Our Rachel Brosky Interiors designers know everything there is to know about Hunter Douglas shutters and share expert advice to help you make the right decision for your home.

Warm Wood Window Shutters

Heritance® Wood Shutters are an excellent place to start exploring primary bedroom shutters. Wood brings a warm, welcoming ambiance to bedrooms that can help you relax after a long, busy day. They blend flawlessly with a range of interior design styles, including:

Traditional.
Transitional.
Biophilic.

Hardwood has an inherent upscale quality that elevates the aesthetic of any bedroom. If you prefer a classic bedroom design, you can't beat 2 1/2" wide louvers and standard hinged operation. These Hunter Douglas shutters come in various stain finishes, including dark hues, like espresso and mahogany, to complement sophisticated bedrooms. Consider a crisp white or creamy off-white paint finish if you prefer an airy color palette.

Low-Maintenance Composite Shutters

If you have kids or pets who frequent your bedroom, durable shutters that don’t sacrifice style are essential, which is what NewStyle® Composite Shutters do. With the look of painted hardwood and the strength of composite materials, these shutters are perfect for primary bedrooms in busy, modern homes. Composite shutters have several specialty shapes, such as:

Arches.
Circles.
French doors.

If your bedroom has a contemporary aesthetic, consider the broader 3 ½” louvers, especially for oversized windows or sliding glass doors. You can upgrade these Hunter Douglas shutters with SoftClose™ Louvers with Quick Align™. This system gently closes louvers when they reach a preset position and allows you to set a position across multiple panels for a polished look.

Coastal Vinyl Window Shutters

Kentucky may not be on the coast, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring the salt life look to your bedroom. Palm Beach™ Polysatin Vinyl Shutters are the perfect way to accent the laid-back ambiance of coastal design. Available in a curated palette of neutral colors that complement any color scheme, vinyl Hunter Douglas shutters are waterproof and resist UV damage.

Combine these primary bedroom shutters with grasscloth wallpaper or a rattan rug to elevate the coastal ambiance. These vinyl window treatments are the only compatible Hunter Douglas shutter style with the award-winning PowerView® Automation.
