Shutters are typically something that we think about OUTSIDE of the home. Usually shutters are positioned next to windows or doors of a home and originally, shutters purpose was to block out both light and wind. Over time, shutters have become more decorative but remained on the outside of the home.
Recently, I have seen a lot of homes that actually bring shutters INSIDE the home and decorate with them. Shutters can bring a rustic or shabby chic feel to the home.
They can be hung on the wall to create texture or be used to display mementos, such as pictures.
Shutters can also have function through the home. Adding hooks creates a great key and coat hanger.
A unique take on the ever popular barn doors is using shutters around the doorway.
Would you decorate with shutters? How else would you use them?
