Shutters with drapes or installing shutters with fabric blinds is not for everyone. Many of our customers are ordering plantation shutters as they want to get rid of their drapes or, they have some sort of fabric blind or sheers that they wish to change. Opting to buy full height plantation shutters and installing these with drapes can be challenging if you are wanting to open back the shutter panels. However, cafe style panels are much better and easier to incorporate with drapes as it's easier to open and close the panels. As these photos show, Eric from Mahwah NJ succeeded in combining all 3 window treatments very successfully. Eric tells us,
"We had drapes and sheers originally. However our front window had a little too much exposure, both because you could look from the front of the house to the back, and before, with sheer panels, our three cats would tangle themselves and tear holes in them . Now we have a beautiful look and the cats are happy when we open the shutters. By the way a shout out to Jennifer who was very helpful!''
Eric thank for the kind words about Jennifer and glad we helped along the way. Many customers ordering shutters think that you can't incorporate fabric blinds with shutters or drapes with shutters, but your cafe style design works perfectly and you have gained the privacy you were looking for. Good job on the installation of your shutters as I can see you've incorporated the shutters within the recess and kept your molding visible in the room. Lovely installation and look!
