Window shutters protect against burglary, prevent from drafts and guard the privacy of the household. Some time ago they were displaced by blinds and shades, which are more practical. However, there are still charming and today are more and more often perceived as a decorative element. Wooden shutters – quite often painted in a way that contrasts the color of the walls – are associated with simple, old-fashioned elegance of the past times as well as the idyllic landscape dotted with brick-red houses. Today we may see the architectonic details which are similar to those from the past, including fashionable shutters in Provencal style as well as cottage or vintage styles.
