Choosing Great Custom Shutters for Your Home

 Walls & Windows  |  September 1, 2021

The right window treatments can make a huge difference in the feel and tone of a room. Shutters (sometimes called plantation shutters) are a classic window treatment traditionally made from 100% authentic hardwood that are best known for their robust quality and elegance. Shutters blend beautifully in your home for an appearance that pairs well with wood fixtures like cabinets and moldings for a custom-built appearance. At Walls & Windows we know amazing quality when we see it, which is why we’re taking the time to unpack a few of our favorite shutters and how they can make a gorgeous difference in your home.

Heritance® Hardwood Shutters

This classic style of custom shutters from Hunter Douglas is our top recommended choice when you want to enjoy the stunning natural finish of handcrafted wood. Heritance® Hardwood Shutters feature a beautiful Integra™ Finish that seals your shutters in a high-luster, multi-coat process for lasting elegance. Choose from an array of colors, from creamy whites to stone grays to rich browns, or customize your own color to perfectly match any existing hardware in your home. Several unique specialty shapes and sizes make Heritance® an easy fit every time, even if you have arches, angles, bay windows, or even patio doors. Interior aluminum bracing and interlocking shutter components ensure your shutters operate smoothly for years to come.

Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters

When you want to enjoy the traditional allure of hardwood shutters, but worry about durability in more extreme environments, then Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are the window treatment investments for you. Palm Beach™ shutters from Hunter Douglas feature a unique combination of man-made and natural materials to produce a product built to withstand prolonged sun and moisture exposure without breaking, chipping, cracking, warping, or yellowing. Palm Beach™ is perfect for bathrooms and kitchens. You don’t have to sacrifice beauty for functional window treatments. And, with shades of white that complement the Heritance® collection, it’s easy to mix and match your favorite shutter styles for a whole-home system.


Palm Beach™ shutters are one of the only motorized shutter solutions on the market, featuring revolutionary motorization technology from Hunter Douglas. PowerView® Automation transforms your custom shutters into smart technology. Control your shutters from the comfort of your couch with the PowerView® smartphone app. Or, tell your Amazon Alexa to open your shutters as you shuffle into the kitchen with your arms full of groceries. PowerView® works to make your life easier with seamlessly integrated and beautiful window treatment systems. With no visible batteries, wires, or cords, PowerView® is totally safe for homes with pets and children.
