Get The Most From Your Shutters!

Window shutters provide a stylish and affordable alternative to drapes and curtains. They not only add architectural interest to a window but also increase the beauty of the entire room. There are a range of stylish shutters available for your home, but one should know how to use them to add extra touch of elegance in a space.

• Shutters are available in a wide range of maintenance-free materials such as plastic, vinyl, and lightweight metal, thus making it less expensive to add decorative shutters to any window. People tend to choose real wood shutters for their living room because of their classy look. For high-moisture areas such as bathroom, vinyl shutters will work best as they won’t warp when exposed to water.

• There are four most popular types of shutters: plantation shutters, solid shutters, tier on tier shutters, and café style shutters. Plantation shutters suit most spaces, but if you want more light control, then go for tier on tier shutters. Solid shutters are ideal for a more traditional appearance. As the name suggests, café style shutters are a good choice for restaurants and cafés. 

• In recent years, shutters have become a stylish way to dress French and patio doors. Their aesthetic appeal and eye-catching finish can complement any room décor & door style.

When choosing shutters, make it sure you really understand the differences between shutter types and styles in order to get most out of them. You can create both contemporary and traditional look with shutters that are easier to maintain and last longer.
