Enhancing Your Home’s Style with Exterior Shutters

Exterior shutters once served a functional purpose of keeping the elements out of your home both functional and aesthetic; however in today’s age, exterior shutters contribute significantly to your home’s curb appeal, eliciting a historic and homey feel. That’s why selecting the right shutters to complement your home’s architectural style is important.  

Traditional homes benefit immensely from exterior shutters. For colonial-style homes, traditional paneled or louvered shutters offer a timeless elegance that enhances symmetry. Craftsman-style homes benefit from shutters with simple geometric designs and warm, earthy tones. Board and batten shutters add rustic charm while maintaining a refined aesthetic.  

Victorian-style homes, with their intricate detailing and mix of architectural elements, are complemented by historic shutters featuring intricate cut-out patterns or decorative hardware.  

However, traditional homes aren’t alone in benefiting from exterior shutters. Modern homes, characterized by clean lines and minimalist design, benefit from shutters with streamlined profiles and neutral finishes such as Bahama shutters, which provides a relaxed costal aesthetic.   

When choosing exterior shutters, consider factors such as proper size, style, and color to ensure they not only complement your home’s architectural style but also provide lasting beauty.
