The Difference Between Interior Shutters and Shutters for Outside

Shutters are a classic window treatment with a rich history in design. They can enhance your home's interior and exterior with style and function and are well worth the investment.

Today, our team at Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center is delighted to discuss the benefits of interior window shutters and we can help you find the perfect style of shutters to spruce up your home.

Benefits of Window Shutters

  • They Elevate Your Home’s Aesthetics: Interior shutters instantly pull a room together, and exterior shutters add a pop of curb appeal.
  • They Add Value to Your Home: For home value, shutters are considered as permenant fixtures, which makes their rate of return is unmatchable. If you plan to put your house on the market, having shutters will increase the value and buyers’ interest in your property.
  • They Offer Privacy: Both interior and exterior shutters offer unlimited privacy.
  • Maneuverability: You can maneuver the slats of interior shutters in various directions so they allow you to maintain your view without compromising your privacy.
  • Protection from the Elements: Exterior shutters protect your windows from storm damage, while interior shutters protect your home from UV damage.

Differences Between Interior & Exterior Shutters

Interior shutters are mainly for light control, privacy, and décor inside your home. Exterior shutters, on the other hand, are built to withstand weather (like storms or UV rays) and are often decorative but can also be functional (like hurricane shutters and mount on the outside of the house. While interior shutters are more customizable, exterior shutters focus on security and curb appeal.
