Your windows are more than just light channels into your home. They frame your walls and accent your home’s color palette. White is a timeless color choice that many homeowners are fond of. When it comes to choosing between shades of white for wood window treatments such as our Premium Plantation Shutters, Naples Shutter has you covered.
Your window treatments should pair well with each wall color and room texture in your home. Find out how you can match your white window treatments to the rest of the room seamlessly. 
Matching the Room’s Undertones: Cool vs. Warm Colors
White is a neutral color, but it can have cool or warm undertones. It’s important to figure out which undertones are present in each room before choosing shades of white.
A room with lots of “sunny colors” (red, orange, yellow, etc.) will need similar white window treatments. In this case, you’d choose a paint color for your plantation shutters with warm undertones. Cream colors naturally have yellow or orange undertones, making these shades perfect for your warm-toned rooms.
On the other hand, rooms with lots of blues, grays, and other cool colors need different paint shades of white. Pure white shades are brighter and often have cooler undertones. You could also go with gray-tinged white shades to add depth to the room.
When to Avoid Off-White Colors
Off-white color shades are useful in warm-toned rooms, but they can age windows in a cool-toned room. Choosing cream colors or other off-white shades for these rooms can make your shutters look dusty or dirty.
You should also consider how light funnels into the room. Lots of warm sunlight will highlight the warm undertones in your window treatments. When choosing between shades of white for wood window treatments, think about how much sunlight these blinds will get throughout the day.
Modern, neutral palettes don’t mix well with off-white window treatments. If this is your home’s color scheme, go for brighter and purer white shades instead of off-white window treatments.
