Plantation Shutters and Curb Appeal

Here is a little trick to increasing your home's value - consider purchasing plantation shutters for all windows that are visible from the street in from of your home.  We have found that many consumers consider their window coverings on a room by room basis but ignore the exterior view.  This is an inside only decor perspective.

However, by considering your window covering decor (plantation shutter) decisions from an inside and outside perspective you will add a lot of value to your window covering choice.  Ask yourself:

• What will my choice make my home or business look like as viewed from the outside?
• What will my choice make my interior look like - from room to room?  Think sight lines.
• What outside beauty do I want to visually experience inside my home?
• What outside look do I want to visually limit inside my home?

These questions will help you be a better design thinker.  But, keeping it simple, if you like the look of plantation shutters - and many people do - then be sure that they are visible from every window that faces the street in front of your house.  If you do this, then you can expect instance curb appeal and value.
