A passion for beautiful interiors,
built over 17 years.
I’m Leeza Ellis, and I started The Shutter Designer because I believe your home deserves more than a catalogue answer. Every window I dress is treated like my own.
From curtains to shutters — a lifetime in window dressing.
I began my career in soft furnishings — curtains, Roman blinds, bespoke cushions — long before shutters became my signature. That foundation matters. Understanding how fabric drapes, how light moves through a room, how the right treatment can transform a space: these aren’t things you learn from a product brochure. They come from years of sitting in people’s living rooms, listening to what they love and what they don’t.
Shutters came later, but they quickly became the product I’m most proud to sell. The precision of fit, the quality of finish, the way a beautifully fitted shutter can transform the character of a room — I fell in love with it. And because I offer the full picture — shutters, blinds, curtains and soft furnishings — I can advise you honestly on what will actually work best for your home.
Everything I do, I do with a passion.
A home visit, always
I come to you. I survey every window, we talk through your options, and you leave with a full quote on the day — no chasing, no waiting, no mystery pricing.
Made with care
Everything is made to measure and ordered directly from my trusted manufacturers. My employed fitter — not a subcontractor — carries out every installation, so the standard is consistent every single time.
Small by design
I’m a one-person business, and deliberately so. You deal with me throughout — from your home visit to your fitting day. Nothing falls through the gap.
Trusted by recommendation since 2009.
I’ve dressed thousands of windows across Surrey, Berkshire and West London since 2009 — and almost every new enquiry comes through a recommendation. That means a great deal to me. It tells me that the experience, not just the end result, is something people feel genuinely good about.
I’m a member of the British Blind & Shutter Association (BBSA), which means I work to a recognised professional standard. My coverage area spans Surrey, Berkshire and West London — close enough to care, experienced enough to deliver.
