Types of Plantation Shutters
Timber, PVC and Aluminium Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters are available in several material options, each suited to different environments and design requirements. Timber and basswood shutters are popular for living areas and bedrooms, while PVC and aluminium options are preferred for high-humidity or high-sun locations. Material choice directly affects durability, appearance, and long-term performance.
Hinged, Bi-Fold and Sliding Plantation Shutters
Different opening configurations allow plantation shutters to suit a wide range of window and door layouts. Hinged shutters are the most common for standard windows, while bi-fold and sliding plantation shutters are ideal for large openings. The choice of configuration affects access, light control, and how much of the opening can be fully cleared. Proper panel design also ensures smooth operation and long-term reliability for everyday use.
Indoor Plantation Shutters
Indoor plantation shutters are designed for internal window and door applications where light control, privacy, and insulation are key priorities. They are widely used in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and home offices. Indoor shutters also contribute to interior design consistency and energy efficiency.
Outdoor Plantation Shutters
External plantation shutters are designed to withstand Australian outdoor conditions. These shutters provide sun protection, airflow control, and an added layer of security for verandahs, patios, and exterior openings. Outdoor plantation shutters are commonly specified for coastal or high-sun environments.
Arched and Custom-Shaped Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters can be manufactured to fit non-standard window shapes. Arched, bay, and corner windows are common in homes and require custom shutter solutions. These shutters maintain consistent light control while matching the architectural style of the property.
Insulated and Energy-Efficient Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters are often selected for their thermal performance. Insulated plantation shutters help reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, making them a practical choice for different climates. This improves comfort while supporting lower energy consumption.
Plantation Shutters for Doors and Large Openings
Plantation shutters can be custom-designed for doors and wide openings. Sliding and bi-fold systems are commonly used for French doors, patio doors, and open-plan spaces. These solutions maintain visual consistency while allowing flexible access.
Motorised and Smart Plantation Shutters
Motorised plantation shutters offer convenient control for hard-to-reach windows and larger openings. Smart options can integrate with modern home automation for scheduled operation and precise louvre positioning. These systems are often selected for new homes and premium renovations.

Stan from inDesign Blinds was great to deal with. We love our new shutters and Roman blinds. The choice of fabrics was amazing and the quality is really good. The price was very competitive. I would really recommend, so much so we are wondering where else we could put blinds!
Very happy with my skylight blinds on the laser light panels on my verandah roof. Great to have the light and sun in winter, but not summer. My North facing verandah was almost unusable in summer. Stan did a very professional job and was the only one I could find that would do this type of installation in Melbourne. I highly recommend him. The blinds made a huge difference in temperature on the verandah and no doubt the house will be much cooler in summer as well. The distance from his workshop was not a problem either. The turnaround was also as stated. Thanks Stan for a terrific job.
So happy with my beautiful textured blinds for my living room. As promised, has warmed up the room and minimised heater reliance. Material wasn’t available but Stan was still able to keep to the 4-5 week install timeframe after he ordered in new material and sped up the curtain making.
Absolutely thrilled with my experience with Indesign Blinds! Stan was amazing—super professional, friendly, and kept me updated every step of the way. The quality of the curtains is outstanding, and they’ve completely elevated the look of my home. Couldn’t recommend Indesign Blinds highly enough!
I am very pleased with my new roller blinds - they look luxurious and have elevated the look of the two rooms so much. I wish I had done this sooner as it was like an instant renovation and such quick turnaround from measure and quote through to installation. Stan is extremely knowledgeable and his recommendations were spot on, combined with professional and efficient service. Highly recommended and I’m definitely coming back here for my future blind and curtain requirements.
