White shutters are a popular choice as they match windows, and prevent the need to replace window coverings every time you decorate. As your plantation shutters will match many styles of dcor, and in white will go with any colour, this will mean that you don't need to keep replacing them to match your new decorations.
Wood shutters can be re-sprayed if you choose, in order to match a particular colour, or just to refurbish them if they need refreshing.
As shutters fit in the window recess, there is no protrusion into your room, unlike curtains, which are often fitted on the outside of the window recess. This creates a feeling of space within your room, and can be particularly noticeable where curtains have been fitted across the opening of a bay window.
Plantation shutters can be easily maintained, with no need for professional cleaning. Each shutter can be dusted, and wiped clean with a damp cloth when necessary, to maintain their appearance. Dust can be removed to prevent it building up or being harboured in materials, helping those who have allergies such as asthma and need dust levels minimised.
Plantation shutters can help to lower outside noise levels, as they provide a barrier between your windows and your room. Solid shutters will do this most effectively, but plantation shutters can be an excellent solution if you live on a busy road or have high noise levels near your home.
It's now possible to have remote control plantation shutters, making it easy to control light entering from any windows that are difficult to reach such as on stairs or over doors. These are also ideal for someone who is bed-bound but likes to control the light entering their room, or great if you want to control your shutters from the comfort of the sofa! Ideal for those who like their gadgets, or want a quick easy way of opening the shutters in the morning its all done with the press of a button saving time and effort.
Plantation shutters are also a great way of allowing air to circulate in your room but ensure that pets are unable to get out of patio doors, or it's a great way of keeping out unwanted animals!
