If you are looking to up the curb appeal of your house, look at dressing your windows with traditional exterior panel shutters. Originally designed centuries ago as a practical window dressing for privacy and security, the paneled shutter still protects homes from weather, though in many situations these times the key purpose may be for ornamentation.
Produced in all shapes, sizes and panel configurations, shutters can be mounted on operable camera hinges or straight alongside the window. Choosing the design and color of panel shutters is similar to picking a door style. Choose a panel design and color that excite you, match your house’s design and supply pizzazz and curb appeal.
