Shutter Color-Help!

We have recently changed the exterior color of our house and added stone. Now we are trying to decide on a shutter color. Do you like the black shutter shown in the picture, or do you think a darker gray would look better? Any thoughts are appreciated!

White indoor shutters with dark brown window frames
Comments (8)One more question: If I use white shutters, does that mean I have to also have white doors inside the house? Should the internal doors match the window frames or the shutters? There will be a slide and fold door between the living room and an ante-room, which will be of glass with upvc frames; my furniture in my living room have dark brown cane frames, and I have a black antique Chinese lacquer screen, on which are various colours of jade pieces, and a large opium bed of dark mahogany, and also a black grand piano, and the floor is a honey brown Thai Teak on which would go a couple of Persian rugs....See MoreNeed help on Desk Colour!
Comments (5)Hi again. I see where Dytecture is going with this. It's hard to say, really, because the only existing colour you mentioned was white. Once you put something coloured or dark in the space, your eye will zoom past the white and look at the colour or the visual weight of the piece. When I was recommending something white or colourless (glass and metal), I had in mind that you probably don't want to make the desk your only feature. I would recommend having your desk as a functional piece that blends with the decor, but I would definitely add punches of colour elsewhere. Large colourful artworks on the walls, a couple of bold colour-blocked cushions on the sofa (see Dytecture's first picture above), a grouping of three very tall boldly coloured vases (different heights), and so on. These will give you the pizzazz you're looking for. In an otherwise white apartment, a dark or coloured desk is still not going to give you much style or impact....See MoreNeed help in new wall colors
Comments (2)Hi! I'm sure there's many people who would like to offer you their design advice, but they look in the "Design Dialema" section of our Discussions board. Try posting in that area of the site for better luck! Thanks, Jake from Houzz...See MoreNeed help with wall colours
