Plantation Shutters: 4 Easy Ways To Brighten Your Home This Winter

Winter is often synonymous with cold weather and cooler, darker days and nights. In your home, you need not settle for cold or dark spaces. Here we share four simple ways you can brighten your home and create a cosy living space, even through the winter months.

1. Let the Light In

Maximize daylight and the natural flow of light through your home in winter. In the living room, you may want to redress your windows and keep things lighter and brighter. Welcome winter sunlight into your space with sheer window dressings and contemporary shutters that can be adjusted to control light and air flow into your home.

We love the layered look with sheer floor length curtains over modern shutters. Even in the cooler months, your home will benefit from the added heat and light. Plantation Shutters are perfect in all areas of your home – from the living room, to kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms – they provide the ultimate in light, ventilation and privacy control. Ideal throughout the seasons, and especially on those chillier days!

2. Celebrate the Outdoors

Nature is a wonderful mood booster. You may want to rearrange your furniture closer to your living room windows so you can make the most of the outdoor views and embrace the warmth and beauty of nature.

You can also bring natural textures inside to enhance your winter ambience. Elements like wood, greenery and natural fibres will add an aesthetic quality to help brighten your home.

Beautiful timber shutters are a must to complement this natural look. We love the classic white look, but modern Plantation Shutters are available in a spectrum of colours.

3. Illuminate your Home

In winter, we often use more lighting to banish the dark from our homes. As interior spaces may be darker during the colder months, you may need added lighting to brighten each room. Invest in quality illumination that will give you options in each space. Some good options include table and floor lamps, beautiful pendents and even candles for an added aesthetic glow. Added lighting will instantly create warmth and cosiness indoors.

4. Create A Bright Colour Palette

Choose lighter tones to decorate your winter interior. This way your home will feel brighter and more light-filled. A simple palette of whites and muted tones will achieve this effortlessly.

Choose finishes in light colours with sheer fabrics to create the illusion of a brighter space. Plantation Shutters has a broad range of colour options to choose from – a sure way to create a brighter, happier home.

At Plantation Shutters, it’s all about attention to detail. Everything they do, ensures that you get the very best quality and ultimately, the most beautiful shutters. Whether you are looking for internal shutters to control light or provide privacy, or security shutters – their fully customised design and manufacturing process will ensure that understated style and value are added to your property.
