What About Colour?
In your Victorian house, traditional interior window shutters
can really bring your home’s entire look together. In those older homes, going for a heritage-inspired look is always the best way to go to ensure an aesthetic consistency. When it comes to traditional plantation shutters, you cannot go wrong with white. Besides fitting in perfectly with any décor, white shutters will add a touch of elegance to your room, as well as a bright and airy atmosphere.
Besides our whites and off-whites, you have other options, too. If you go for our Natural Hardwood shutters, you have the choice of several wood stains and limewash finishes. Stained shutters serve to add a more historic look to your home, blending in seamlessly with older buildings which boast a more historic aesthetic. They are especially suitable in rooms with timber fixtures such as wooden floors or timber framing.
