Monday Musings: Tips To Choosing Beautiful Window Shutters

When you are looking for window treatments, having interior window treatments that are like shutters is a good idea. They are classy, available in many colours and styles to fit any window. Their anatomy is simple, a hinge in the middle allows them to fold back, or they install on each side of the windows and open in the middle. They are affordable as any other window treatment, but they are sturdier than many of the others of it's kind. Interior shutters are a definite improvement to any window.

There are many styles that these window treatments come in. White is a common colour and there are others as well. Wood stains are also available, whatever you would like to compliment the style of your home and décor. You can choose from two panel sets that open in the middle, or you can choose four panel sets that open from the sides and have hinges in the middle. You can even pick out some that have adjustable panels for light control in your home – whichever is easier for you!

Again, the styles are all different but these window treatments are relatively the same. It's just like the exterior treatments. They mount to the sides of the windows and open, either with hinged frames on either side, or with the handles in the middle of a four panel set with hinges in the middle of those. The four panel ones look a little like accordions! They each have control also, thanks to a rod in the middle of the slats that manipulates them open or closed. You can close them and still let light in by controlling the slats in the wooden frames. This is very much akin to the way blinds work, using the pole to make the blinds open and close. This makes the wooden treatments customisable and easy to use.

These kinds of window treatments have their advantages over conventional styles of Venetian blinds. They last longer and they are easier to clean. With blinds, dust and grime can be trapped between the slats and because they can be flimsy, it can be impossible to get them really clean without spending hours fiddling about or dismantling them. The slats on the shutter-style window treatments are made of hard plastic or wood, and can be opened to capacity and wiped down. They will stand up to more wear and tear than your average set of Roman shades or vertical blinds.

Even when you choose your shutters, make sure they are what you want. They can be costly, but they are also available in inexpensive customised styles. These are simple and yet still very decorative. Shutters are easy to find online. If you need help, talk to the experts who supply this type of bespoke window treatment.
