A Family-Run Shutter and Blind Business Near York
Inspired Shutters is a family-run business with over 30 years of experience supplying and fitting made-to-measure shutters, blinds and curtains. We are based at Newton on Ouse, just outside York, and we cover York and the whole of North Yorkshire from there.
The business is run by Mark and Heather. That matters more than it might sound: the person who visits your home to measure is the same person who comes back to fit the blinds, and the same person you speak to if you have a question two years later. Nothing is handed to a subcontractor, and there is no sales team working to a commission target.
How We Work
Every job follows the same straightforward process, and the first three steps cost you nothing.
- Free home consultation. We come to you with sample books and materials, so you can see slat finishes and fabrics against your own walls, flooring and daylight rather than under showroom lighting.
- Precise measuring. We measure every window ourselves. You are never asked to supply your own measurements, which means the fit is our responsibility, not yours.
- Written quotation. You get a clear, itemised price with no obligation to proceed and no follow-up pressure.
- Manufacture. Your order is made to your exact measurements by our suppliers.
- Professional installation. Mark and Heather fit everything personally and clear up properly afterwards.
- Aftercare. If something needs adjusting later, call us. We are local and we answer the phone.
Our Services
What We Supply
We cover the full range of made-to-measure window furnishings for homes and businesses:
Plantation shutters in hardwood, faux wood and moisture-resistant ABS.
Window blinds including venetian, roller, roman, vertical, pleated and Perfect Fit styles.
Made-to-measure curtains, along with poles, tracks and tiebacks.
Conservatory blinds, including roof and lantern shading.
Commercial blinds for offices, schools, shops and hotels.
Smart motorisation for blinds and shutters.
Our Showroom and Opening Hours
You will find us at 1 Moor Lane, Newton on Ouse, York, YO30 2DE. Most customers choose a home visit instead, and we would generally recommend it, because judging a fabric or a slat colour really does depend on the light in the room it is going into.

Payment
We accept cash, BACS bank transfer and cheque. Payment terms are set out in writing with your quotation before anything is ordered, so you know exactly what is due and when.

Brands and Suppliers We Work With
We are independent, so we are not tied to a single manufacturer’s range. That lets us specify the right system for your window rather than the only one we are allowed to sell. Our blind systems come from established names in the industry:

What Our Customers Say
Most of our work now comes from recommendations and repeat customers rather than advertising, which is the measure we care about most. You can read what people have said about working with us on our reviews page, and see finished installations in our gallery of recent work.
