Which Window Treatments Help Your Home Look Best From Outside?
As a savvy Bakersfield homeowner, you weigh your choices in window treatments based on how they can make your interior look. But have you ever thought about which window treatments look best from the other side of your windows, and which ones increase your home’s curb appeal?
These are our top recommendations for window treatments that make your home’s exterior look even better.
Shutters Offer Top Curb Appeal
Shutters are great for maximizing curb appeal because they’re so easy to see from outdoors. With their bright, solid shape and wide louvers, shutters “pop” more than other window treatments, and are able to seamlessly match just about any style of building. With the brilliant whites from Polywood® plantation shutters or muted and natural looks of Ovation® wood shutters, they can complement any type of siding you have, from brick siding to shingle siding and beyond.

Shutters can also help give you a uniform look across each of your windows. If your window treatments are all wildly different you could end up with a messy look, so the ability to use the same window treatments across all your windows is a huge boon. Our shutters are custom made to fit any style and shape of window, so you can get a coordinated, consistent look no matter what.
Lastly, shutters are super resilient and easy to clean, so you’ll never have to worry about them looking shoddy, sun-bleached or dirty in the window like you would with a fabric window treatment.

Shades In Bakersfield Open Up Your Color Palette
Though they don’t offer the same “pop” as shutters do, the most notable benefits of shades are their clean, solid look and ability to color match. If you have an incredibly particular color combo in mind that you want to adhere to across every party of your home – shades are what you want. With hundreds of choices in colors and patterns, shades might be your most versatile option.
Keep in mind with shades that they require a bit more upkeep to maintain their beautiful looks. Over the course of a few months, they can wrinkle, fold, fade and stain, meaning all of their appeal goes away. Also keep in mind how silhouettes will cast on them in the evening when you have the lights on indoors.
