Classic Shutters
June 22, 2008 9:25 am Window ShuttersIf the windows have original shutters, make the most of them. This is a classic style that has a perfect contemporary relevance when it comes to windows. They provide an architectural definition to the windows without adding any decoration to them at the same time. Shutters prove that the most elegant windows do not need dressing at all.
Using the classic shutters also puts you at a freedom from spending on the window decorations or on blinds, panels or curtains. If you want to add new shutters, wooden replicas of traditional shutters can be made to fit your window, and these are made up of modern wood that is created specially for such types of shutters using the raw wood. The advantage with these wooden replicas is, they do not imbibe water in rainy season preventing problems associated with their closure. However, they might be somewhat expensive than the traditional wood.
You can also opt for a sleeker alternative such as plain lengths of MDF (which is medium density fireboard) hinged together, or go ultra-modern with panels of white perspex.
