We know that when it comes to window treatments, it’s not just the view from inside your home that matters. 

As a homeowner, you spend most of your time inside your home, so creating a well-curated look inside is important. 

But it’s also about creating an exterior you love coming home to. The look and feel of the outside of your house plays an important role in how you feel when you walk in and out of the door each day.

The Value

While how you feel about your home’s exterior is very valuable, how others feel about your home when they approach it is also of value. It’s the first impression of your home that visitors get and it’s important to make it welcoming. 

Curating a beautiful exterior also increases the value of your home from a resale standpoint. Curb appeal is a big consideration for realtors and home buyers and how your window treatments look from the outside can affect your home’s curb appeal. 

Creating Curb Appeal

Have you ever walked up to a home where the window treatment is different in each window? You can tell which room is a child’s room and which is the formal living room. It feels a bit chaotic, doesn’t it? 

Chaos is not what you want when it comes to curb appeal. So how do you create good curb appeal? It’s by creating a consistent, fluid look from any angle outside your home. This doesn’t mean you need to have the same window treatment in every room, but you want it to be uniform. 

For example, if you install white interior shutters in your main living areas, but want roman shades in the bedrooms, opt for a white lining on the backs of your shades. Now, no matter the color of your roman shades on the inside, all your visitors will see from the outside is a uniform white color for window coverings! 

Interior Shutters for the Win

While the look and feel of your home from the outside is a consideration for realtors, it doesn’t have a huge impact on the actual value of your home. There is one window treatment, however, that does add value to your home, and that is interior shutters.

They are the most desirable window treatment of home buyers and they are willing to shell out more money to have them. Not only are they beautiful and functional from the inside but they are gorgeous from the outside too. They really amp up the curb appeal and help create a continuous, fluid look. 

Interior shutters come in a variety of options to select from, including hidden tilts, faux and real wood, colors, and much more. Plus, you can layer them with custom drapes to create a unique and luxurious look in each room of your home.
