What Is a Plantation Shutter?
No window treatment is more reminiscent of the American South than interior plantation shutters. Plantation shutters are a classic window treatment that will add instant sophistication and charm to your overall home’s design. Their durable construction and versatility makes them a great fit for a variety of uses.
Our team of experts at Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center in Alpharetta, GA, is delighted to discuss the features of plantation shutters and some creative ways to use them in different rooms of your home.
A Brief History of Plantation Shutters for the Interior
Plantation-style shutters date back to Mediterranean region where they originated in ancient Greece and crossed over to Rome and Italy, then carried over to the Americas in the 18th Century, where they were used in South for window ventilation and protection.
Plantation shutters are interior shutters known for their architectural appeal and charm. Not only will they enhance the inside of your home, but they will also offer excellent curb appeal. They are built with rows and rows of slats (or louvers) with or without a middle slat control bar.
At Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center, we offer Hunter Douglas plantation shutters in several different slat sizes, and the rule of thumb is that the wider the slat, the grander the view out, and the thinner the slat, the sleeker the look.
Enhance Your Interior with Hunter Douglas Plantation Shutters
Now that you know a little bit more about plantation shutters, here are a few ways that you can use them to enhance your home’s aesthetic. We proudly carry three different plantation shutter styles, each with unique features. Read on to learn how you can use them in various interior spaces of your home.
- Whether you are styling a quaint, cozy guest bathroom or a gourmet kitchen, consider using Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. These shutters are perfect for spaces like kitchens and bathroom as they resist moisture and humidity. We offer them in three soft neutral hues and will make your space feel open, clean, and bright. You can operate vinyl plantation shutters manually or with PowerView® Automation, an innovative motorization system by Hunter Douglas.
