Custom Plantation Shutters

Custom plantation shutters are what ooh's and ahh's are made of. Walk into a room with plantation shutters that were custom made and immediately you are taken by the beauty and the authority of the room. Custom plantation shutters have long been the symbol of social prominence and acceptance.

Interior decorators use plantation shutters to infuse authority and stability into a room. I'm not saying that you can't decorate a home without using shutters but I am saying that if you want to showcase a sense of authority and social prominence then shutters are a must.

Custom plantation shutters are available in just about any wood tone or color you can imagine. The wood tone shutters carry more of a sense of authority than the painted shutters do. That's why you'll find custom wood shutters in most highly successful law firm offices and of course corporate offices of the Fortune 500 companies.
                                                                                                             

I know it seems like I'm stressing the authority of custom plantation shutters, and I am. The big difference between custom shutters and custom draperies and valances is this, drapes and valances, such as swags and jabots, or a custom cornice allude to beauty, softness and freedom while a room full of shutters that are custom made shouts authority and stability.

There are rooms for both of those purposes in almost every home and a good interior designer will incorporate both of those feelings into a well decorated home. Thirty years ago decorators almost exclusively used custom shutters in the very rich to promote "snob" appeal and authority but today they are also using drapes and valances to put a little life into those same homes.

Custom plantation shutters are not cheap, they are expensive, but well worth the investment if you can afford them. They will cost you upwards of thirty dollars a square foot installed for basic shutters. Add a few extras, which you almost always do, and you'll be a lot higher.
