We love our plantation shutters. We sleep during the day and the shutters keep out enough light that drapes were not necessary. Joy Blinds installed ours.
Our wide slats close up or down. We had the shutters installed outside of the windows, rather than on the inside so I could open 'in' the windows for cleaning. Super great install job! The cat does miss her window ledges though.

There is only a small magnetic latch holding them shut, so we are searching for a shutter latch for strong storms. Ideas welcome and yes, a drill and a nail would work, just not my style.
