Custom-made window shutters have way more to offer
We always look for subtle ideas to add value to our homes, and installing window shutters is a great way to do precisely this. Like blinds, window shutters are made of vinyl, and composite.
The significant difference between shutters and blinds is that blinds are attached inside or above the window recess. In contrast, shutters are connected to the window frame for a more sturdy structure. Custom-made window shutters have way more to offer than just keeping the sun out, including the provision of privacy and security. In addition, it protects against weather or unwanted intrusion or damage and enhances the aesthetics of a building.
Uniqueness
What makes shutters unique is that they’re custom-designed for your home; their fit, function, and appearance are all unusual, which gives each shutter the wow factor. When you sell your home, curb appeal significantly impacts the value and how quickly it gets sold.
Insulation from the weather:
The main reason window shutters will add value to your house is that they are great insulators. Window shutters are far more effective than drapes or blinds when it comes to keeping your home cool. This is because they’re thicker and add an extra insulation layer to your windows. They’re easily a worthwhile investment as they offer the same effect as double-glazed windows.
Security improvement:
Security is one of our primary concerns when the house is concerned. Shutters can make it difficult for outsiders to look into your home.
Mix and match your window treatments
Frankly, there are no hard and fast rules about mixing and matching window treatments. However, it would be best to always be cautious when creative with your window shutter design.
Layer with care
You can layer two window treatments on one window. If you layer correctly, you can add interest and texture to a space while maintaining the functionality of the shutters. Shutters frame the window and can complement your furniture as well.
One Room, One Treatment
Though it is up to you to decide, maintaining the same treatment for a room is a better choice. Window treatments like shutters help create a space, so having more than one treatment can make a room feel disjointed or awkward.
Street Appeal
There are no rules that restrict using varied window treatments in different rooms of the house. However, many experts recommend using the same or similar treatments all around the home to maintain a cohesive feeling.
Adding elegance
Try pairing shutters with different drapes in separate rooms. This will keep your windows looking uniform from the outside but allow each room to be unique on the inside.
Make windows look bigger
When homeowners look to decorate the rooms, they often want to make them look as spacious and big as possible. Shutters do help you to achieve a more spacious-looking living area. Shutters are fitted within the recess of a
window, so they sit firmly against the wall, unlike more traditional fittings such as drapes. They can also be installed so that the window sill is no longer visible and the frame hides it. This, in turn, creates blank space around and on either side of the window. Because more wall and floor space show, the room looks more spacious.
