Savvy modern Window Treatment!

You can use interior window shutters in any room in your home to create a wonderful modern look. Shutters are a good option. They are attractive, help regulate light, insulate and fit into almost any décor due to their simplicity and clean lines. Although available in numerous colors and stains, shutters look best when painted or finished the same as the rest of the window frame.

You can mount them inside or outside the window frame. If you are doing the installation yourself, use an outside mount to make installation easier. Leave room to swing open or fold back the shutter panels.

Choose from many shutter styles to create a modern window treatment:

· Traditional shutters with l-l/4 inch movable louvers
· Plantation shutters with wider louvers ranging from about 2-l/2 to 4-l/2 inches wide
· Café shutters make a good choice if you want to cover just the lower half of a window. Double-hung tiered sets can cover a window completely, giving you more ways to regulate light and privacy.
· Wood shutters offer a greater selection of louver widths, frame styles, stains or colors, but are usually more expensive than vinyl.
· Quality vinyl shutters provide a practical option. They are easier to clean, moisture resistant and won't crack, peel, fade or deteriorate like wood, although color selection is usually limited to white or ivory.
