Which Window Treatments Help Your Home Look Best From Outdoors?

As a savvy homeowner in Dover, you carefully choose window treatments based on what they can add to your home’s interior. But have you given any attention to which window treatments look best from the other side of your windows, and which ones increase your home’s curb appeal?

Here are our best picks for window treatments that look great both outside and in.

Shutters Give You Curb Appeal

Shutters are fantastic for maximizing curb appeal because they’re so easy to see from outdoors. With their crisp, clean geometry and pronounced louvers, shutters “pop” more than other window treatments, and complement just about any type of house. With the bright whites from Polywood® plantation shutters or muted and natural looks of Ovation® wood shutters, they can be a great counterpoint to any kind of siding, from wood siding to brick to shingle style siding.

Shutters are able to give you a uniform look across each of your windows. If your window treatments don’t match you may end up with a jumbled look, so the ability to use the same window treatments across all those windows is a huge benefit. Our shutters are custom made to fit any type and shape of window, so you can get a clean, even look no matter what.

Finally, shutters are super durable and easy to clean, so there’s no need to worry about them looking dingy, sun-bleached or dirty in the window like you might with a fabric window covering.

 

Shades In Dover Offer Color Versatility

Even though they may not offer the same “pop” as shutters do, the biggest things shades have going for them are their clean, solid look and ability to color match. If you have an incredibly specific color combo in mind that you want to adhere to across your siding, roof, trim, and windows – shades are what you want. With nearly endless options in colors and textures, shades are a do-it-all window treatment.

Don’t forget that shades need a bit more maintenance to maintain their great looks. Over the course of a few months, they can wrinkle, crease, discolor, which can make them lose any appeal they had. Also keep in mind how silhouettes can appear behind them in the evening when your inside lights are on.
