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters and curtains together create one of the most refined window treatments available for Melbourne homes. Shutters provide the structure — clean louvres for precise light and privacy control — while curtains frame the window with fabric, adding warmth, softness and a finishing layer that elevates the whole room.
The look works equally well in formal living areas, master bedrooms and period homes where architectural detail matters. We design and install both together — custom measured, colour-matched and fitted by the same team.
- ✓Shutters for daytime light control, curtains to frame the window
- ✓Adds warmth and acoustic softness to harder shutter finishes
- ✓A strong look for bedrooms, living rooms and formal areas
- ✓Works in both classic and contemporary interiors
