California inspired interiors with interior shutters

California is a state known for its beautiful beaches, sunny weather, and laid-back lifestyle. If you’re looking to create a California inspired home, Interior shutters are a great way to do it. America is one of the origin countries of Shutters, used in larger houses to help benefit homeowners and protect them from the warmer climates, keeping their homes cool and relaxing.

Interior shutters are a type of window covering that is made of wood or polyvinyl and has louvers that can be opened and closed to control the amount of light that enters a room. They are a popular choice for California homes because they provide privacy, energy efficiency, and style.

The main features of a California interior

Although we don’t often experience extremely hot climates here in the UK, shutters are still helpful for improving the quality of homes and controlling the temperature in various seasons. California inspired homes are becoming more and more popular in the interior world. Here are some interior tips for getting the fresh California feel before adding your shutters:

• Clean and Fresh feel – Bright whites and soft touches of colour make your interior feel very clean and open – similar to a beach home
• Pale Browns/ light wood touches – adding a vintage piece of California inspired furniture that is more of a light wood colour, adds key features to a California room, and is often something for the eye to be instantly drawn to
• Go Green – Indoor plants, real or fake, are a common feature of these interiors and often add that bit of colour to a very light and airy interior.
• Natural light – This is key if you’re looking to go really authentic as it makes a room feel much more open.

We think Shutters are the perfect final addition to interiors like these, not only do they help increase your natural light but also your privacy. We have a range of light paint shades, from Super White to a variety of off-whites and creams that would help achieve that “fresh and clean” look that California interiors have. For more inspiration, we found some amazing home designs over on Pinterest that are just too beautiful to miss!
