North Dallas Shutters: Always in Style

In design, some things come and go and some things stay around forever.  These classic elements will always be in fashion no matter what age we’re in or what is currently, “in” fashion.

The shutter is one of the decorative and functional elements of a window dressing that will always be in style no matter what century we’re in because shutters are the best way to show off the true beauty of wood and are elegant with any type of style tastes.

Whether you’re into modern design, designs from other cultures, or love opulence, the right North Dallas shutters for your window will go well with your other design elements in your home.

The Louvered Shutter, for example, is an exterior shutter designed with overlapping uniform slats of wood that’s set into a frame.  They’re very popular for many styles of architecture.  They can enhance your home whether a contrasting color that “pops” is chosen or a neutral color that is complimentary with the home siding is chosen.  They can be stained for a gorgeous look!

The Raised Panel Exterior Shutter is a solid panel of wood with raised rectangular inner panel.  This type of exterior panel looks great with a coordinating window box underneath.  Painted dark, it’s lovely as a more modern look for the home.

The Board and Batten Exterior Shutter is either arched at top or square. They can consist of two sections spaced apart and joined or as a solid panel.  These are beautiful graced on either side of an arched window, especially if the siding is made of natural stone or brick.

The Shaker Style Interior Shutter is a solid panel shutter that blocks out bad weather and bright lights.  They are simple in design and a hallmark of the traditional Shaker style.  These shutters are magnificent in elegant homes that exude class as well as homes with a simple, country feel.  Again, color choices can make a difference when matching design style.

The Plantation Exterior Shutter is perfect for a traditional southern or island theme.  They come in functional styles with wide louvers that can be shut against storms or opened to let in spring, summer, or fall breezes.  Just imagine those with some gorgeous, creamy white sheer curtains!

The California Shutters are interior shutters that are louvered, wide, wooden, with horizontal slats, similar to the exterior Plantation shutter.  Beautiful stained and sealed or painted, these shutters are a classic style everyone loves that can enhance just about any type of designer style.

What’s great about shutters is that they’re not just design elements.  They play a huge role in helping you to cut energy costs.  Interior shutters that are closed do a lot to block and absorb the heat from outdoors.  Wood shutters are even better because the natural tendency of wood is to remain cool and block out the sun’s energy.  Whether you have interior or exterior, the solid panel shutters can be used for protection against storms.
