shutters-2

Shutters in Provence are actually functional and are closed to block out sunlight and the harsh mistral. In many other countries, it’s more about a look or style that people are going for more so than function. Most shutters you see on houses are non-functional (even if they have the shutter dogs & hinges). So it really comes down to personal preference and what look you’re trying to achieve. And if you are a bit confused by looking at this picture… these shutters were photographed from below 🙂
