The goal of most homeowners when decorating their rooms is to make them look as spacious and big as possible. The use of shutters can help you achieve this and create the impression of a larger living room. 

Unlike traditional fittings, such as curtains, shutters are fitted within a window recess so they sit flush. As a result, the space around and on either side of the window is left blank. Due to the fact that there is more wall and floor space displayed, the room appears to be larger. 

A heavy fabric curtain will also appear to take up more space than a light fabric curtain due to its size and floor area demands. Choosing shutters that match the colour of your wall can also improve the visual simplicity of a room. You can have a great setting for your furniture without looking cluttered by creating a seamless look around the walls. 

The reflection of light is another great way shutters make a room look larger. When you use certain types of shutters with large louvres, you will be able to let in maximum natural light throughout your home. It is also possible to flood a room with more light by using shutters of lighter colours. This effect can be further enhanced by the clever placement of mirrors.

A window shutter is an extremely neat, bright and modern way of enhancing your home without having to completely redesign and redecorate.
