What You Need to Know About Interior Shutters in 2025
Interior shutters are and always have been a popular window covering. They add instant sophistication to your home and will highlight your windows with charm. Today, our team at Unusual Designs is delighted to discuss what to consider when investing in plantation shutters, introduce our selection, and explain how our professional designers can assist.
What to Consider When Investing in Plantation Shutters
While there are many factors to consider when investing in plantation shutters, here are a few of the most important.
Louver Size can change the entire look of your plantation shutters. The basic rule of thumb is the wider the louver, the more casual the look, and the thinner the louver, the sleeker the design. Louver size also affects light and privacy. Wide louvers let in more natural light but compromise your privacy, while thin louvers do the opposite.
Cleaning is always a priority. Plantation shutters are easy to maintain with frequent dusting and mild soap and water.
Home Value is another essential factor. Plantation shutters are considered a permanent fixture in the home. If you plan to sell in the near future or down the road, plantation shutters can add value during the appraisal.
