Plantation shutters in custom colors
Comments (4)Agree with nini804. If you call shutter companies in your area, they can paint them whatever color you want. Just be aware that if you are looking at a color other than some shade of white or natural wood, that it may hurt resale down the rd. Ie, if you paint them yellow, gray, blue, etc, someone buying may want a different color scheme, and painting installed shutters is a bit#h....See MorePlantation shutter color choice
Comments (11)Stick with a bright white shutter, it works with every color. Your louver size should be 3 1/2 and you will need a cut out for the door handle. As for the frame, stick with an inside mount frame that will overlap the edges (typically called a Z frame) unless you have tilt in windows. You can give up the tilt in feature if you want an inside mount frame but make sure you can remove your screens without having to tilt the window in. You can get an ebook that talks about all aspects of shutters in this blog post Beauty of Shutters. You can also enter to win a free shutter on this facebook page at free shutter. Personally I would prefer a white trim in the home but even with the monochrome look I would go with a bright white shutter. From what I can tell from your picture it looks like the house has a very clean look which would make me recommend a hidden tilt, that is what is on these shutters. You don't see the traditional tilt rod on the front. You will notice the shutter by the bed is closed on the bottom and open on the top. This is what is called a split tilt. It will allow you to open the top for light but leave the bottom closed for privacy while maintaining a uniform look on the shutter panels. This can also be done with a divider rail but it will divide the top and bottom like in the picture below and you see the rail in the middle. It looks like you have a very nice home and I am sure it will all look great! Good luck!...See MoreTrim, Plantation Shutter, Interior Door color
Comments (3)Definitely wouldn't do grey doors, you can do black but it's a bold look. Really any color interior door that isn't white or wood is going to be a harder sell when it comes time to sell the home. Without seeing your home I say go with the regular white, interior doors really shouldn't be the star of the show....See MorePlantation shutter & trim color question
