What Color of Shutters Should You Choose for Your Home?

Interior shutters are a lasting architectural element that shapes the style and mood of your home. That’s why choosing the right interior shutter colors is such an important decision. 

Whether you want to brighten your home or create a cozier atmosphere, this guide will help you figure out what color shutters to choose.

Neutral Interior Shutter Colors for a Bright, Airy Feel

Neutral tones are the most popular choice for homeowners who want to maximize light and create the illusion of more space. Each color offers its own subtle character.

Classic White Shutters

White shutters are timeless, versatile and unmatched in their ability to reflect natural light. They adapt beautifully to any style and remain a go-to for homeowners looking for a fresh, crisp look.

Our Norman® Woodlore® Shutters are available in six standard white finishes. 

Off-White and Cream Shutters

For rooms that need brightness with a softer touch, off-white or cream shutters deliver warmth without losing that airy feel. They help balance stark whites, adding comfort and subtle depth to bedrooms, kitchens and other living spaces.

Light Gray Shutters

Light gray shutters offer a modern alternative to traditional neutrals. They bring understated sophistication, provide gentle contrast against white walls and complement a wide range of interior palettes.

Our Woodlore® Plus Shutters are available with an expanded color palette, and we can match them to any painted surface in your home. 

Dark and Stained Shutters for a Cozy, Rich Atmosphere

Darker shutter colors add drama and depth, creating a sense of intimacy that’s perfect for larger rooms or bold design choices.

Black and Charcoal Shutters

Black or charcoal shutters make a striking design statement. They add contrast, luxury and a modern edge, especially when paired with lighter walls. These bold choices often become the focal point of the room.

Natural Wood Stains

Wood-stained shutters bring organic warmth and texture. From light oak to deep walnut, the stain you choose can either complement existing wood floors and furniture or stand out as a rich contrast. 

Our Normandy® Wood Shutters are available in several standard painted and stained colors as well as custom hues.

How to Finalize Your Shutter Color Choice

When it's time to make your decision, keep these simple guidelines in mind:

  • Consider your existing trim and wall color.
  • Look at your flooring and furniture.
  • Think about the room’s natural light.
  • Request color samples before ordering. 

It's also a good idea to look at different shutter colors in homes with the style you're envisioning.
