What actually matters in a living room

Every Mobberley living room project we quote hinges on the same set of questions:

  • How it looks from the street closed and open
  • TV glare from a west-facing window
  • Handling a bay window without visible gaps
  • Matching an existing paint or wood tone

Painted hardwood in the majority of specification — the grain reads properly in daylight where MDF can look plastic.

What we usually specify

Across Mobberley living rooms we mostly fit:

  • Full-height in a splay or square bay
  • Tier-on-tier on tall Victorian sashes
  • Café-style on a Georgian sash

76mm or 89mm louvres balance privacy and view — 63mm looks fussy on a large living-room window.

Match the paint code to the skirting, not the wall — the shutter reads as joinery, not a window treatment.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

Which shutters suit a Cheshire farmhouse living room?

Full-height in a splay or square bay is the usual default. 76mm or 89mm louvres balance privacy and view — 63mm looks fussy on a large living-room window.

What does a Mobberley living room shutter project usually cost?

£1,400–£2,800 per bay, £480–£720 per single window. Whole-room Mobberley projects sit inside the £3,200 – £9,000 band across the house. Every figure fixed and 90-day valid.

Do you fit living room shutters in Mobberley?

Yes — WA16 7 are on our regular survey run. 22 min from Stockton Heath, and living rooms are one of the most-quoted rooms across Mobberley.

Will full-height shutters make the room feel dark?

Not if the louvres open flush against the frame — a well-specified shutter loses less light than a half-drawn curtain. The key is the louvre size and how far the panels fold back. In Mobberley, that's the answer for the Cheshire farmhouses and barn conversion we survey most weeks.

Can we match the shutter colour to our decorator's paint?

Yes — we colour-match to Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Dulux or a chip you provide. Small surcharge; specified on survey day. In Mobberley, that's the answer for the Cheshire farmhouses and barn conversion we survey most weeks.
