Personally I think a theatre should be dark but again - thats just my warped sense of taste. Even if you do go for a light theatre you are going to need some sort of contrast between the white. Maybe if you darkened the walls in that room slightly the white shutters would look good. PS. I am biased - my last house had a mix of white roman blinds and dark wooden venetians.

Im constantly doing it but always go back to my original idea once I have had time to think it through ... god this building stuff is hard. PS. Of your windows are like the pic you send im very jealous - loving sets of threes. Maybe its my inner OCD self trying to get out.
