Are Shutters Good for Sidelights?
Vertical glass panels alongside your front door are eye-catching architectural accents. But how to decorate them? Leaving sidelights completely exposed feels incomplete, yet fully covering them blocks out their bright, airy ambiance. It's a decorative riddle, for sure! Fear not - shutters offer a supremely stylish answer that marries fashion and practicality, and at Designer Furniture Gallery, we’re going to show you how.
What are Sidelights?
Sidelights are the vertical glass panels that border many front entry doors. They welcome natural light into foyers and entryways. Modern sidelights are attractive architectural elements that boost curb appeal. They grace traditional and contemporary home exteriors, imparting an upscale, elegant ambiance. Sidelights are integral to many entry door designs, though their size and styling can vary.
The Sidelight Shutter Solution
Decorating sidelights can prove tricky. Leaving them wholly exposed feels unfinished and sparse. Covering them entirely blocks out that bonus brightness and eliminates their architectural interest. Shutters offer a happy medium. With louvers to adjust, shutters let you decide precisely how much light to invite inside. You can angle them open for a sun-soaked glow or close them for complete privacy and insulation. It's the ideal versatile solution for those decorative yet functional sidelight windows.
Shutter Advantages for Sidelights
Plantation shutters provide an excellent way to manage light and privacy on sidelight windows. Their thick, durable louvers can angle open to bask in the sunshine or shut completely for seclusion and insulation. Shutters form a snug barrier against drafts and temperature transfers, improving energy efficiency. This insulation benefit helps reduce energy costs over the long run.
Additionally, shutters are low-maintenance compared to other window coverings like curtains or blinds. An occasional dusting is all they require to retain their timeless elegance. Unless you prefer putting on a show for passersby, sidelights require a window covering that enables visibility adjustment. Shutters allow you to subtly tilt louvers from wide open to completely closed for full privacy.
Sidelight Shutters Offer Lots of Style
More than practical, shutters are architectural showstoppers. Wood shutters transform plain glass into stunning focal points that elevate your home's exterior. Choose classic or contemporary designs and stained or painted finishes to suit your taste. We suggest coordinating with surrounding windows for a cohesive look that carries through your facade.
Shutters for Fresh Curb Appeal
Richly stained wood shutters on sidelights create a desirable first impression before guests even step inside. The custom look adds immense curb appeal and an undeniably welcoming ambiance to your entry. Prepare for your newly adorned entrance to turn heads in the neighborhood.
