Stain shutters really do show the beauty of real wood when it is used to make plantation shutters. While painted colors, such as white or ivory represent the most common choice for customers buying shutters as a window covering, using a stain for shutters can create a much more impressive look within your home.
Leading international interior designer Kelly Hoppen has her own range of plantation shutters, available in a unique range of paint, high gloss lacquer and wood stain colors. These wood stain shutters in particular are sensational, and feature a 7 step production process which combines 2 different colors, giving an 'overwashed' effect. This means that the 2 different colors of stain adhere to the deep grooves of the wood grain at different points and creating a visually stunning and durable effect.
Kelly Hoppen designs interiors both for residential and commercial projects. From the Beckham's house in LA to British Airways First Class cabin, Kelly's unique style has gained credit and respect the world over.
These shutters shown have 3 panels. 2 shutter panels hinged left and 1 right. The wood stain applied to the elm is called 'Stonewashed Clay' and is a dark color. The wood used to make the shutters is FSC approved Elm which has been kiln dried to avoid any warping.
