Create Your Oasis with Patio Door Shutters
How much time do you spend in your enclosed patio? If you find it lacking, strategic changes could make it your favorite part of your house. One of the easiest ways to achieve this transformation is by incorporating patio door shutters into its layout. The Visual Creations design team loves helping clients do this, and we also have other patio décor ideas that are perfect for late-summer get-togethers.
What’s Special About Patio Door Shutters?
Shutters are window coverings with horizontal panels or louvers mounted within a frame. You adjust the panels or louvers to control light and privacy. They can be made of wood, vinyl, or composite materials many people refer to them as plantation shutters.
In contrast, blinds aren’t connected to frames and have vertical or horizontal slats. Shutters can offer more durability, better insulation, and a more polished appearance, making them a fantastic window treatment for glass patio doors.
Homeowners Love Plantation Shutters for Patio Doors
Homeowners choose plantation shutters for glass patio doors for these reasons:
- One of the main advantages of patio door shutters is their ability to protect privacy. That’s important if your patio is visible from the street or neighboring properties.
- Whether you prefer direct sunlight or a shaded space, you can adjust shutters to suit different times of day or weather conditions, keeping the space comfortable year-round.
- Patio door shutters feature robust materials that withstand various weather conditions. They’ll look great and function well long-term, making them a wise investment.
- Shutters are easy to maintain. Quick dustings and wipe-downs keep them looking great.
Designing With Patio Door Shutters
Think about how your patio door shutters will complement your patio’s décor. Lighter colors reflect heat and light, making your patio feel more open and airy; darker colors add drama and sophistication.
Genuine wood shutters are always in style. Consider a light finish that contrasts with your furniture and accessories for an exciting new look. You can coordinate with that color in accessories like rugs and cushions to pull the space together. However, natural wood is sensitive to environmental changes like heat and moisture. Composite shutters are a suitable alternative with stunning finishes that resemble finely painted wood.
Florida homeowners also choose high-quality vinyl plantation shutters for patio doors. These window treatments withstand high temperatures and humidity and won’t warp, fade, chip, or crack.
Creating a True Outdoor Oasis
Once you order your custom patio door shutters, consider other ways to enhance this indoor/outdoor space. Add potted plants for color and freshness, remembering to bring them inside if it gets too cold. Now is also a good time to update your cushions, rugs, and accessories. Final touches like lighting and speakers will turn your enclosed patio into the oasis you deserve.
