Sometimes, plantation shutters can be called full-height shutters. The panels cover the entire window, from top to bottom, with panels that can be opened as individual pieces. When they are used in harmony with the room’s color scheme, they have a clean look.
For homes that have a country or classic theme, shutters make a great accessory. Shutters can be decorated with shrubs, plants, or flowering plants. You can also decorate the window treatment.
Plantation shutters can be customized according to the options for frame and panel. These are just a few tips to help you get started.
Find the best material for your panels.
Wood
This material can be painted in a variety of colors to match your space. Shops offer staining services. To blend with your furniture, you could choose stained shutters. Wood has a timeless and natural appearance. Wood is lighter than other materials, so you can select smaller but more beautiful panels.
Poly material
Poly material is a durable shutter option. It only comes in two colors but will hold its color for many years (off-white and white). It is resistant to moisture and won’t warp. For areas that are in direct contact with water, such as bathrooms or showers, poly shutters work best.
The downside to poly shutters is their heavier weight than wooden ones. You will need to buy more panels if you want to cover your windows with poly materials.
PVC
PVCs can also be used in moist areas. However, some people dislike their shiny appearance. Although they may not be the best choice for your living room, they are an excellent choice for areas with water.
The right shutter frames
Choose from the most popular shutter frames: trim frame, L frame, and Z frame.
Plantation shutters can be placed in the recess of a window opening (inside mount) or outside the wall’s surface (outside support). This creates a bulky appearance (outside mount).
These frames can be used to mount inside-mount shutters with no wall trim.
L frame: L frames offer more versatility. They can be used in corners without or with wall trim.
Installing your blinds
The store staff will visit your home to measure and install your window blinds. The store staff will provide consultation and usually request a deposit before a deal can be made. It would make it easier to understand the basics of customizing shutters. If you have the creativity and the willingness to create personalized shutters for your home with your family, you can do it. Consider it a bonding activity.
You can have a more beautiful home at a lower cost if you use your imagination and create your own ideas for home decor. Check out designs via Blinds Online site for more decor inspirations for your home.
