This breakfast area had a tremendous amount of sunlight coming into this part of the home, where the space wasn't a very enjoyable place to get the day started. Now, with the addition of plantation shutters, the light control has dramatically enhanced the area and has cut down the amount of heat in this space. These shutters were an outside mount on a one inch frame due to the windows being out of square; even some of the most out of square windows have hope! The specialty arch in a sunburst louvre pattern features independently operated louvres and are fully functional.

With so much surface area of modern houses dedicated to windows, having control over energy efficiency and privacy is an absolute must. Plantation shutters are the most energy-efficient window treatments available, and can even be installed on those aforementioned sliding glass doors and transom windows. For full-wall windows, shutters offer even more freedom in window coverage since you can open and shut individual sets of louvers, rather than having to pull a whole drapery over your window.

This Transitional Whole Home Remodel required that the interior of the home be gutted in order to create the open concept kitchen / great room. The floors, walls and roofs were all reinsulated. The exterior was also updated with new stucco, paint and roof. Note the craftsman style front door in black! We also updated the plumbing, electrical and mechanical. The location and size of the new windows were all optimized for lighting. Adding to the homes new look are Louvered Shutters on all of the windows. The homeowners couldn’t be happier with their NEW home! The kitchen features white shaker cabinet doors and Torquay Cambria countertops. White subway tile is warmed by the Dark Oak Wood floor. The home office space was customized for the homeowners. It features white shaker style cabinets and a custom built-in desk to optimize space and functionality. The master bathroom features DeWils cabinetry in walnut with a shadow gray stain. The new vanity cabinet was specially designed to offer more storage. The stylistic niche design in the shower runs the entire width of the shower for a modernized and clean look. The same Cambria countertop is used in the bathrooms as was used in the kitchen. "Natural looking" materials, subtle with various surface textures in shades of white and gray, contrast the vanity color. The shower floor is Stone Cobbles while the bathroom flooring is a white concrete looking tile, both from DalTile. The Wood Looking Shower Tiles are from Arizona Tile. The hall or guest bathroom features the same materials as the master bath but also offers the homeowners a bathtub. The laundry room has white shaker style custom built in tall and upper cabinets. The flooring in the laundry room matches the bathroom flooring.

The master bedroom sports a “spa-style teak bed, a study table from Jaipur and a cosy window seat that overlooks swathes of greenery, giving the space an earthy, ethnic look.” Wood cladding on the beam and a sliver of brick wall add warmth and texture to the space. Stucco walls behind the bed and sea-foam-green ceiling-height wardrobes with louvred panels on some of the doors gives the room a dash of colour and loads of personality.

Diffusers can be as a shape of round, rectangular, or can be as linear slot diffusers. Linear slot diffusers take the form of one or several long, narrow slots, mostly semi-concealed in a fixed or suspended ceiling. The average linear diffuser consists of a long, narrow metal casing with a series of louvers or grills along once face. Installers fasten the linear diffuser into a ceiling, wall, or window sill area so that the louvered face sits flush with the surrounding surface. Linear diffusers work with both drywall structures and drop ceilings, but different types of models may be required to fit different applications. The most common linear diffuser designs include rows of diffusers along an entire wall, with vents placed either in the ceiling or window sills.

This inviting sitting area needed privacy. The corner windows were treated with cafe height Plantation shutters with 3.5" louvers in a white painted finish.

We furnished the entire downstairs of our Anne Arundel client's waterfront home with white plantation shutters - including the sliding patio doors. Shutters are available in different louver sizes. The size of the louver will determine the amount of light, ventilation, and privacy that a room receives; as well as how much of a view you have when your louvers are open at 90 degrees.
