Are Shutters Still in Style in 2026

Yes, shutters remain firmly in style for 2026 because they look architectural, last for as long as you own your home, and offer precise control over light and privacy. Wood shutters or wooden shutter blinds, as they are sometimes referred to, are very versatile. Whether you prefer a modern, sleek aesthetic or a cozy traditional interior, shutters work because they are custom-made and offer a variety of louver options, paint or stain finishes, and blend seamlessly with any decor. Look at the photos below showing some of our work.

Elevate Your Home With Timeless White Shutters

White plantation shutters complement any interior from classic to contemporary, offering a pleasing, fresh, and clean look that elevates the entire room. White shutters reflect light, creating an illusion of a brighter, more spacious environment. The neutrality of white and off-whites set a stunning backdrop for your furniture and art.

Cafe Shutters

Café style shutters are half-height window treatments that cover only the lower portion of a window. They offer a balance of street-level privacy and maximum natural light from the uncovered top section. These shutters can be ideal for ground floor or street facing rooms as they block external sightlines while letting daylight stream in through the upper glass. Café shutters emphasize proportion rather than covering the entire window, drawing attention to the architectural detail. They work well with both tall or distinctive windows as well as in smaller spaces because they help maintain an open feel by providing light through the top portion of glass and yet privacy when needed on the lower section of the window. When designed thoughtfully, they enhance the room without competing for attention. They can be customized to fit all different window heights and with our design expertise they will feel like a permanent part of the window.

Bypass Sliding Shutters for Sliding doors

Sliding shutters are an excellent and durable option for covering sliding glass doors. They offer superior light control and energy efficiency. Utilizing a sliding track allows the panels to slide instead of hinging open into the room. If there is enough wall space the shutters can slide completely out of the glass area. The adjustable louvers provide precise control over light and privacy. The solid panels create an insulating barrier, helping to regulate room temperature and potentially reduce energy bills. They offer a clean, architectural, and built-in look that adds sophistication to a rooms interior. Sliding shutters are also a safe choice for pets and children as they are durable, easy to clean, and don’t have any cords or strings.

The Beauty of Natural Wood Shutters

These shutters were made of Douglas fir as per the client’s request. Douglas fir is a beautiful choice for custom shutters and can certainly add a warm, inviting feeling to a room. Douglas fir is a durable softwood known for its prominent grain pattern, which adds character and texture to the wood. These natural variations in the wood grain are impossible to replicate with manufactured materials. We are the manufacturer and can produce shutters to suit any interior design.
