No, do you get direct sunlight in those windows?

plantation shutters require a couple inches of depth... do you have that?

I'd go with a top down/bottom up blind instead... light AND privacy.

no to the shutters, no to the crown molding.

aim for a bit of color, or warmth or texture. or all 3.

that's a lot of white in that room

Hey ya'll, don't know where you are located but here in the South, plantation shutters are ubiquitous. Here's an nice Houzz article on them. Plantation shutters can be outside mount of the window frame so you don't need depth. Get some recommendations on who does them in your area and get some quotes for what you want. The Houzz article several photos of plantation shutters on wide windows. It all depends on the style you want to encourage.

They're too much dusting for me but I have friends who wouldn't have anything else. Good quality plantation shutters offer a lot of options for light control.

Getting close to a quote would be approx $26-$30 per sq foot, faux wood. That should include taxes and installation. They are also an energy saving tax deduction if you happen to go long form. A lot of dusting but they do have their advantages as well.

IMO nice solar shades for hest and UV control allow you to keep the view . where i live we also get a great view of city lights so I never close my drapes but if nightime privacy is a big deal then just use the solar shades all day and close the drapes at night . I have never liked plantation shutters and was removing them a lot in Calgary 20 yrs ago so I am always surprised how many US posters are still using them. They block view are a PITA to keep dusted and so heavy looking too. BTW yes in the South where there were actual plantations and aslo a long time ago there are so many great ways to get window coverings now
