Shutters add architectural interest and detail to your home’s exterior. They can brighten up dull areas of your home or enhance its unique features. For this, be sure to choose one that will complement and improve your home’s exterior style and curb appeal.
About Shutters
Shutter can be made of vinyl, paintable resin-based composites, stainable or paintable cedar, cypress, and pine. Standard shutters can have a height of 12 to 81 inches and widths of 12 to 15 inches. We offer custom shutters in Los Angeles that can be of any size, width, and color you desire. You can count on our design team to recommend the ideal shutter.
Style Considerations
Shutters come in a wide range of style options. Choose one that will blend with your home’s architectural style and surrounding landscape. Drive around your neighborhood or searching online for more ideas.
Generally, raised or flat-panel shutters work best on European, Colonial, and Federal home’s style. Meanwhile, board-and-batten shutters blend well with cabins, farmhouses, and Tudors. For a tropical or Mediterranean appeal, go for Bermuda or Bahamas shutters. Our shutter design team will be happy to provide the best discount shutters in Southern California to match your home’s architectural theme.
Color Considerations
Select shutters that will stand out against your home’s exterior color. For instance, black shutters can serve as a bold statement on white Colonial-style homes. Cream shutters, on the other hand, complement cedar-shingled cottages. You can opt for wood shutters in San Diego that come with strong hues, such as bright yellows and greens, to give your home a refreshing or earthy appeal. Make sure to choose a shutter color that is apparent in your home’s exterior.
Minor But Important Details
Choose shutters that will fit your windows properly. They should match the length of the window trim and be about 25% to 33% of the window’s width. You should also consider spaces between your windows. An efficient way of making things uniform is by installing shutters of the same width on every window of your home. Add more character by decorating them with custom cut-out patterns, such as pine or palm trees.
