The Best Shutters for Bathrooms, Kitchens, and Humid Spaces

Aug 27, 2025 | Interior Design, Interior Shutters

Bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other humid spaces in the home present unique challenges when it comes to window treatments. Heat, moisture, and steam can cause many materials like fabric shades or traditional wood blinds to warp, discolor, or wear out quickly. For these high-moisture spaces, you need a solution that can stand up to the elements without sacrificing style. That’s where our LouverWood™ plantation shutters come in.

Why Humid Spaces Need Special Window Treatments

Not all plantation shutters are created equal. While real wood shutters look beautiful, they aren’t always the best fit for rooms where humidity is a daily factor. Bathrooms and kitchens in particular can expose window treatments to:

  • Steam from showers, cooking, and dishwashing.
  • Heat and fluctuating temperatures.
  • Spills, splashes, and condensation. 

Over time, these conditions can damage standard shutters or blinds. That’s why choosing a moisture-resistant option like LouverWood™ is a smarter long-term investment.
