The right window treatments can add a powerful touch of style to your home while improving the energy efficiency and comfort of your home. However, it isn’t always easy to pair shutters and curtains, especially when selecting both at the same time. Here are three tips for pairing the window treatments for your home. 

3 Ways to Match Shutters & Curtains

1. Consider Opening Style 

While some shutters open from side to side, others fold downwards from the top of the window sash. Like shutters, curtains can also open from top to bottom or side to side. If you want your window treatments to open the same way and nest behind one another, select those with the same opening style. 

2. Identify the Anchor Color

If you want your curtains and shutters to complement each other in terms of design, start by choosing a main shutter color, then selecting curtains with a pattern in the same anchor color. For instance, if you select shutters stained dark brown, choosing curtains with a dark brown background will tie the look together. 

3. Focus on Contrast 

On the other hand, some homeowners with bolder tastes may want their shutters and curtains to stand out. In that case, choose contrasting colors. For example, a brightly colored set of curtains will look striking against white shutters.
