Custom Interior Shutters
Interior shutters are one of the most versatile and timeless window treatments you can add to a home. From classic plantation shutters to waterproof shutters, stained finishes, specialty shapes, and custom door solutions, we help you design shutters that fit the room, the window, and the way you live.
Not every shutter project is the same. Some homeowners want a bright white classic look. Others need moisture-resistant shutters for bathrooms, stained wood for a warmer finish, or special solutions for arches, French doors, and unique windows.
This page gives a quick look at some of the most popular interior shutter options we offer. The goal is simple: help you see what’s possible and start narrowing down what fits your home best.
Louver Sizes
Louver size changes the overall look of the shutter more than most homeowners expect. Smaller louvers feel more traditional, while larger louvers create a cleaner, more open look.
We typically help homeowners compare:
- 1 3/16 inch louvers — smallest option, highly traditional
- 1⅞ inch louvers — small and detailed
- 2½ inch louvers — classic and balanced
- 3½ inch louvers — most common, versatile
- 4½ inch louvers — larger view, modern feel
Specialty Shape Shutters
Arches, angles, eyebrow windows, and other custom shapes need more than a standard solution. Specialty shape shutters are built to follow the lines of the window so the final result feels intentional and custom — not like a compromise.
Cafe Shutters
Cafe shutters cover only the lower portion of the window, giving you privacy where you need it while still letting in plenty of natural light through the top. They’re a great fit for street-facing rooms, kitchens, and spaces where you want a lighter, more open feel.
Double Hung Shutters
Double hung shutters let the top and bottom sections operate independently. That gives you more flexibility with privacy and light control throughout the day, especially in rooms where the sun angle or visibility changes a lot.
Waterproof Shutters
Bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens often call for a different material than a formal living room or study. Waterproof shutters are designed to handle moisture and humidity better, while still giving you the same clean shutter look.
Custom Colors & Finishes
Not every room wants painted white shutters. Stained shutters bring warmth, texture, and a richer wood look that works especially well in studies, dining rooms, historic homes, and spaces where a more natural finish feels right.
Tilt Rod Options
Tilt rod style affects both how the shutter looks and how it operates.
- Hidden tilt creates a cleaner, more modern appearance
- Split tilt lets upper and lower louvers move independently for more control
- Standard tilt rod gives you the traditional front-mounted shutter look
Divider Rails vs. No Divider Rails
Divider rails create a horizontal break in the shutter panel, allowing the upper and lower sections to move separately. Some homeowners like the added flexibility and traditional look. Others prefer the cleaner appearance of a full uninterrupted panel.
Framed Shutters vs. Direct Mount
Some shutters are installed with a frame, while others are mounted more directly depending on the window opening and trim conditions. The right option depends on the window, the depth, and the overall look you want.
Shutters for Doors and French Doors
Interior shutters are not just for standard windows. We also design solutions for doors, sidelights, and French doors — including custom cutouts for handles and hardware clearance. The goal is always the same: make the treatment look like it belongs there and function well day to day.
Interior Panel Shutters
Panel shutters offer a solid, classic look that provides complete privacy while adding street-side curb appeal. From the street, they give your home a timeless, polished appearance.
Bifold Shutters
Bifold shutters fold back on themselves, making them ideal for wider openings where traditional swing panels would intrude too far into the room.
Bypass Track Shutters
Bypass track shutters slide on a track — panels glide past each other to open and close. Perfect for sliding glass doors, wide openings, and spaces where swinging panels aren’t practical.
Motorized Shutters
Smart. Seamless. Effortlessly stylish.
Modern living deserves modern solutions. Our motorized shutters bring ultimate convenience and quiet sophistication to your home. With just a tap—or even a voice command—you can adjust your shutters for the perfect light, privacy, or mood. Ideal for hard-to-reach windows, skylights, or simply a touch of luxury in everyday life.
Shutters for Every Window
From small bathroom windows to large picture windows, from standard rectangles to unique architectural shapes — we design shutters that work with every opening in your home.
Custom Built for Your Windows
The best interior shutter projects come down to the details — proportions, panel layout, louver size, material, mounting style, and the little functional choices that most people don’t know to ask about.
That’s where we help. During a free in-home consultation, we’ll walk through the options, show you what makes sense for each room, and help you make choices that look right and function well long after installation day.
