I've always thought window shutters were so stylish but, living in a cozy, period property, which struggles for natural light, makes me worry that they would simply darken an already dimly lit room. However, seeing Amanda Seyfried's floor-to-ceiling oak shutters in her Manhattan home has completely changed my mind.
Not only do they add bags of character to an otherwise plain white wall, but the unpainted wood of Amanda Seyfried's shutters anchors the whole room in a calming and light-filled space, proving that shutter ideas really are the ultimate window treatments for period homes.
