Why Plantation Shutters Never Go Out of Style
Many kinds of window treatments have come and gone, styles passing into and out of fashion. But one style that has not ceased to be featured in homes around the world, even after hundreds of years, are shutters. Shutters have stood the test of time, remaining a beloved window treatment for countless homes around the world. And the popularity of these window treatments isn’t a mistake or odd coincidence; the design and aesthetics of plantation shutters have created a timeless treatment that looks great in any home and comes with all kinds of practical benefits. Our team at Fine Shadings & Decor is ready to help you learn more about these treatments, so come along as we look at plantation shutters and how an ancient window treatment has remained a classic fashion for centuries.
Why Plantation Shutters Never Go Out of Style
Because of their timeless aesthetic
The hard louvers of plantation-style shutters have clean, straight lines that translate into a simple yet graceful silhouette. This chic silhouette is then manifested in a neutral hue like wood tones or white, creating an impartial window treatment that is compatible with any number of interior design styles. With its ability to harmonize with designs across the board, shutters have found a home in our homes for centuries.
Because being comfortable never goes out of style
Shutters allow homeowners to balance light control, airflow, and privacy all at once simply by tilting the louvers up or down. This makes shutters an incredibly responsive and versatile window treatment that can respond to any number of different and changing needs in the home. And since being comfortable and feeling protected never goes out of style, neither do the window treatments that help create that feeling at home.
Because durability is beautiful in its way
Plantation style shutters are made from various materials such as hardwood, vinyl, and faux-wood composites, but one thing all the materials have in common is their hard and durable nature. Shutters will last for years in a home, even under heavy use, without showing the wear and tear that one might see in fabric shades of a similar age. Once installed, shutters can maintain their efficiency and style for the life of the window treatment.
Because there are also modern options
The shutters of today, though rooted in the same design as the original models originally from Ancient Greece, are not stuck in the past. Instead, Hunter Douglas has brought the treatment into the twenty-first century with the addition of motorization using PowerView® Automation.
Because cord-free also means child-safe
When it comes to young children and small pets, safety is paramount. As such, the fact that plantation shutters are naturally cord-free is a significant factor that’s kept them popular with families throughout the years since hanging cords on other window shades can pose a strangulation hazard to both pets and small children.
