exterior board and batten vinyl shutters or no shutters?
I am debating if we should add shutters to our newly painted house. I’ve read a few forums in which they are very against non-proportional and fake shutters. I thought it looked nice as decor, but wanted to know what people thought. I thought it looks ok both ways, without shutters is a little plain but looks ok to me too.
1 photo is plain, 2nd photo is holding up one shutter, 3rd is a rendering with shutters.

hace 3 añosI vote for shutters but you need to understand what size. The shutter should be as tall as the window and the width should be able to cover 1 side of the window. The ones you are showing are too small.
hace 3 añosÚltima modificación: hace 3 añosI prefer no shutters however Nancy (above) has a great point. You do have the room for properly sized shutters. They would need to be wide enough to cover one entire window on each side since you have chosen a double window size. They don't need to be functional; just appear functional. Something like these insp pics below. Notice that the width of the shutters vary depending upon the window sizes even if they are on the same side of the house like the insp pics show.

Having too small shutters really makes the house look like the owner or builder ran out of money at the end of the build (to me) or didn't care to do any research and had no idea that there are good looking shutters that are sized right and can enhance the home (but not available at Lowes or HD or other big box store). Take your time and do it right so your home is enhanced if you choose to add shutters.

PROhace 3 añosÚltima modificación: hace 3 añosif you want to update, paint your garage doors a darker color and add some carriage hardware to them. a darker shade than the house color would be fine
(no shutters)
And get new lights
gave you darker doors w/windows and the hardware, new lights, and a new address plaque
I probably would have opted for a darker trim color on the porch posts and the window trim. if you did that w/the darker garage doors, I think it would take it up a notch.
the additions of window inserts and /or the hardware, plus lights, made a huge diff
you could also consider doing some stone work around the garage doors. (but all the way up and around)
