No two rooms in your home are identical—each serves different purposes, faces different directions, and presents unique challenges for light control and privacy. This is why bespoke tier-on-tier shutters represent the pinnacle of window treatment solutions, offering custom-designed functionality that adapts perfectly to every room’s specific requirements whilst maintaining a cohesive aesthetic throughout your home.
At The VIP Shutter Company, we understand that true luxury lies in personalisation. Our bespoke tier-on-tier shutters are individually crafted to meet the unique demands of each space, ensuring optimal performance and stunning visual impact in every room of your home.
Understanding Bespoke Design
Beyond Standard Solutions
Bespoke tier-on-tier shutters go far beyond simply fitting your window dimensions. Every aspect of their design—from louvre size and tilt rod positioning to colour selection and hardware choices—is carefully considered to complement your room’s function, aesthetic, and architectural character.
This level of customisation ensures that your shutters don’t merely cover your windows; they enhance your entire living space, becoming an integral part of your room’s design whilst delivering precisely the functionality you require.
The Consultation Process
Our design process begins with an in-depth consultation where we assess each room’s individual requirements. We consider factors such as window orientation, room usage, existing décor, architectural features, and your personal preferences to create shutters that perfectly match your lifestyle and aesthetic vision.
This thorough approach ensures that every set of shutters we create is truly unique, designed specifically for your home and your needs.
Room-by-Room Customisation
Living Rooms: Entertainment and Relaxation Hub
Your living room serves multiple functions throughout the day, from bright morning coffee to cosy evening entertainment. Bespoke tier-on-tier shutters for living spaces typically feature larger louvres that maximise light transmission whilst providing excellent glare control for television viewing.
The independent tier operation allows you to maintain privacy from street level whilst welcoming natural light from above—perfect for homes facing busy roads or neighbouring properties. During evening entertainment, the lower tier can remain closed for intimacy whilst the upper tier can be adjusted to provide ambient lighting from street lamps or garden illumination.
Customisation Options:
- Larger louvre sizes (89mm or 114mm) for maximum light transmission
- Premium hardwood finishes to complement existing furniture
- Silent-operation hardware for minimal disruption during entertainment

Your master bedroom requires the ultimate in privacy and light control flexibility. Bespoke tier-on-tier shutters for bedrooms often incorporate features designed for optimal sleep comfort whilst maintaining the room’s romantic and restful atmosphere.
