When it comes to your home’s curb appeal, windows make a lasting first impression. Choosing the appropriate window design is equally important for your home’s interior appearance. In addition to being energy-efficient, plantation shutters are a stylish and prized choice—especially for those living in areas prone to high heat and humidity or moisture. No matter your style, there are numerous ways to incorporate plantation shutters into your plans while also putting your own personal touch into the design inside the home.

3 Interior Design Tips for Plantation Shutters

1. Stick With Consistency 

Keeping a consistent style will tie your interior design together. Plantation shutters work well on all windows large or small, and in any room. When considering your interior design, think about whether you can install plantation shutters on all windows of the house. If it’s not within your budget to do the entire home, then consider the room or rooms you want to use them in, and use them for all of the windows in those designated areas.

2. Hang Drapes or Curtains

While plantation shutters already provide protection from high temperatures, deliver multiple lighting options, and offer privacy from outside, accessorizing them with fabric window treatments can dramatically transform your interior décor. Hanging drapes, curtain panels, and valances are all versatile options that can enhance the charm of plantation shutters. For example, pairing side panel curtains the shutters is a simple, affordable way to add visual appeal.  

3. Play With Color

Wood stained, neutral-tone, and white shutters are always popular and all allow you to get creative with walls and window treatments that border them. The shutters’ wide slats, allow plenty of natural light when you need it and block it when you don’t, allowing for your interior spaces to pop with hues of your choice. Additionally, you may also choose from custom color shutters for a variety of options.
