1993 was the year that brought us Frazier, the Macarena and Southern Shutters!

Times have changes and styles have changed – but we still love what we do — and we don’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon!
Friends and neighbors look forward to the Austin Home and Garden Show — and Southern Shutters Shades and Blinds will be there on January 12, 13, and 14!

We are starting to wrap up the crazy year that has been 2017, and as we do so, the team at Southern Shutters Shades and Blinds wants to take a moment to pause and thank our friends and customers that have made this year one of the very best that we have had to date.

You know shutters add beauty and function to your home, but have you given much thought to how they came to be? We admit that most people who don’t work in the shutter industry probably haven’t. There’s actually a pretty interesting history behind your window coverings, though, and it all started in ancient Greece!
It’s October, which means a few things: bright orange pumpkins, fun costumes, and Halloween candy — and at Southern Shutters Shades and Blinds, it means time for big savings! This fall, we are pleased to be offering 10% to 15% off on shutters and blinds.
When you move into a new house, you spend a great deal of time focusing on furniture placement, landscaping, and other details that will create the perfect, comfortable home. However, one area often overlooked is window coverings. While it may seem simple to just go to the store to purchase blinds or curtains, you may want to put a bit more thought into it and truly invest in the ambiance of each room. As you browse for ideas, you might be surprised at the cost of certain window treatments. To ensure you are not caught off-guard by the prices, it is important to budget for your purchase.
