Creative Ways to Upcycle Your Old Shutters

Saying goodbye to your new shutters doesn’t always have to mean sending them straight to the trash bin. Wholesale Shutter Co. offers these four ways to turn your broken blinds into a useful item.

Cover the Wall

Cover a wall in your living room with mismatched shutters in various sizes. The hodgepodge of your wood blinds in San Diego can create a focal point in the room. You can keep them in their original, fading color to bring a country feel to your home.

Make a Mail or Photo Board

Creating a mail board out of old shutters is a quirky way to remember those bills that need to be paid. An old shutter is also a great way to show your favorite photos. A rustic photo board can give the home a more welcoming vibe.

Make a Headboard

Vintage shutters make the perfect material for a makeshift headboard. This gorgeous addition is a unique way to give your bedroom a romantic atmosphere. To turn an old shutter into a headboard, paint it in a non-glossy color that matches your room’s interior. You can choose to nail it to your bed or pin it against the wall.

Turn it Into a Divider

Piece two to three shutter panes together to create a room divider. You can paint it with a glossy black coat to achieve a contemporary look. You can also create a nostalgic appeal by keeping it in its original state.
