Are Shutters Outdated? No! Here’s Why They’re Still in Style

Shutters are an elegant and classic window treatment with a long history in interior design. But are they becoming outdated?

Our team at Chase’s Carpet & Blinds can help you find the perfect way to add interior shutters to your home or business. No matter where you’re starting, our team is happy to lend our expertise to your project and answer your questions about shutters.

Here, we will break down how to get the most out of Hunter Douglas interior shutters both in your home and in commercial places.

Interior Shutters Are A Timeless Window Treatment

It’s true–shutters have been around for quite some time. But their enduring appeal has kept them in style for decades. If you aren’t familiar, interior shutters are a type of permanent window treatment with slatted vanes that fit inside a frame. With easy manual manipulation, you can choose the quantity of light and privacy based on your needs throughout the day.

With a variety of designs and styles, interior shutters are versatile window treatments that can fit in both traditional and contemporary home designs–plus, they last for a long time when compared to other window treatments. At Chase’s Carpet & Blinds, we carry Hunter Douglas shutters, which are known for their quality and lasting durability.

Modern Benefits of Shutters

Interior shutters are a stylish option that offers easy control over light and privacy. By adjusting the slats, you can determine exactly how much natural light and brightness to allow throughout the day. Similarly, when you want more or less privacy, it is simple to turn the slats to adjust view-through, allowing you to stay comfortable in your own space.

At Chase’s Carpet & Blinds, we can help you find traditional shutters as well as shutters on a bypass or bi-fold track so that you can enjoy access to wide windows and sliding glass doors. Plus, an often-overlooked benefit of interior shutters is their energy efficiency. This is because shutters provide an extra layer of insulation close to your windows and doors, helping to reduce energy costs by regulating temperatures due to their natural materials.

Best Rooms for Interior Shutters

Interior shutters are perfect for bringing the best out of a space in both commercial and residential spaces. But where should you put them? Three of our favorite placement options are the bedroom, living room or conference rooms, and bathroom.

• In the bedroom, interior shutters can be closed tight at night to block light for better sleep. For busy spaces and kid’s rooms, we recommend a faux wood option like Hunter Douglas NewStyle® Composite Shutters.
• For living rooms and conference rooms, hardwood shutters like Heritance® Wood Shutters, can enhance and complement the aesthetics of your space.
• And, the moisture-resistant materials of Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters, our interior vinyl shutter option, are perfect for bathrooms, both in residential and commercial spaces.
