Using Interior Shutters in Your Home

In the imagination of many, shutters are stationary design elements that sit to the side of the windows outside of the house. But in reality, there are a whole range of interior shutters to broaden your your horizons—these window treatments can serve various needs in rooms throughout your home.

Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters near Miami, Florida (FL)

Join our team at South Kendall Interiors as we take a strategic look at five unique applications for window shutters for the interior that elevate light control, privacy, style, and ventilation for homeowners near Miami.

Hunter Douglas Window Shutters for the Interior

Hunter Douglas makes three unique styles of window shutters designed for interior installation. All three of these shutter styles are available in multiple louver sizes, from the traditional 2 ½” to a wider plantation-style 3 ½” to a more modern 4 ½”.

The differences in each variety lie in the materials they're made of and the upgrade features they offer.

As we go through shutter uses room by room, we'll give our recommendations for which style suits the room the best. Still, it's always good to talk through the options and your specific needs with our design team at South Kendall Interiors before deciding on which style of interior shutter is right for your Florida home.

Best Ways to Use Interior Shutters in Bathrooms

In restrooms, you want to prioritize both privacy and ventilation. For bathroom shutters, opt for smaller louver sizes that decrease visibility for trustworthy privacy and allow for natural airflow when you’d like your windows open. For this room, we also recommend moisture resistant interior shutters, like Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters.

Best Ways to Use Plantation Shutters in Bedrooms

We want to be sure your shutters are primed to help create a sleep-inducing atmosphere. In the bedroom, take your bedroom window treatments to blackout levels by pairing plantation shutters with full drapery for a one-of-a-kind, light-blocking window fashion. When it comes to innate style, the classic look of Heritance® Wood Shutters partners with a variety of fabric options.

Best Ways to Use Interior Shutters in Kitchens

For kitchen windows, we prioritize interior shutters that are easy to clean and that can handle a heavy-traffic area of the home, like the kitchen. NewStyle® Composite Shutters are designed for heavy use, and their ultra-durability stands up well even in the busiest kitchen. We like to style kitchen shutters with larger louvers for better ventilation when needed.

Best Ways to Use Plantation Shutters in Living Room

With the living room being a hub of activities in many homes, the more user-friendly the window shutters can be, the better. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are compatible with PowerView® Automation for the ultimate in user convenience. Plus, in this very public area of the home, the three neutral tones of these shutters goes along with almost any style or trim.

Best Ways to Use Interior Shutters in Home Office

In your home office, plantation shutters can be a tool for productivity helping to create a space more optimal for work. Shutters let in natural light, which is better on the eyes, and reduce glare by deflecting direct light. They can also block distracting views while allowing natural sunlight in for a workspace that's well-lit but still focused on work. Heritance® Wood Shutters can create a productive, stylish, modern space with natural wood finishes and solid paint hues.
