Cordless operation brings peace of mind in a family home
Shutters have no loose operating cords, making them a practical choice for a child’s or playroom.
Adjust light and privacy throughout the day
The louvres can let in daylight while providing more privacy in the evening. Complete blackout may require an additional solution.
Choose a robust, accessible design
The panel layout and material are tailored to everyday use, your furniture and the height at which children can reach the shutters.
Short answer
The essentials at a glance
In a bedroom, the choice is about privacy, peace and control over morning and evening light. Shutters significantly reduce light, but they are not completely light-tight roller shutters.
Practical: Decide in advance how much privacy and light reduction you expect. The louvre position and panel configuration can then be designed accordingly.
The choices that make the difference
Four points to assess before requesting a quotation
Desired level of light reduction
Decide whether your priority is limiting visibility from outside or making the room as dark as possible.
Louvre and split configuration
A split configuration can provide privacy below while allowing daylight in above.
Colour and ambience
Light shades create a calm look, while dark wood or black can create a more cocooning, hotel-style atmosphere.
Furniture and access routes
Beds, cupboards and radiators must not obstruct the opening of the panels.
Avoid disappointment
Common mistakes when buying shutters
- Expecting complete blackout
- Failing to account for a bed or cupboard in front of the window
- Looking only at closed shutters
From idea to installation
How a carefully managed made-to-measure process works
- Collect photos and approximate measurements of the windows.
- Compare material, colour, louvre size and operation.
- Have every window professionally measured at multiple points.
- Confirm the panel layout, technical details, price and schedule.
- Have your shutters installed, adjusted and explained to you.

Frequently asked questions
Is the same solution suitable for every window or room?
No. Cordless operation, durable materials and light control. The window type, dimensions, installation position, material load and daily use are assessed for each individual situation.
What does DeVo check during the professional site survey?
We take measurements at multiple points and check the frame, reveal, handles, opening direction, windowsill, available panel clearance, and the desired louvre and panel configuration, among other details.
How do louvre size and panel configuration affect the result?
They determine how many lines you see, how open the view through is and how practically the panels can open. The proportions in relation to the window matter more than one standard size.
Can I compare materials, colours and operating options first?
Yes. During your consultation and in the Oud-Turnhout showroom, you can compare current collections, colour samples, louvre sizes and operating options side by side.
Are measuring and installation included in the process?
Yes. DeVo guides the project from advice and technical measuring through to made-to-measure production, installation, adjustment and guidance on use and care.
