Congratulations on choosing shutters as your preferred window dressing! Now, the final decision lies in selecting the ideal colour that complements your decor – and wider room – flawlessly. The choice between dark and light shutters is a matter of personal preference, and there is no wrong answer. However, let’s delve deeper into the characteristics of both options to help assist you in which direction you are going to to take with this.
Light Shutters:
Among shutter colours, light shades, especially white, stand as the most popular choice. White shutters hold universal appeal, as they seamlessly blend with any colour scheme. Whether your walls boast a white canvas or vivid tones like black, red, purple, or even polka-dotted sky-blue, white shutters will effortlessly harmonise with their surroundings.
Additionally, if your interior walls are darker in colour, opting for light shutters creates an intriguing contrast, drawing attention to the warmer tones of your walls. This bold and assured design choice will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
You may also consider matching the shutter colour to your window recess as this can visually enlarge a smaller window. Since most windows have white trims, choosing one of our whites for smaller windows is a smart choice to enhance their appearance.
Finally, it’s also important to consider the exterior of your home when deciding on your shutter colours. Homes with vibrant exteriors allow you to freely opt for the lighter shutter as this will accompany the already bright and fun aesthetic of the home. Light shutters will blend seamlessly, guiding the gaze to other external features of your beautiful home.
Dark Shutters:
Light shutters are the more popular options however it’s also important to see that dark shutters, too, have a charm of their own. A bold set of black or dark grey shutters can become a central feature in any room, especially when contrasted with white or cream walls.
Considering the exterior appearance is essential too. If your external walls are brick-colored, dark shutters may appear more natural and harmonious. Fortunately, we offer a wide range of darker colors and natural wood finishes to cater to various design preferences.
