Modern Shutters for Homes
Interior shutters have been around for hundreds of years since the ancient Greeks started using the slatted design to control light, air flow, and privacy. Over the centuries, interior shutters were refined and redesigned adding new building materials, new features, and new contemporary looks. While the core of shutter design continues to be based in the traditional slatted design, modern shutters are blessed with advancements that have brought the classic treatment into the twenty-first century.
Hunter Douglas’s collection of high-end modern shutters include real wood shutters (Heritance® Wood Shutters), vinyl shutters (Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters), and faux-wood shutters (NewStyle® Composite Shutters) with modern amenities and upgrades customizable to individual tastes and household needs.
Updated Features of Modern Shutters
Louver Sizes
Modern shutters can be fabricated with louvers of multiple sizes. Hunter Douglas interior shutters have the option of small (2.5 inch), medium (3.5 inch), or large (4.5 inch) louvers. All three louver sizes operate in the same manner tilting up or down to open or close the treatment. Each has unique features that are created by the different louver sizes. Smaller louver sizes have a more classic aesthetic and are ideal for smaller rooms or smaller windows as their proportionately smaller louvers don’t overwhelm the space. On the other hand, larger louvers speak to a more contemporary look. Additionally, larger gaps between the larger louvers increase view-through abilities, making them ideal for picture windows and windows with a view.
Bold Colors
In modern interior design, there are a vast array of color palettes and color play used in residential décor. A benefit of many types of modern shutters is that they can be customized in a range of hues to suit the unique color scheme of your home. Classic interior shutters, usually with smaller louvers, are often done in wood tones, and the natural hues still look warm and welcoming in modern homes. Bolder neutral hues like black or white are also available for modern shutters and, when used on treatments with larger louver sizes, helps to craft a more up to date window treatment. White shutters are also quite popular because they create a bold but neutral backdrop that is cooperative with most color palettes and presents a clean, sophisticated look in any room of the home.
Motorization
Upgrade the operating system on your interior shutters to a motorized system for the latest in user convenience. PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas is available on Palm Beach™ Shutters and adds the precision of motorized movements for better efficiency and a wide selection of user-friendly interfaces for easier control.
Layered Treatments
A strength of modern shutters is that they can stand on their own as a sole treatment for windows or they can work with other coverings to create layered window fashions. Popular pairings include shutters with side panels or shutters under full drapery. Layered treatments not only have functionally enhanced performance thanks to the cooperative power of all the individual elements, but they also allow for infinite personalization as homeowners can build one-of-a-kind window fashions for their home.
