Shutter Project: Minimal Family Home
This project guide illustrates how to think through a workable family interior using clear panel proportions and a restrained colour palette. Use it as inspiration instead of a fixed specification for your own windows.

The design approach
Begin with the room instead of the shutter. Consider wall colour, trim, flooring, furniture and the amount of natural light before selecting the shutter colour and panel layout.
Keep panel lines deliberate
Where possible, align shutter panel joins with obvious vertical lines in the window. Balanced panel proportions typically look calmer than adding unnecessary divisions.
Carry the look through the home
For multiple rooms, repeating the same colour and a consistent frame family can create continuity while still allowing panel configurations to change for different window widths.
