Choosing the right shutter slat size might seem like a small detail—but it can make a big difference in the overall feel of your room! Whether you’re after a cozy classic look or a modern airy feel, the slat size you choose will help set the tone. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide between 64mm and 76mm louvres.
64mm Slats – Classic, Cozy, and Perfectly Proportioned
If your windows are on the smaller side, or if you have lower ceilings, 64mm slats could be the perfect fit. Here’s why:
- Best for Smaller Windows
These narrower slats keep things in proportion and prevent your shutters from overpowering the window. - Creates the Illusion of Height
Ideal for rooms with low ceilings—64mm slats draw the eye upward and help make the space feel taller. - A Traditional, Timeless Look
Their classic style brings charm and warmth—perfect for period homes or anyone who loves that cozy, lived-in feel. - More Slats = More Control
With more slats per panel, you get finer control over how much light comes in and how much privacy you have.
76mm Slats – Light, Spacious, and Modern
Got larger windows or high ceilings? 76mm slats might be more your style. Here’s what makes them shine:
- Best for Larger Windows
These wider slats look balanced and elegant on big panes of glass. - Let in More Natural Light
Bigger slats mean more light—great for brightening up living rooms, kitchens, or open-plan spaces. - Enhances a Contemporary Vibe
With their clean lines and minimalist feel, 76mm slats are ideal for modern homes. - Fewer Slats to Clean
Yes, we said it. Fewer slats = less time dusting. Win-win!
So, Which Should You Choose?
- Go for 64mm if you have smaller windows, lower ceilings, or prefer a cozy, traditional style.
- Choose 76mm for larger windows, lofty ceilings, and a light, modern look.
