At the end of the day, combining shutters and curtains versus using shutters solo comes down to personal preference and window purpose.
Some final factors to help decide:
- Privacy needs – If full privacy is a must, layers are ideal. If modest privacy suffices, shutters alone can work.
- Room aesthetics – Formal living rooms often suit shutter-curtain combos while sleek, modern kitchens shine with shutters alone. Match the intended vibe.
- Effort tolerance – Eliminating curtains cuts laundering and seasonally switching work for those who want simplicity.
- Budget – Skipping curtains saves significant money over buying two treatments.
- Light control – Dark rooms like bedrooms often need multiple layers for blackout capability.
Ultimately, you can’t go wrong pairing or not pairing shutters and curtains as long as you thoughtfully weigh the factors that matter most for each individual room. This ensures the final look elegantly suits both design style and functional needs.
