Follow this 10-step guide to find plantation shutters that are perfect for your home and take advantage of our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
1. Understand Your Window Treatment Goals
Start by identifying what you want to achieve with your plantation shutters. Are you looking to enhance privacy, block sunlight, or improve energy efficiency? Maybe you want to add a timeless touch of elegance to your space. Knowing your priorities will help guide your decisions and ensure the shutters meet your functional and aesthetic needs.
With Blinds by Noon’s free in-home design consultation, our experts can help you clarify your goals and recommend the best options.
2. Choose the Right Material
Plantation shutters are available in various materials, each with specific benefits. Blinds by Noon offers a wide range of options to suit your needs:
- Basswood and Poplar Wood Shutters: Lightweight and durable, these premium hardwood shutters are perfect for achieving a warm, natural look in any room.
- Faux Wood Shutters: Moisture-resistant and tough, these are ideal for kitchens or bathrooms where humidity is a concern.
- Composite & Vinyl Shutters: These shutters mimic the beauty of wood but provide added durability at an affordable price.
All of our materials undergo rigorous quality checks, ensuring you receive window treatments that last for years.
3. Pick the Perfect Style
The style of your shutters can define the vibe of your home. At Blinds by Noon, we tailor each design to your preferences:
- Full-Height Shutters: A polished, full-coverage look that’s both modern and traditional.
- Café-Style Shutters: These cover only the bottom half of the window, ideal for enhancing privacy while allowing sunlight to filter in.

Our experienced designers will walk you through samples during your consultation, helping you visualize the perfect match for your home.
4. Select the Louver Size
Louvers, or the horizontal slats of your shutters, play a key role in functionality and appearance. Blinds by Noon offers a variety of sizes to help create the look you want:
- Small Louvers (2.5 inches): Best for traditional or small windows.
- Medium Louvers (3 inches): The most popular choice, offering timeless style and balanced light control.
- Large Louvers (3.5 inches or more): Ideal for modern spaces, offering an open, airy feel.
Our experts will explain how different louver sizes perform in terms of light control and design so you can make an informed decision.

Accurate measurements are key to a flawless installation. Blinds by Noon handles this step for you with detailed in-home measurements, ensuring a precise fit—even if you have odd-shaped or oversized windows. Skip the guesswork and leave it to the professionals!
6. Match the Shutter Color to Your Home Decor
The right color can transform your furniture and decor. At Blinds by Noon, you can choose from timeless white shades, neutral tones, or rich wood finishes like espresso and pecan. Want something unique? We can customize to match your exact color requirements. Our finishes are designed to resist fading, ensuring they look fresh for years to come.
