Plantation shutters vs Cottage shutters

10 years ago

What are the differences between these two items? I'm thinking it's just width of the slats, which would be just personal preference.

If you have plantation shutters inside, is it wrong to also have decorative shutters on the outside of the house?

Anyone have other advice on shutters?

We have plantation shutters on our windows, and I simply love them. I have not heard the term cottage shutters. We have exterior shutters as well, I never thought about them not going together. Most people I know who have plantation shutters also have exterior shutters.
