The Best Types of Shutters for Every Room

The Best Types of Shutters for Every RoomTimeless, durable, and beautiful, shutters have been a staple in homes for hundreds of years. Of course, they’ve come quite a long way since their inception. For example, Hunter Douglas shutters expand beyond just a simple, genuine wood window treatment. In fact, they have been engineered to meet the needs of several different rooms, including busy living rooms, cozy bedrooms, and even high-humidity kitchens. So, out of these different types of shutters, which one is best for each room in your home? We are glad you asked:

When it comes to bedrooms, you want to create a peaceful, private space that blocks out unwanted light, reduces outside noise, and offers plenty of light control. With their thick slats, Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters do just that. Simply adjust the louvers to invite light in, darken the space, or enjoy total privacy when you need it most. To complement your bedroom’s style, these shutters come in a wide variety of slat colors and even specialty cuts for unique windows. With Heritance® Wood Shutters, your bedroom will feel like an oasis of relaxation designed just for you.  

From movie nights to holiday gatherings, the living room is where life happens. So, window treatments in this space should exude comfort and beauty and be able to withstand wear and tear. This is where NewStyle® Composite Shutters by Hunter Douglas shine. Combining the beauty of natural wood with the resilience of man-made materials, these shutters are excellent for your high-energy living spaces.

They also make enjoying precise light control and privacy a breeze. Whether you want to filter sunlight during a lazy afternoon of movie washing or close the louvers for a more intimate setting, NewStyle® Composite Shutters combine beauty, durability, and practicality with ease. 

Kitchens are bustling hubs of activity, filled with heat, humidity, and the occasional splash of sauce that missed the bowl. For a classic style that can withstand heat, humidity, and a few spills here and there, we recommend Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. Crafted with a Polysatin™ compound, these shutters are easy to clean and are guaranteed to never fade, warp, bow, chip, or discolor.

Available in a range of neutral tones, these shutters blend effortlessly into any kitchen design, from modern farmhouse to contemporary chic, and can adapt to any interior design trends that develop in the future. With these types of plantation shutters, your kitchen will feel polished and welcoming for years to come. 

Whether upgrading a single room or your entire home, Hunter Douglas shutters offer the beauty, durability, and functional benefits each space requires. From superior privacy for bedrooms to unparalleled durability for kitchens, Hunter Douglas has the perfect shutter for your home.
