Shutters are a great architectural detail that go a long way in accenting a home’s exterior. They are a simple addition, but they pack a lot of impact on the right house. It’s one of those custom details that really makes your curb appeal that much more desirable. One way to add some extra character to your shutters is by painting them in a color besides the usual black or white. Choosing a color can make your home stand out from the rest and give it that distinct personality you may be looking for.

These ten homes went outside the box and chose colorful shutters that gave the home life. It’s hard not to be inspired…

Colorful shutters in the right hue can freshen up your home’s exterior and breathe new life into its curb appeal.

Warm regards,
