Can't Quite Afford Shutters? Consider this.......

Perhaps you love the look of plantation shutters, but like many of us are living on a budget.  In this case, we have a suggestion - consider real wood stained blinds with a 2 1/2" slat.  The larger slat matches the view through provided by shutters with 2 1/2" louvers and the stain provides a higher end design look.

The larger view through, coupled with the rich look of stain, creates a look which rivals the elegance of shutters, except done on a budget.  Of course, plantation shutters are in a league of their own with thicker louvers and their panel door look.  However, when you consider that most people choose white shutters, the option to have a rich stained look in a 2 1/2" wood blind maximizes value toward a shutter-like look - but on a wood blind budget.


One last thing to remember, your design look will be stand alone - meaning that the stained wood blinds with the 2 1/2" louvers will be on display in your home and there will be no shutters in sight with which to compare. As such, the high-end elegance of your wood blind design choice will be seen for the exception look and beauty which it represents - and only you will know how much money your saved.

If you would like 2 1/2" stained wood blinds in your home, then we would love to help you.  Also, for a rough idea of what your project might cost, check out our online wood and faux wood blind calculator.

I want to get some nice shutters for my home, but I'm not sure how to go about choosing them. It makes sense that I would want to consider plantation shutters! I like that they can add such a high level of elegance to a room.

Thanks for reminding me that this design is stand-alone. I think I could work with it. Might take a bit longer to get the wall decorations to match well but I can do it.

Thanks for sharing how I can get blinds that look like plantation shutters. That would take my house up to another level. Now it just depends on if I can find a contractor to help me out.

It helped when you mentioned that the shutters that you will choose will give the beautiful look to your room. My uncle mentioned to me last night that they are planning to have plantation window shutters installed in their new home and asked if I have any idea what is the best option to do. Thanks to this informative article and I'll be sure to tell him that it will be much better if they consult a trusted plantation window shutters service as they can answer all his inquiries and will provide good-quality service.
