I really dislke plantation shutters , the block light and views look heavy in most cases and IMO a PITA to keep clean if daytime privacy, UV control and heat control are issues get some solar shades then add drapes for night time privacy and just run the drapes all across that wall.

I agree with Patricia. Plantation shutters are a nightmare to keep clean. I have a houseful of them.

I'm a huge fan of plantation shutters, but I like PC's suggestion of shades and drapes in your particular case.

BTW, we have plantation shutters throughout our entire house, including the garage. I have to disagree with the above comments regarding cleaning. Ease of cleaning is one of their many advantages.

I will suggest roller shades, they look modern, elegant and there's a variety of styles. We supply roller shades of different types such as solar screen shades (for solar protection), sunlight filtering, and blackout shades. The example below look like the plantation shutters, but these are motorized and with different styles and colors.

What is it you "need?" Privacy? Glare protection? Or do you just want some oomph? Plantation shutters are very pricey and leave you with nothing for your glass door. I think they are not very functional. I suspect, by your "name" that you are looking for some "oomph." I'd look for a new rug and change out throw pillows to something white and maybe fuzzy, like chenille. As to rug choices, there are a zillion of them on Wayfair.com and they have professional decorators who can help you. No I don't work for them. I also like blinds.com.
