The first thing to state is that there’s no right and no wrong. Whichever color you feel is right for you and your decor tastes, then that’s the color to go for. We have 7 different shades of white and off white shutters to choose from in our standard range and a stunning white shutter from our Kelly Hoppen Designer range. However, try to think about and take into account the following factors...
The main starting point when deciding the color of your shutters is to really get a clear picture of the type of look you want for your room. If you have a very light decor and want to add to this look with lighter window coverings, then white shutters will work well. However within that spectrum of whites you can add warmth by going with one of the white shutters colors which has a little more cream in the paint. This makes quite a difference as sometimes pure white shutters in a very bright white painted room can look a little cold. The ivory and shell paint shutters are just a little warmer and can make a difference, decor wise, within your home.
We at www.theshutterstore.com are seeing more customers going to the ‘warmer’ range of whites as opposed to the pure white finish which historically was the automatic color of choice for people ordering wooden shutters. The ‘white’s’ at the warmer end of the spectrum (such as alabaster shutters) still ensure that the room is light and airy, but those warmer paint tones do make the room feel more snug and intimate as a rule.
Of course, the other big factor to consider is the size of the window when looked at versus the size and layout of the room. For example, if you had a large feature window and this was a focal point of the room, you have to carefully consider which color of shutters works best for you. White shutters and off white shutters certainly work best if you want to retain neutrality within the space and at The Shutter Store you can choose from an exceptionally wide palette of wonderful painted shutters at no extra charge.
Whatever your decor preference, make sure you contact us at the Shutter Store for any style or design tips you need.
