Emmerdale Home Farm Plantation Shutters
Inspiration for interior design can appear in any way, even through your evening soaps. Home Farm has been Emmerdale village’s biggest and most admired property, with a mighty eleven bedrooms and countless communal rooms, it has always housed the rich and has been at the centre of many of the soap’s storylines. Housing the most iconic families, Home Farm has to look the part and it certainly does with its unique interiors and most importantly its plantation shutters!
The plantation shutters that are seen in Emmerdale home farm are full height, pure white with a centre tilt rod and at a guess a 76mm louvre. For farmhouses and even victorian homes, the centre-tilt is a great option to create a classic shutter look. The centre tilt is perfect, even for shutters in modern homes, helping to blend your contemporary space with a touch of something a bit more vintage.
“Are Interior shutters outdated?”
This is a common question from homeowners, as they are a classic style of window dressing. But, the fact that these products keep appearing in modern shows and homes, just shows they are far from that.
As well as the Emmerdale Home Farm, if you are a regular viewer of home makeover shows, such as DIY SOS or 60 Minute Makeover, then it is possible you would catch shutters from various companies across the UK being used in many homes to upgrade them for the better. This just shows that interior decorating experts that join shows like these think shutters are one of the best options to help transform regular homes and make them just that little bit more, spectacular.
The Benefits of Shutters
Plantation shutters can do so much to transform your home, more than what many customers think at first thought. Here are some of the benefits of plantation shutters:
Temperature Control: They can act as a second form of double glazing, trapping the cold air the window lets in keeping you warm in the winter. During the summer months, the louvres create a wonderful form of ventilation and shade keeping your home cool.
Home Security: As well as insulating, their fixed, solid structure also adds a layer of security to your home, deterring criminals from breaking into your property.
Sound insulator: Wood is a natural insulator and helps create a sound barrier to your home, which is especially helpful for those who live in busy, built-up areas (just like the Emmerdale homes). Wooden shutters could provide you with a quieter interior, so you can benefit from an undisturbed night’s sleep.
Long-Life Span: Unlike fabric blinds or curtains, shutters cannot hold odours and are very easy to maintain, if done regularly. Some of our materials, such as Monterey Pine are designed to last many years, without really ever needing to be replaced.
