Hello!
We are currently building a house in the Swabian architectural style.
This style includes window shutters.
Now we are deciding on the color of the shutters. We would like to choose a color that is less common. Red or green is considered "standard."
We would like to have blue shutters, but blue is generally a cooler color.
How can we design the facade together with blue window shutters so that it doesn’t look too cold?
For example, we were thinking of cobalt blue or steel blue (RAL 5013 / RAL 5011).
If we choose a facade color with beige or brown tones, it might appear a bit "warmer"...
Do you possibly have pictures of houses with similar color schemes?

Why are they installed already? At our place, they only go up after the exterior plaster ...

Otherwise, you would have to take everything down again, or it would be dark inside for weeks when plastering and the shutters are closed ...

But great color ...

Thank you! They have already installed them so that they don’t need to be stored anywhere. It will still take some time until the exterior plaster is applied. Once the exterior is plastered, they will simply be removed again. Apparently, it’s not a very big task.

Sorry, I should have read more carefully; then I would have noticed how old this topic is. The windows turned out nice, but the business shown in the profile looks a bit unusual. Couldn't it have been done differently?

What exactly do you mean by that?

The attachment to the "window frame," instead of in the masonry next to the window.

Ah, okay. I’m not familiar with whether there is an alternative option for that. That was the case with our windows and shutters.
