What Window Treatments Make Your Home Look Great From Outdoors?

As a smart homeowner in Riverside, you carefully choose window treatments based on how they can make your interior look. But have you given much thought as to which window treatments look best from the exterior, and which ones may add to your house’s curb appeal?

These are our best picks for window treatments that look best from outdoors.

Plantation Shutters Give You Curb Appeal

Shutters are great for upping your curb appeal because they’re so easy to see from outdoors. With their bright, clean shape and thick louvers, shutters “pop” more than other window treatments, and can accentuate just about any style of home. With the bright whites from Polywood® plantation shutters or all-natural looks of Ovation® wood shutters, they can complement any type of siding you have, from brick siding to shingle siding and beyond.

Shutters can also help give you a uniform look across each of your windows. Mismatched window treatments on one side of your home can result in48 a messy look, so being able to use the same window treatments across all your windows is a huge boon. Shutters can be custom-built to fit any type and shape of window, so you can get a tight, consistent look no matter what.

Lastly, shutters are super resilient and require very little upkeep, so there’s no need to worry about them looking dingy, wrinkled or dirty in the window like you might with a fabric window treatment.

 

Shades In Riverside Open Up Your Color Palette

Although they may not add the same “pop” as shutters do, the biggest benefits of shades are their clean, solid look and wide variety of colors. If you have an incredibly specific color combo that you want to stick to across your house – shades are the window treatment for you. With nearly endless options in colors and textures, shades might be your most versatile option.

Don’t forget that shades need a bit more upkeep to keep their awesome looks. Over the course of a few months, they can wrinkle, fold, discolor, which can make them lose any appeal they had. Also be mindful of how silhouettes will cast on them at night when you have the lights on indoors.
