Dual Benefits of Shutters and Blinds

Light and Air

Shutters and blinds can simultaneously control both natural sunlight and air flow thanks to the way their louvers tilt. The hard slats can deflect direct sunlight to allow for softer indoor illumination while fresh air flows easily between the spaces between the louvers. Shutters and blinds can then masterfully control both light and ventilation in a room providing more or less of each as needed.

Privacy and a View

The beauty of the design of both shutters and blinds lies in their astute ability to respond to homeowners need for privacy and desire for a view. Balancing those two priorities with stylish sophistication, shutters and blinds can allow for more privacy or more view by tilting the louvers with a spectrum of partial privacy settings that still have view-through capabilities.

Modern or Classic Aesthetic

The chic, clean lines of hard window treatments like shutters and blinds lend themselves well to classic interior design or more modern residential styles. They make a strong but neutral backdrop so they can be strategically used in a wide range of décors. Shutters and blinds come in a rainbow of neutral colors from white to black including a huge assortment of browns and natural wood tones with additional options in louver sizes, so the hard window treatments can be further specialized to specific design aesthetics.
