timeless, real wood Window coverings for small windows

Small windows serve a useful purpose for tight spaces, adding natural light and ventilation to your home.  Small windows are often found in laundry rooms, above beds in the bedroom for privacy, in bathrooms, hallways, above doors, etc.  Yet covering small windows can be a challenge, especially while maintaining beautiful aesthetics along with convenience and functionality.

Plantation shutters are a perfect solution for those tight spaces and small windows that frequently pose a window-covering quandry for Austin homeowners.

Interior plantation shutters for small windows simultaneously add light control, privacy, energy efficiency, and ventilation.  Plantation shutters have louvers or slats that can be adjusted to control the amount of light, air, and privacy that enters a room.

The classic and timeless look of interior window shutters adds elegance and sophistication to any room. They come in a variety of styles and materials, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your home's decor.  We specialize in custom-built small window shutters that provide a seamless, low-profile look in even the tightest spaces.

Why Choose Plantation Shutters to Cover Small Windows?

Small window shutters offer several advantages over other window treatments. They provide more privacy than blinds or curtains while still allowing you to control the amount of light that enters the room. They also provide better insulation than most other window treatments, helping to keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

One of the key benefits of small window shutters is their versatility. Unlike larger shutters, small window shutters can fit into tight spaces, making them ideal for small windows in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. 

Southern Shutters exclusively uses real wood for our plantation shutters, specifically a hardwood known as basswood. Basswood is known for being a lightweight, yet strong wood that is easy to work with, making it a great option for small window shutters.

Because small shutters require intricate craftsmanship to ensure a perfect fit, the lightweight nature of basswood allows for ease of installation while still providing durability and longevity for the shutters. Additionally, basswood has a fine, uniform texture that makes it an ideal choice for painting or staining, which can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the shutters for small windows.

Custom Options For Selecting and Installing Shutters for Small Windows 

Louver Size:

When you schedule a free, in-home consultation with one of our factory reps, you’ll be able to choose the size of the louver. Wider louvers often make sense for larger windows and rooms, while slightly smaller louvers may look more balanced with a small window. 

Tilt Rod:

All of our shutters can be customized to include a tilt rod or a hidden tilt. The tilt mechanism allows you to adjust the amount of light and ventilation that comes into the room, while still maintaining privacy and security. 

Paint or Stain:

Depending on your decor and personal preference, we will customize your small window shutters with paint or stain. Our exclusive paint and stain matching process ensures the perfect match every time! It’s one of the many reasons we have more 5-star reviews than any other shutter manufacturer in central Texas. 

Hinges:

Hinges are also completely customizable; we use only the highest quality hardware to give your interior shutters that luxurious look, feel and functionality.

Cleaning interior Shutters on small windows

Cleaning small window shutters is a breeze with the right tools and materials. At Southern Shutters, we recommend using a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution to gently wipe down your shutters. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the shutters' finish.

To clean hard-to-reach areas, use a handheld vacuum or a soft-bristled brush. Be sure to clean the shutters regularly to prevent dust and dirt buildup, which can damage the shutters' finish and affect their performance.
