It is not uncommon for many homeowners to think that all window shutters are the same, and they cannot be customized or decorated. This is not true though as there are many types of window shutters and many configurations to make them decorative shutters. Tampa residents should be aware that there are many more decorative options to choose from other than the material that the window shutters are made out of and also the size of the louvers. Here are some interesting ways to make window shutters more decorative and personable in your home.
Tilt Bar Configuration
The tile bar is the long vertical piece that connects all the louvers together, and makes it possible to adjust them to allow more or less light depending on the owner’s preference. As a way to make decorative shutters, Tampa residents can choose the configuration of their tilt bar. Some individuals like the standard variation that is in the middle of the shutters, while others prefer an offset tilt bar that is more on the side of the shutters.
Hidden or Exposed Hinges
Another aesthetic of window shutters that can be customized is the hinges that open and close the shutters. When it comes to decorative shutters, Tampa residents might prefer to have the hinges hidden, while other prefer to have them exposed because it accents their home or their decor. Regardless if they are hidden or exposed, they still function the same way.
Door Cutouts
