Katie Rapp has been an interior designer for classic and contemporary homes since 1994 and has often experienced difficulty in finding an ideal way to decorate dormer windows.
The dilemma is that curtains can look cluttered and block out the light, whilst roman blinds and louvered shutters are chic but rather basic.
Katie’s novel solution is the fabric-covered shutter, which adds a colourful style to any window, not just dormers and provides a fascinating effect on the overall atmosphere of a room with its clean, chic and sharp appearance.
A fabric-covered window shutter is a simple idea but tricky to manufacture perfectly, however the design has now been developed to deal with most fitting scenarios, using many different types of fabric.
The fabric is positioned to maximise the pattern across all of the shutters, thus providing colour when open or closed. Each shutter panel is constructed to withstand warping.

The shutters are upholstered in customers’ own fabrics, or Katie will be pleased to advise and supply material. Bespoke variations can include padding, buttoning and studs.
