Plantation Shutters are Timeless and Versatile

Plantation shutters are one of the most popular and referenced style of shutters. Despite their popularity, many are unaware of their historical origins or what sets them apart from other shutter styles such as Traditional, Colonial or Café Shutters.

Shutter names and styles often reference specific characteristics or adaptations of a regional area. The plantation shutter refers to the common style and characteristics seen throughout southern states. First appearing on plantation and farmland homes which were more exposed due to flat terrain or hilltop locations, the shutter's utilized wider blades (louveres) than the northern counterparts (Traditional shutters) to vary the amount of light and ventilation through the house, as well as providing a more unimposing view over the plantation when opened.

Today, these wide blade shutters have become a popular choice among homeowners everywhere for their versatility and stability when covering larger windows or glass doors. While traditional plantation shutters were typically painted white, today they are often customized with various colors and stains to match interior design preferences creating contemporary schemes that are both unique and timeless.
