Modern Styles for Modern Shutters near San Diego, CA
- Larger Louver Sizes: Modern shutters crafted with larger louver sizes not only read more contemporary in aesthetic style, but they also afford homeowners a better view when open because of the larger spaces between the more sizable louvers. So, whether open or closed, they create a striking visual element without feeling overwhelming or domineering in the space.
- Bold Neutral Colors: Traditional plantation shutters most commonly come in neutral wood tones with a rich tapestry of tans and browns to choose from. For modern styles, bolder neutrals from the ends of the spectrum, namely whites and blacks, are more popular for their eye-catching hues that can still be used as a neutral backdrop.
