Key Reasons to Choose Colourful Shutters for Your Home
While white is the most common colour for window shutters – it’s a classic, timeless finish that goes with any other interior design style you fancy – there are plenty of other options to choose from if you want your shutters to stand out.
The Bespoke Shutter Company supply and install stylish shutters in London, Essex and Hertfordshire. Here we outline some key reasons to opt for a dash of colour with your window covering.
To Match the Furniture
Wooden finishes such as Chestnut and Rich Walnut, which are available in a range of colours. Will help if you have a traditional, rustic or farmhouse home with a lot of wooden furniture or other features such as exposed beams or a wooden or wood effect floor (such as vinyl or laminate).
These are also a good choice if you have any antique pieces such as a clock (pictured above), or wooden stairs and bannisters. In addition, a wooden finish serves to emphasise the natural grain of the shutters themselves.
To Create a Fun Space
Shutters, particularly full-length ones, create a large blank canvas that is just waiting to be filled. For example, in a child’s bedroom, there’s plenty of scope for them to be as creative they like. Even though every youngster has his or her favourite colour there’s no need to paint the whole of the shutter one colour. Just a few spots will help create a fun space that they will be happy to call their own.
To Make a Bold Statement…
It’s not just a child’s bedroom that benefits from being bold. Remember, the eye is often naturally drawn to the window in any room because it is usually the room’s main source of natural light, so any bright colour will be doubly eye-catching.
A dark finish to your shutters will create a chic, minimalist look, particularly in the kitchen where it could match perfectly with dark worktops.
If you want something a little more bright and welcoming, in the kitchen or lounge you could opt for a rich red. Likewise, bright yellow shutters in the bedroom will create the appearance of sunshine and improve the mood when you wake up in the morning, even if it’s raining outside.
…Or a More Subtle One
A colour doesn’t have to be bold to make a statement, or be truly effective. Pale blue shutters, for example, can evoke water, lakes and the ocean, which makes them a good choice for a bathroom or shower room. The Bespoke Shutter Company has a range of waterproof shutters available to clients in Essex, Herts and London that are ideal in these locations.
Shades of green can help to create a feeling of being in the forest or the countryside. This goes well when you have a few house plants, making it a particularly suitable choice for a conservatory or living room.
Pale grey and off-white shutters create a blank canvas in the bedroom and mean you can change the colour of your walls or bed linen as often as you like and it will still match the colour of your shutter.
