SHUTTERS BEYOND WINDOWS: CREATIVE USES IN HOME DECOR

Shutters are more than just functional window coverings. Traditionally used to control light and provide privacy, shutters have evolved beyond their intended purpose. From adding a touch of rustic charm to a modern space to serving as multi-functional decorative pieces, plantation shutters have found their way into various aspects of home decor. Let's look at the creative and innovative ways shutters can be used into interior design, changing spaces with their unique appeal.

A SPLASH OF COLOR: INTERIOR DESIGN WITH PAINTED PLANTATION SHUTTERS

In the world of interior design, every element plays an important role in shaping the visual appeal and character of a space. Among the diverse variety of design choices available, few hold the power quite like plantation shutters. These versatile window coverings, known for their timeless elegance and functionality, can be further elevated with a simple yet impactful addition: a touch of paint. Plantation shutters, with their classic design and clean lines, have long been a staple in homes, offering both privacy and light control. However, the option to paint these shutters opens a world of creative possibilities, allowing homeowners to personalize their spaces with personality and style.

Common Questions About Shutters

What materials are plantation shutters typically made from?

The 2 most common materials plantations are made from are wood and poly (plastic). Wood shutters have become the preferred choice for homeowners because they are easy to customize to match any size or shaped window. There are a variety of colors and stains available to match both your personal preferences and interior décor. Here at Cal Coast Shutters, we design and manufacture your plantation shutters using 100% real basswood.

Can shutters be customized to fit different window sizes and shapes?

Yes. Most windows are generally “square” in dimension, but if you have a window that is a different shape such as an arch, circle, or octagon; because we use real wood, we can customize shutters to both the window shape, size and color or stain needed.

How do shutters differ from blinds and curtains?

There are several ways that shutters differ from blinds and curtains; shutters are solid and stable window coverings usually made of wood attached to the window frame. They have adjustable louvers that can be tilted to control light and privacy levels. On the other hand, blinds are made of slats connected by strings and can be raised or lowered for light control. Curtains are fabric panels that hang from a rod and be drawn open or closed. While blinds and curtains offer a wider range of design options, shutters provide better insulation, light control, and the ability to customize around any size or shaped window.

How much are shutters?

There are several factors that determine the price of shutters such as the size of the windows, the material being used, and the level of customization required. On average, the cost is anywhere between $400 - $800 a window. It’s important to consult with a trusted shutter company to come to your residence and take precise measurements to give you an accurate quote.

What is the installation process for shutters?

Yes. You will have the owner of Cal Coast Shutters come to your home personally for a consultation and to provide precise measurements. The price quote we provide includes measurement and installation. As a locally owned and family operated shutter provider, you will get personal attention to your project and not a sales rep who is at your residence to close a sale and move on.

Why are Wood Shutters Better than Plastic Shutters?

There are many reasons why we feel wood shutters are superior to plastic shutters.

Just a few of the reasons are:

Wood shutters are the most durable window treatment option in the market that can last for decades. Poly (plastic) shutters tend to warp, crack, and fade and need to be replaced in about 6-10 years.
Wood shutters can be manufactured in just about any shape, size, color or configuration imaginable to meet your specific needs. Plastic is limited in size, shape and color.
If wood shutters are damaged, a new component can be fabricated to match any style and finish. It may be difficult to find a component to match the style and color of a plastic shutter.
Wood offers an unlimited choice of paint and stain colors available. Plastic usually offers a very limited choice of colors.

Do shutters come with any warranty or guarantee?

Yes! All window treatment companies should have a warranty on their work. Here at Cal Coast, we provide a warranty that our shutters are free from defects in materials and workmanship. If there should be a defect, Cal Coast Shutters will repair or replace any shutter or shutter component that fails due to faulty material. Paint finishes are guaranteed for 10 years, stain finishes for 5 years.

Can shutters be used for sliding glass doors?

Yes! We offer a free in-home consultation. Cal Coast will take a look at the interior decor of your home and show you the options available. We also listen to YOUR ideas and answer any questions you may have. Just fill out our Request Estimate form and our team will schedule a consultation with you.

Can Home Shutters Increase the Value of My Home?

Yes. Shutters can potentially increase the value of your home. Not only do they add aesthetic value to a property, but also provide functional benefits including light control and insultation. We use only REAL wood at Cal Coast Shutters, if you choose a company that uses synthetic (plastic) shutters then the home value will increase nominally as opposed to real wood.

Advantages of Plantation Shutters

Classic Style for Timeless Appeal

Plantation shutters are well-known for their classic and sophisticated appearance. Their wide louvers and clean lines add a touch of elegance to any room, making them a versatile choice that complements various interior styles. Whether your home has a traditional, contemporary, or eclectic design, plantation shutters perfectly integrate into the overall appeal of your home.

Customization for a Perfect Fit

Unlike standard blinds or curtains, plantation shutters offer a high level of customization. They can be tailored to fit any window size or shape, providing a perfect fit for your home. The ability to customize the color, material, and louver size allows you to create a cohesive look that improves the overall design of each room.

Light Control and Privacy

One of the key benefits of plantation shutters is their excellent light control. The adjustable louvers allow you to regulate the amount of natural light entering your home, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The ability to tilt the louvers at various angles allows you to maintain privacy without sacrificing the beauty of natural light.

Energy Efficiency

Plantation shutters are not just about aesthetics; they also contribute to energy efficiency. When closed, the shutters create an additional layer of insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures. This can result in lower energy bills by reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling throughout the year.

Constructed from high-quality materials such as basswood or synthetic polymers, plantation shutters are built to last. Their durability makes them an excellent long-term investment for your home. Their low maintenance requirements make them a practical choice for busy homeowners, as they can be easily cleaned with a quick wipe.
