Window Shutters are a very popular choice among homeowners as a home renovation project. They can drastically transform both the look and feel of a home, and many homeowners want to know about all the different design options they have to choose from so in the end they are happy with their interior window shutters. Odessa residents might not be aware of all the ways that interior window shutters can be customized, but there are many things to consider when figuring out what options will make you happy, or what options will go great with existing furniture and decor options that are currently in someone’s home. Here are some design options to consider when looking for the perfect interior window shutters.
What Material the Shutters are Made From
One design element that many homeowners want to decide on first is what material their interior window shutters are made from. This is probably because they are the most noticeable feature at first glance when having guests in your home. When it comes to interior window shutters, Odessa residents should know that white polyurethane materials are not their only choice to choose from. Natural wood materials are a great option to have in many homes, as wood will complement many home decors. Faux wood composite shutters are a great option for homeowners who like the look of hardwood shutters, but are on a tight budget or don’t want to mess with regularly treating them.
Louver Size of Windows Shutters
Louvers are the horizontal slats that allow in more or less sunlight on interior window shutters. Odessa residents should know that louver sizes are not all the same, and they can have different effects for homeowners while using them. Window shutters will typically have a louver size of three and a half inches, but if you want more privacy and viewing is not a big concern for you, smaller louvers will be more beneficial. Larger louvers will allow in more sunlight, but it will also give the homeowner a better view of what is on the other side of their window. Keep in mind that larger louvers when open make it much easier for others to see into your home as well.
