How to prepare your home for Summer 2023
That time of year has come around again and we want you to make the most of your homes for the summer 2023 season. It’s time to stop searching, “how to prepare your home for summer”, The Shutter Studio team has some helpful tips for you!
After a very long and cold winter here in the UK, we’re sure everyone is looking forward to some brighter and warmer weather. So, when is the first day of summer? Well, we’ve got plenty of time to get our interiors ready for summertime, as it’s not official until the end of June this year.
It’s time to dust away the winter cobwebs and create inviting homes to enjoy with our loved ones and we’ve got plenty of ways to transform your interior and exterior that might just invite you in. You may have got through your spring cleaning checklist but we’re sure you may have missed some tips that could improve your home, even more, to make summer even better!
White Shutter Blinds
An instant way to make your home feel fresh and clean is by adding white shutters to your interior. Not only do they fit with any paint colour or interior choice but they completely brighten your home by reflecting any summer sunshine back into your space, as well as making a room feel more spacious and tidy. You’ll find a range of white shutters for windows on our website, each made completely bespoke to your home in a variety of styles.
If you are searching for ‘how to keep home cool in summer?’ then our wooden shutters are one of the best ways. White shutters help keep the direct sun out of your interior, whilst still keeping it bright and open. On a much breezier summer day, keep your windows behind your shutters open to create a nice airflow into your home, whilst maintaining privacy! This will help you save money in the long run on energy costs, preventing you from using fans and air-conditioning units all day long.
We now have a new UK Shutter product where you can now receive your new bespoke white shutters in just 6 weeks, right in time for summer!
Dusting away the winter
Although your spring dusting and cleaning are definitely going to be top of the list. At The Shutter Studio, we provide a microfibre cloth and aftercare guide after the installation of your shutters and blinds, to make sure our customers know how to properly care for their products.
Shutters are simple to maintain; use your new microfibre cloth to wipe down the louvres either individually when open or to make it quicker, close them up and wipe over them altogether. Make sure to wipe down the frames inside and out, as they can also get dusty from your windows/vents being open.
Adding Motorised Blinds
Motorised Blinds can benefit your home any time of year but especially the brighter months. Your motorised window blinds, made by the incredible Somfy, can be designed to not only open by remote control but with your smart home system or phone app! This means they can be opened at the time of day that suits you or just before sunrise and sunset, helping you get the most out of the brighter summer days.
During the winter a lot of homeowners look for things to do to improve mental health and did you know, opening your home to natural light and sunshine can vastly impact your mood? Adding motorised blinds that open at sunrise can improve your mood throughout the year, and help you make the most out of the daylight hours. There is more to window dressings than just their style or aesthetic look in your home.

Summer Scents
After a good home refresh, everyone loves to light a candle to officially finish the job, plus a nice-smelling home is always a talking point when guests come over. Since the beginning of the year, our customers have been receiving beautiful wax melts from a small UK company, Teddy Eva scents, with their customer care packages. We love this company and its huge range of scents, some perfect for the spring and summer seasons.
From working with small companies like these, we have decided to release our own range of branded wax melts to give our future customers to help add a fresh scent to their homes after the installation of some new shutters or blinds. Keep an eye on our social media for a range of our scents, being added to our care packages!
