What it is, and why it matters.
Café shutters cover only the lower half or lower two-thirds of a window. You get privacy where people walk by, and the upper glass stays open for daylight, the sky and treetops. It is a classic look inspired by sidewalk cafés, and it works especially well in street-facing rooms.
They are popular in kitchens, bathrooms, dining rooms and ground-floor bedrooms in Nashville townhomes and older bungalows. You can combine café shutters with a top treatment or valance, and they are available in wood or composite finishes. When you want privacy without losing the sun, they are a great solution.
