What is the difference between Roman shades and plantation shutters? They are the most historic and classic of the window treatments, but they are very different. They can make a room look elegant, but they each have their own advantages.
What is the difference between Roman shades and plantation shutters?
The biggest difference between Roman shades and plantation shutters is the material. Plantation shutters are made with wood and Roman shades are made with fabric. But both can have different designs and can be customized for your home.
Roman shades
Roman shades are an elegant, classic window treatment. They are a great window treatment for adding depth and texture to any room. If you prefer the classic style, Blinds Bros. has looped Roman shades, or hobbled shades, with elegant folds that cascade down your window. They are perfect for adding depth and movement to a room. We also have classic Roman shades with a pleated design, and you can choose from batten front or batten back options. If you want a smoother shade, we have a seamless style that’s flatter than the others.
At Blinds Bros., our Roman shades come in a variety of colors and patterns, from classic white to bright red. So no matter what design scheme you’re going for, we can help you find the perfect Roman window blinds for your home.
Plantation shutters
Plantation shutters are high quality window treatments that are customized to fit any window or door. Unlike shutters that you typically think of on the outside of a home, plantation shutters are inside. Instead of cords, they usually have rods down the middle to tilt the slats.
One of the most unique advantages of plantation shutters is they can actually increase the value of your home because they’re built to last for years to come. They are custom made, so they can be made to fit any type of window, no matter the size or shape. They can even be installed in French or sliding glass doors or in curved windows.
White is the classic color for plantation shutters, but we have other colors to choose from. You can get them in a rich brown to fit in seamlessly with any brown wooden accents in a room, or they can be painted any color you want.
If you are interested in either of these classic window treatments, contact Blinds Bros. today to learn about the different design options we offer.
