Why a Bathroom with Shutters Just Makes Sense (Plus How to Clean Them & What They Cost)

Looking to upgrade your bathroom without a full renovation? A bathroom with shutters might be exactly what you need. Plantation shutters are stylish, practical, and ideal for wet areas — offering the perfect mix of privacy, light control, and durability.

In this blog, we’ll show you why they’re the ultimate choice for bathrooms, cover how to clean plantation shutters, and break down how much plantation shutters cost — especially if you go the DIY route.

Why Plantation Shutters Are Perfect for Bathrooms

A bathroom with plantation shutters offers more than just good looks. Here’s why they work so well:

• Moisture-resistant: Our EasyFit shutters are made from durable PVC, so they won’t warp or crack in humid spaces like bathrooms.
• Great for privacy: Tilt the louvres however you like to let light in without sacrificing your privacy.
• Easy to clean: Unlike fabric curtains or blinds, plantation shutters are low-maintenance and super easy to keep fresh.
• Timeless design: They suit every style from coastal to contemporary, and make small spaces feel bright and breezy.

How to Clean Plantation Shutters (Especially in the Bathroom)

Whether it’s a steamy ensuite or a main bathroom, regular cleaning will keep your shutters looking like new. Here’s how to clean plantation shutters the easy way:

1. Dust them weekly
Use a soft cloth, duster, or vacuum with a brush attachment to gently remove dust from each louvre. Don’t forget to tilt them both ways to get every angle.

2. Wipe with a damp cloth
For bathrooms, where moisture and build-up are more common, use a damp cloth with just water or a mild detergent. Wipe the louvres, frames, and edges.

3. Avoid harsh chemicals
Our EasyFit shutters are coated in VOC-free, premium paint — so a gentle clean is all they need. Harsh chemicals can damage the surface over time.

Bathroom tip: Pay extra attention to the area closest to the bath or shower, where moisture is most likely to collect.
