and sizes. No matter what you choose, take note of what it will be used for and
what design fits the room. Check out more about Window coverings from shades to

Draperies
and curtains provide a lot of versatile looks for a room. They are easy to
install, replace, and change up every now and then. While they are always great
choices for windows, shutters and blinds offer more practicality for homeowners
with little time to tidy up the rooms or change the drapes. Shutters and blinds
are the more ideal choice for people who are in and out of the house since
these window coverings need less maintenance.
OUTDOOR WINDOW COVERINGS:
·
Louvered- louver shutters are commonly built slanted at an
angle to let air in, you may choose from panels made from top to bottom or
divided into two with a material in between.
·
Raised panel- these panel shutters are made with thicker
center panels compared to that of the rest of the shutters. Panel shutters look
very much like a cabinet door.
·
Board-N- Batten- this type is a customized window treatment in
which wood slats are vertically arranged either with space in between; the wood
shutters are attached to two horizontal slats across them. Vertical window
treatments such as this one are best for high raised ceilings.
·
Accordion Shutters- This exterior shutter is made especially
for protection from storms. Based on its name, this custom window treatment works
by pulling out from one side to the other and folding up to be almost
invisible.
·
Horizontal blinds- horizontal blinds are common in most homes
for they are affordable and are easy to maintain.
·
Wood versus vinyl- plantation are commonly made by custom
wood shutters, however , they also come in faux wood and vinyl since they are
cheaper, more durable and moisture resistant. Custom wood shutters and custom
wood blinds are highly recommended for those in search for cheaper yet stylish window
coverings.
Your choice of window
treatment should always take into consideration the type of room they will be
used for (privacy level), size of windows and room, and overall interior design
of the area. There are unlimited choices for every taste and preference. Take
time to really think about how you want your windows to look to avoid getting
too overwhelmed by the options.
