Brick houses or brick and stone veneer houses are common throughout lots of different parts of the US. They have a certain effortless charm and exude a natural beauty that makes them an incredibly sought after property type.
If you have a brick house, you might want to find a way to complement the natural look of your home with a stylish window dressing. Finding the right covering for your window can help to elevate the look of your property both inside and out.
We’re The Shutter Store, so you won’t be surprised that we always advocate for stylish plantation shutters. Window shutters have a wealth of benefits, from light control to added insulation. However, something that’s often overlooked is the added kerb appeal they provide.
In this blog, we’ll break down how you can use colorful shutters to brighten your charming brick house.
Choose Your Color Scheme
The first step on your way to brightening up your brick house with plantation shutters it to pick your color scheme. We offer various shutter color options that will suit any interior design taste.
All you need to do is decide which colors will complement your brick house inside and out. You’ll be able to choose between warm and cool color tones, and you’re not just limited to the more classic white- and cream-colored shutters.
Make sure you do some research around what colors complement the interior colors you have in your home. It’s important to avoid choosing window covering colors that will clash with your walls and furnishings. If you’re ever stuck, you can’t go wrong with white shutters.
Consider the Shutter Style
While all shutters offer multiple benefits, it’s important to consider the style of plantation shutters you’re looking to brighten up. If you have café style shutters that are designed to let light in whilst maintaining privacy, you might want to opt for a subtle cream or something a little less eye-catching.
If you have tier-on-tier or full-height shutters, why not go a little brighter and bolder with your colour choice? These styles cover the full length of your windows, making them a focal point for anyone passing by. With the right colour, you can create a striking impression both inside and out – perfect for adding personality to your home while maintaining privacy.

How Do I Know What Color I Want?
Do you prefer a timeless, clean look for your home? If understated interiors and subtle colour palettes are your style, consider crisp whites like Vivid or Traffic. These shades pair beautifully with brickwork, creating a fresh and inviting look that feels effortlessly classic.
Or perhaps you lean toward a warmer, brighter aesthetic. Opting for cosy hues like red or yellow can beautifully complement the natural tones of brick, adding a cheerful yet snug vibe to your home, both inside and out.
For those who love a natural, organic feel in their homes, a stained wood finish for your shutters could be the perfect choice. These rich, earthy tones bring the warmth and character of real wood to your interiors, creating a stunning contrast with the brickwork outside your home. It’s a timeless way to balance nature and elegance in your design.
