👀 Here is an exterior design detail that is easy to miss until it is done wrong: alignment.
Look at the three Bahama-style shutters in this photo. Their matching proportions and consistent placement create a clean rhythm across the upper story.
When several windows sit side by side, each shutter should feel like part of one composition. Even a small difference in mounting position can become surprisingly noticeable from the street.
Before choosing a shutter based on a catalog photo, step back and consider the complete elevation of your home. The relationship between the windows and the architectural lines matters too.
