How to Combine Interior Shutters and Drapery

Blind & Shutter Gallery • July 1, 2024

Your windows are your home's best friend, offering glorious views and cascading light. While windows are an architectural gift, you can enhance them even further with high-quality coverings. Plantation Shutters are a traditional and classic way to enhance your windows, and when combined with drapery, they will make a stunning statement that you can enjoy for years. Our team at Blind & Shutters Gallery is delighted to discuss the benefits of plantation shutters and how to stylize your windows with curtains and interior shutters.

The Benefits of Hunter Douglas Plantation Shutters

  • Increased Home Value: Installing plantation shutters will instantly add value to your home. Potential buyers will see them as an added benefit if you plan to sell in the future.
  • Low Maintenance: Plantation shutters are easy to clean with a soft, damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner attachment.
  • Made to Last: Our plantation shutters are made from durable materials such as natural wood, vinyl, and composite, so they will endure everyday wear and tear.
  • Convenient Light and Privacy Management: You can easily control your light and privacy by simply tilting the slats. Their snug fit also minimizes light gaps.
  • Insulating Properties: Because plantation shutters fit tightly within the window's frame, they prevent air from hot or cold air from entering.

Stylize Your Windows with Curtains and Interior Shutters

Now that you know more about the benefits of plantation shutters, let's explore some options for combining them with curtains and drapery. If you want to hang plantation shutters in your kitchen, consider creating a breakfast nook with our Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters. These shutters are perfect for rooms with high heat and humidity, and when paired with a casual curtain, you will have an instant cozy bistro-like setting. Consider hanging the shutter on the bottom half of the window and curtains on the top. You can draw back the curtains to let light in and keep the shutters closed for private dining.


For a stately and elegant living room, our Heritance® Wood Shutters are an excellent choice. With their rich wood grains, these shutters will add sophistication to any room, and we offer them in various stain and color choices. To soften their hefty stance, consider layering them with our Luminette® Sheer Panels. You will enjoy all the more privacy and sound control, and when you want just a flowing look, you can raise the shutters to expose the graceful appeal of the sheers.
