As you can see, there are pros and cons to both wooden and vinyl shutters and really it comes down to the individual need. If the setting will be wet or humid then vinyl shutters are a more practical option, whereas a living room won’t require the same level of durability, and stained or painted hardwood shutters will be ideal. although, of course, there’s absolutely nothing to stop you choosing vinyl shutters for a living room, as this shown here. If you want to make colour a feature then opt for wood, and a preference for cream or white means you can choose either option.
Installing shutters is undeniably a more expensive option than having blinds installed, but new shutters are incredibly durable, lasting decades with the right care, and with the addition of colours and environmentally friendly options to the wealth of styles, shutters are becoming a popular choice for a modern window dressing.
