Café Shutters Are a Classic Choice
When you get to the part of the building process that focuses on the home decor, you will want to take a careful step back and think about how you will actually be using the space in your home. It may be tempting to just go with standard fare in your eagerness to be done with the project. However, by examining your lifestyle, you can make sure that you are happy with your shutters long term. For several areas of your home, café shutters are a traditional choice. You may decide that they work just right for your needs as well.

The most common place to install this type of shutter is in the kitchen, dining area and bedrooms. Because café shutters only cover a portion of the window, they are ideal for any room that requires privacy but would also benefit from having an abundance of natural light. This type of shutter goes inside your home and only covers a portion of your window, usually the bottom part. The smaller louver makes them very flexible. You can actually install two sets, covering both the top and bottom of your window. This will make it possible to adjust each portion of the window separately.
The most common reason that home owners choose these traditional shutters is because of the flexibility offered. As long as you choose the correct window width, the height of the window doesn’t matter. If you have a taller window, you will just be covering a smaller percentage when you place the café shutters at the bottom. Another thing to take into account is your budget. It makes sense that by only covering half the window, you can reduce your costs. This is a major advantage. The rest of the window can then be left bare on top or covered with a valance or small curtain. Finally, shutters fit into all types of home decor. They serve as a blank canvas, providing plenty of options for your decorating style.
When you get to the end of your project, it’s important to take the time to get it right. Examine your lifestyle and determine the areas that would most benefit from café shutters. You want to install them in the kitchen and dining area and also one or more bedrooms. For privacy, light and classic styling, you can’t beat this popular choice in window coverings.
