Character homes hand you two of the hardest windows in the business. Amanda's home has both, and one product answered both, which is exactly why she chose it.

The first is that beautiful bay in the bedroom: three tall windows set at angles beneath an original timber-lined ceiling, wrapped in warm villa trim. Curtains struggle in a bay. They either cut across the geometry and flatten the very thing that makes the room special, or they retreat to the corners and leave the glass bare. Shutters do what curtains can't: they follow the bay face by face, panel by panel, so the architecture stays on show. Painted crisp white against the timber, they look like they were always meant to be there, which in a home of this era is the highest compliment window furnishings can earn. Blades tilt for privacy from the street without giving up the light, and the bedroom keeps its airy, storybook feel.
