Painted finish or visible wood grain?
A stained finish brings out the natural character of hardwood, while paint gives you another way to coordinate with the room. Seeing samples beside existing trim helps you compare the tones and decide how much contrast you want.
Wood shutters suit rooms with controlled humidity. For a humid bathroom or a location exposed to water, compare vinyl shutters. Composite shutters offer another wood-inspired appearance, though their wood content also makes placement important.
Fit the shutter to your window
We’ll help you choose the frame and louver proportions, then measure around trim, handles, and the space needed to open the panels. Consider both the closed appearance and the view when the louvers are open.
Louvers and panels need operating clearances, so wood shutters do not eliminate every line of light. Tell us how you use the room and whether nighttime privacy or bedroom darkness is especially important.
