Considering interior shutters for your home?

Today’s shutter styles make this treatment a stunning addition to any room in your home. Whether your style is traditional or contemporary, there are options available that will work seamlessly with your personalized styling.

We will familiarize you with shutter terminology and options to assist you in selecting the proper louver size, panel depth, style, color, and hardware finish selection. We provide custom woodwork when needed to allow for shutters to be direct inside mounted in your window frames, and will educate you on why this is so important and the difference it will make both functionally and aesthetically. Why not visit Barrows Custom Window Treatments showroom in Newton, MA in order to find shutters that are of the design, material and price that you desire.

There are many materials available in which shutters can be manufactured. The materials range from vinyl (ideal for shower areas) to specialized species of woods. Again, we will assist you in this selection.

Our clients find it very helpful to be able to view, touch, and use full size samples of shutters. We invite you to schedule an appointment to meet with our certified consultants in our showroom where we display the many styles and options of shutters. We also offer in-home consultations to follow. At this time, we go over more technical information regarding the installation process and to be certain the style selected is appropriate. We will provide you with a written estimate based upon your window sizing and let you know the approximate production time.

Once your shutters have arrived and are ready for installation you can rest assured that they will be installed by a member of Barrows certified installation crew.

Adding round-shaped interior elements can smooth the hard edges in your interior look.

The unexpected circular shapes will energize your design style. Don’t be a square – or even a rectangle! Rooms that have only sharp edges and straight lines can create a feeling of too much order and lead to a sense of discomfort or inflexibility. Add just a few round elements as an accent to soften and relax a room. You can be creative in your definition of “round” to include more than perfect circles. Include ovals, egg-shapes, ellipses, arches, curls, cylinders, rings and more. The idea is just that you add a few rounded shapes, in addition to the straight lines and square corners that are everywhere in your home. Even in the feng shui concept of interior design, round shapes are important. Feng shui is about balancing five elements, one of which is metal. The metal element is expressed as a round shape in decor; and round design elements are believed to bring clarity, precision, freshness and equality into a room. The possibilities for adding round shapes to your home environment are almost unlimited: Round pillows Curved patterns in wallpaper or upholstery fabric Cylindrical, round or oval accessories – such as vases, bowls and urns Disk-shaped tables – including dining tables, end tables and coffee tables Round light fixtures or lamps A circular sofa sectional Elliptical or round mirrors or artwork Spiral staircases And if you’re remodeling, round windows and arch top doorways or windows – or you can change the shape of a room to have a rounded window bay. Circular or oval rugs Think outside the box. Round out your interior design with some circular shapes!
