My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Plantation Shutter Dilemma

12 years ago
We recently moved to a new row home and can't decide on a plantation shutter style. We like the left/right shutter concept, but we feel our windows are too narrow. The other option is leveraging the shutter style that goes all the way across horizontally.

Window dimensions are 27 3/4 inch wide & 63 inches high.

Any suggestions/input is greatly appreciated!!

    shutters would be a nice addition indeed.. use the available with the widest trim. I had the same problem with my condo and going that route made the rooms appear larger.
