As summer sunlight floods into homes across Bedfordshire, managing indoor temperatures becomes a priority. At Patternmatch Interiors in Ampthill, we specialise in stylish, energy-efficient shading solutions, with shutters taking centre stage for their natural insulating properties, elegant look, and all-year-round practicality.

From solid timber shutters to smart tier-on-tier designs, our bespoke solutions are made to measure and designed to suit your lifestyle and your home.

1. Control Heat with Insulating Shutters South-facing rooms can overheat quickly—but shutters are a simple, beautiful way to beat the heat. Our composite and wooden shutters act as a natural barrier, reducing solar gain and keeping rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

We also offer:

Reflective thermal blinds for modern interiors

Honeycomb Duette blinds with built-in energy savings

Retractable awnings and exterior screens for outdoor and indoor protection

2. Minimise Glare While Letting in Light Sunlight is welcome—until it disrupts your screen time. With adjustable louvres, shutters allow you to fine-tune incoming light to reduce glare while keeping interiors bright and airy. They’re ideal for living rooms, home offices, and family spaces.

Vision blinds, day & night blinds, and external shading can also reduce glare before light even reaches the windowpane.

3. Shield Furniture and Flooring from UV Rays Direct sunlight fades fabrics, discolours wood flooring, and damages precious artwork. Our shutters and blinds come with UV-blocking properties to help protect your interiors. Awnings and screens also safeguard decking, garden furniture, and outdoor living areas from damaging rays.

4. Enhance Privacy, Comfort, and Sound Insulation Need a cool, calm, private space to unwind? Shutters are perfect for bedrooms, bathrooms, and bay windows. They also add a layer of sound insulation and visual privacy—while keeping you in control of light and airflow.

Pair shutters with blackout or thermal blinds for the ultimate in layered performance.

5. Made to Measure for Your Bedfordshire Home Whether you live in a modern apartment in Bedford or a period home in Ampthill or Flitwick, we offer beautifully tailored shading solutions to match. Choose from a huge range of colours, styles, and finishes—from classic white shutters to richly stained wood.

We supply top brands such as Luxaflex, with options for manual or fully motorised systems, including smart home integrations.
