Decorate With Vintage Wooden Shutters

Vintage wooden shutters gives you an insight into the nature that surrounds your home and its position on the wall often create a visual focal point. You can decorate the window and the area around it so that this focal point becomes more pronounced. Ornaments, allow layers for layers, work in harmony to create a total look for your picture window. After your decorating efforts are complete, the window area can be a place around which you gather, relax and enjoy family and friends.

Integrate architectural elements that maximize the look of your vintage wooden shutters. Add a window board or expand an existing by placing floating shelves on either side of the base of the threshold. Create the look of built-in shelves by flanking an old window with wooden shelves the same height as the base of the window. Follow a light plaster arc on the wall above the window for a classic look. A flower box outside the window gives you a picture of seasonal plantations.

Select a window processing and associated hardware. To maximize natural light, old windows are detected, or hang minimal treatments such as cafe curtains, clean panels or window scarves. Adjustable treatments such as shutters, blinds or shades allow you to vintage wooden shutters when looking for privacy. Keep fabrics in cool, pale tones and prints for a neutral background, or make windows treatments pop with bold patterns or contrasting colors. Blur the boundaries between inside and out with natural accessories in and around old windows. Line the windowsill with vintage cans and bottles that hold flowers or twigs of herbs. Hang vines and lush green plants around the edges of windows.
