Faux wood shutters are a beautiful option in the world of interior decorating. The definition of faux is artificial or imitation. When you combine faux with wood shutters, you have lovely custom window treatments that are affordable because they generally cost less than wooden shutters and they are maintenance free. Vinyl or PVC plantation shutters are cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge and the satin finish remains intact. Faux wood does not warp, fade, chip or peel so they are ideal for extremely humid or dry climates. Faux wood is the best material when it comes to bathrooms. The humidity from the Jacuzzi, whirlpool or steam shower in a master bathroom will not damage the synthetic material.

Shutters are also the perfect option when it comes to privacy. The louvers vary in size according to the decorative look you want in the room. Consider installing a fabric valance above the shutters to soften the look and add some color. Faux wood products are more limited in colors than wooden shutters so the valance takes care of that issue. Shutters are an investment in the value of your home so search for the companies that offer a lifetime warranty. You want to purchase shutters that are fully assembled with easy to follow installation instructions.
