Here in New England, we do not consider shutters dated. We consider them timeless. 😊

[pinkypromise]

I don’t care if something is dated, if I like them I’m getting them. My house, my enjoyment!🤗🤗🤗

[Silkelovesit]

Hi Lisa, I can agree with almost everything 😙 However I cannot agree with you when it comes to shutters and beach houses. I think they fit perfectly together.

[mandihebert]

All the Southern ladies gasped 😲 at the no shutters part. 🤣 We love our shutters down South.

[clairevinet]

Love the Plantation shutters, they works so well in

[karenplayford]

I love my shutters ! We changed from faux wood 2" blinds to shutters for the simple reason that our two large bedroom windows face the street. I had the shutters made with a horizontal divider bar where the divider in our double-hung windows were. Now we can have the top part of the shutter open for natural light and no one can see in. With the 2" faux woods we had to have them closed most of the time for privacy.

Just broke the bank on my new shutters! Love them. Southern CA house . Easy to clean and adds a cool look from outside and inside. I replaced the wood 11/2 wood blinds . Best thing I have done window wise.
Totally agree on mini blinds and the awful verticals! To me, vertical blinds can bring down any room!

Sorry Lisa, I’m on team “ plantation shutters” .. just bought them and I love them😍 .. easy to clean, helps decrease the heat that comes in through the windows and I can easily control the light I want in my house ( which is extremely bright) plus, I can still have a lovely view outside 😎..Lastly, curtains can be beautiful, but they are expensive and need to be cleaned (also costly) often, because they are dust catchers and “Dust” is my enemy😏..

[gentlebreeze]

Just ordered shutters for my whole house.

[konniethrash]

I love love love my shutters! It does not block out the light! They are white and so beautiful.

[LiJuun]

I've never seen macrame window coverings before but THOSE ARE SO CUTE! I love them. I'm totally ok being wrong.

[dons]

Have to disagree about shutters, they will always be a classic in the south, where light control is crucial in the summer

[constance]

Love shutters! So many stunning romantic window looks were shutters: Edwardian, Plantation, Out of Africa, Indian Palaces, Australian Ranch houses, Silke's beach house, on and have always wanted traditional shutters and finally, in this house, I have appropriate size windows. They cut ou light, you say?? Just open them up!

[TheFvtampa]

What I like about vertical blinds is privacy with light. You can direct the view and the light the whole length of the window.

In so many of the beautiful old Nantucket houses downtown, they have the classic shutters (much smaller than the plantation shutters) as window treatments. They look stunning, almost a part of the architecture. I've also seen them work perfectly on San Francisco victorians.

[lidarandolph]

Shutters? Really? They don’t seem dated at all, especially in AZ, FL and TX.

[rachelhodges]

I’ll have to disagree about the shutters; They look elegant & timeless to me, not dated at all.

I have been selling custom window treatments for the last 9 years and I love watching this videos because she is so right! Only thing I would say is about the shutters. You are correct about them not being a perfect solution for everyone. But there are so many ways to make them more modern and transitional! You can actually get panels up to 48" wide and slats up to 4.5". That way you dont cut out any more light than a faux wood blind. Plus, you can get so many fun design inspired colors! In my opinion, don't knock shutters until you see them! Love watching these videos as so many don't think about how window treatments really effect how a whole room comes together!

Plantation shutters never go out of style! Have them in my entire house and love them still after 20 years!
