3 Helpful Style Tips on Using Shutters in Your Home

Installing window shutters is a great way to add some quick and cost-effective curb appeal to your home. These decorative accents can vividly change the look of your home from both in and out. Keep in mind, however, that shutters come in different styles, so you’ll need to understand how and where to use each one for best results.

Let Wholesale Shutter Co., Inc., the top provider of discount shutters in Southern California, lend you a hand with these helpful tips for using three popular shutter styles:

Painted Shutters

If you have wood shutters, you can paint them to create a unified blend with your interior décor. With the right color, you can use your shutters to achieve an instant focal wall in any space that you place them.

Style tip: Paint your wood shutters in San Diego in a neutral color so it doesn’t contrast too sharply with your home’s interior theme. You can also use gloss sheen as an eye-catching and light reflective accent.

Contemporary Shutters

These shutters can create a traditional feel and can also be useful for controlling the amount of sunlight that gets into the room. Our poly shutters are perfect for this appeal since they are over 7/16” thick, providing more protection and insulation from the elements.

Style tip: Install large louvers if you want to flood your home with ample sunlight. Regulate as desired by simply closing or opening them.

Arched Top Shutters

Consider mixing and matching different shutter styles in one room. If you have arched windows, for instance, our array of plantation shutters (shutters with individual louvers that are 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches wide), can pair nicely to add depth and detail.

Style tip: Mix full-height shutters with partial-height ones to create character for your arched windows. We offer custom shutters in Los Angeles, so you can trust us to provide the right dimensions.
