Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Mar 03, 2010 7:12 am I have Hog Bristle walls and some Russian Toffee walls and all trim and doors are Hog Bristle. Windows are White Birch. Carpet is a mid taupe while all the furniture is traditional and / or antique. What colour should I use for the shutters? An off white to match the Hog B? What size blade is the best? Home is large with some biggish rooms - 60 squares. I have been looking at web sites and there are different ways of fitting the shutters. Which way looks the best on windows?

I know you are very busy. The shutter guy can attach totally inside the window frame or attach a plantation shutter frame which covers part of the window frame. He preferred the latter because it allows for windows which are out of square but I preferred the former because it looked less fussy and showed my nice window frames. What is your opinion on this? He recommended the 89mm blade as he said that the smaller blades can look like you have venetians. Do you agree? He had a pale cream which wasnt yellow which looked nice with the window frames.

BUT, if, unfortunately, your windows are not square, they will look like a bad fit. Not going right to the reveals in some places, that could look shotty! It’s a tough one!!!!! I agree with the larger blades. Shutters are not cheap, and they look fantastic, so why not get them in a pure white to show them off?

I understand what you mean. I will go and measure the windows in 3 places - top middle and bottom and the length on both sides. I hadnt thought about white. Building in Bella Vista Waters Sydney.
