Modernize by Removing Shutters?

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

I’m considering removing the shutters from home to modernize the exterior. My style leans more transitional (interior pic with puppy) and I want the exterior of my home to match. Any opinions?

Note: Pics in poll include my home with shutters and without (while under construction). Additionally, I’ve included a pic of another house with my same floor plan without shutters.

Shutters?

No Shutters?

Yes, the shutters are too small to close over those windows, and thus look out of place. You'll be glad you took them off.

I voted no shutters, but really I’d vote for 2 windows with shutters. I’d lighten the paint (or stain) on your shutters too. I’ll try to post a pic I saw that I liked.

I vote for the puppy (and different colored real working shutters on the single windows, with none on the double).

Get rid of the shutters. Also, get rid of some of the cement in front of the house. It looks so stark. I'd have foundation planting beds at least twice the depth you have now.

Why on earth would anyone ever do that to a dog?
