Shutters are an excellent window covering choice for your large windows – and doors, too! While exterior shutters look great on the outside of your home, we will focus on interior shutters.
Here is the scoop on Shutters:
- They look beautiful
- They are energy efficient
- They help reduce noise from outdoors
- They provide light control
- They look great from the inside and outside of your home
- They can even add value to your home
The best choice in interior shutters for large windows are Plantation Shutters, since their louver size is larger at 3.5 inches wide compared to California Shutters which have louvers that are 2.5 inches wide. The louvers are the slats which can be slanted to control light and air. Basically, the larger the window, the larger the louver.

Shutters are installed directly on your window or door and can be left shut as an entire panel or opened if you want your window completely opened. When the panel of louvers is shut, you can slant the louvers to open or shut them, too.
Shutters are available in wood, composite materials, and vinyl. The most affordable shutters are generally vinyl shutters. Learn more about vinyl shutters here in our other blog post, Vinyl Plantation Shutters: Everything You Need To Know.
