How to Choose the Perfect Exterior Shutters for Your Home’s Style

Your windows may let the light in, but your shutters frame the story. Whether you’re renovating a charming cottage in the Garden District or upgrading a modern suburban home in Metairie, the right exterior shutters bring balance, beauty, and bold style to any facade.

As we move into Louisiana’s late summer and fall seasons—when blazing heat, heavy rain, and hurricane prep all converge—there’s no better time to think about upgrading your home’s exterior. At Wholesale Siding Supply, we’ve been helping Louisiana homeowners and contractors choose the perfect match for over 40 years. If you want exterior shutters that look amazing and last, here’s how to make the smartest choice.

Perfect Exterior Shutters at wholesale siding

1. Start with the Look You Love

You don’t have to be an architect to choose the right shutters—you just need to know the vibe you want. Do you prefer a traditional, rustic, or more modern look? Whether you’re going for timeless charm or bold contrast, your shutters should reflect your taste and help your windows stand out.

Browse inspiration photos, drive through your neighborhood, or ask our experts at Wholesale Siding Supply for guidance. We’ll help you find a style that fits your home’s personality.

2. Choose the Right Color

Shutters are the exclamation point on your exterior color palette. Do you want to pop or blend in?

  • Contrast with the siding for bold curb appeal

  • Coordinate with the trim for a subtle, clean look

  • Consider earthy tones for brick homes or deep blues and blacks for white exteriors

Bonus: All of our exterior shutters at Wholesale Siding Supply are available in long-lasting, fade-resistant finishes—perfect for surviving the rest of the summer sun and transitioning into cooler fall days.

3. Get the Proportions Right

Nothing says “builder grade” like shutters that are too short or too narrow. Your shutters should visually cover the window they’re beside. We’ll help you measure correctly and choose widths that maintain your home’s symmetry—even if you’re making updates before the holidays roll around.

4. Think About Material and Maintenance

Shutters might look like pure aesthetics, but Louisiana weather will put them to the test.

Choose durable materials that resist:

  • UV damage from intense late-summer sun

  • High humidity and seasonal rains

  • Rot and warping from fluctuating temperatures

Our shutters are built for Southern conditions—because we live here too, and we know fall often brings just as much unpredictability as summer.

5. Plan the Whole Picture

At Wholesale Siding Supply, our shutters are designed to work hand-in-hand with our windows and siding solutions. That means clean edges, a perfect match in style and color, and installation made easy.

So if you’re looking to refresh your curb appeal before the holidays or planning upgrades to prep for winter weather, now is a great time to act.
