Plantation Shutters continue to be one of the most popular choices of window coverings for the Portsmouth, New Castle and Rye areas, because of their beauty and versatility. Finely crafted shutters are like furniture for the windows. They are an architectural addition to the home as crown moldings or hardwood floors are.

If you are considering such a project, be sure to examine the materials closely before making a decision. Is the quality of the shutter in keeping with the quality and value of your home? Will the shutters be installed by experienced professionals? Will the design of the shutters be pleasing from both the interior and the exterior of the home?

These are very important questions to answer before making the investment in plantation shutters. Take a look at this article to learn more.

Window Décor Tip of the Month:

Blue is for boys… but it may not be for young men! Pink is wonderful, but at some point, girls grow out of that, too. When you make a décor change with window fashions, you aren’t limited by any one color, style or texture, and you don’t even have to change anything else in the room to make a major style shift. If Junior’s room is still blue, and his window treatments have seen better days, why not look to what’s happening in bold geometric prints? How about crisp cellular or louvered shades or blinds in a contrasting color or texture to bring “POP” to his environment? Thinking pink, there are loads of hot, contemporary styles and colors (like bright yellow, orange and even aqua or brown) that can update a girl’s pink room, and bring her private hangout into today by making it “her own” current style, where she’ll feel great and can “be herself”!

Rooms They’ll Love Living In!

Creating a place where your kids really want to study may seem an improbable task, but if they aren’t comfortable where they do their schoolwork, it will show. At the very least, it should be a place where they feel at ease, one that has their own tastes and interests incorporated. It’s important they get enough light, both natural from the windows and from other light sources. As they grow and mature, their personal space becomes a much more important part of the place they call home and can be a spot where they feel the safety and comfort you always try to create for your whole family. Let’s freshen your home with the kids’ rooms in mind. I have a terrific array of ideas and products in every price range to make this happen and will be happy to work within your budget to help you make your family’s rooms new again with window fashions. Call me today and we’ll get started!
