Join our team as we look at five of the most popular interior design styles for South Carolina homes that can use hardwood shutters as part of their design plan. While some interior aesthetics use more classic shutter styles and others lean more towards modern stylings, all can be elevated with a set of individually styled, professionally installed Hunter Douglas plantation shutters.

  • Coastal Chic: When considering shutters for coastal design, choose white shutters for this easy-going and elegant beach-inspired style. Combine white shutters with beige and light wood furniture to create a look that’s easy, breezy, and beautiful.
  • Southern Traditional: There’s a reason interior shutters are often referred to as plantation shutters; they have long been a staple in classic Southern design. Opt for classic wood tones that complement the existing dark or light wood furniture, décor, and accents found in this design.
  • Bohemian: Hardwood shutters can also work wonders in a bohemian-style interior. These Hunter Douglas shutters include a variety of dark wood stains and white finishes that work well with your existing Bohemian design, such as chic organic elements, vintage furniture, and wood décor.
  • Modern Farmhouse: Depending on existing elements, farmhouse decor can work with white shutters or classic hardwood shutters in natural tones. The aesthetic melds traditional elements like wood furniture with contemporary colors such as greens, pinks, and blues.
  • Rustic Cottage: Consider neutral shutters to bring out the rustic cottage charm's airy feel. Wood shutters' ability to let in natural sunlight elevates this opening effect for shades and helps homeowners control both the light and atmosphere of their homes. 

Hunter Douglas Interior Shutters

Hunter Douglas boasts a beautiful array of three styles of interior shutters, including wood, vinyl, and composite faux wood, to complement your interior design style. All three types adhere to the classic design of plantation shutters with horizontal louvers that tilt in unison for light control and privacy.

Heritance® Wood Shutters

The pinnacle of classic style, the beauty of these 100% natural hardwood shutters endures thanks to the Hunter Douglas Integra™ finish available in 20 unique shades, including modern natural hues and natural wood stains plus custom color options for individual styling perfectly matched to your home’s existing decor style. One-touch closure with the SoftClose™ Louvers with Quick Align™ makes these hardwood shutters as easy to use as they are beautiful.

Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters

Hunter Douglas’s vinyl shutters are both UV and moisture-resistant for lasting strength in the heat and humidity of South Carolina. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are also the only style of interior shutter from Hunter Douglas compatible with their PowerView® system for motorized shutters. While they were engineered to be ultra-durable for a southern climate, the shutters still embody the classic look of hardwood interior shutters with the option of a decorative sill cover to cover your windowsills.

NewStyle® Composite Shutters

Designed for durability, these composite faux wood shutters are ideal for high-traffic or heavy-use areas of the home. Because they’re resistant to moisture, composite shutters are ideal for rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms. Their chic, modern design with a low-luster Finetech® finish is available in five modern neutral hues.
