Plantation Shutters Offer Traditional Beauty and Modern Functionality
The beauty of plantation shutters has spanned the centuries and, though their roots can be traced back to antiquity, they are the ideal solution to many of the problems that modern homeowners contend with. Offering exceptional light, heat, air, and privacy control, plantation shutters are the perfect choice for your home’s window treatments. Galaxy Draperies – a local family-owned window treatment company – has been installing premium plantation shutters in Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley homes since 1976. With more than four decades of experience, we are the company to partner with for your window treatment project.
Exceptional Quality
At Galaxy Draperies, quality comes before all else. That’s why we install plantation shutters that are expertly crafted using 100 percent American basswood. This North American wood species is renowned for its durability, making it the best choice for hardwood shutters that will last.
Personalized Beauty
All of the window treatments we install are made to order, allowing you to customize your plantation shutters to meet your unique tastes and preferences. We offer a variety of shapes and sizes, so your new shutters will fit the specific configuration of your windows—even unique styles including arched and angled. Our shutters can also be customized to:
- Be operable from whatever direction and from whichever side
- Open from the top or bottom independently
- Be constructed as halves so you are only covering the bottom half of a window, similar to café shutters
- Be installed onto doors
A wide range of colors and stains, are also available so you can choose an aesthetic that matches your personal aesthetic. What’s more, one of our professional design consultants will be happy to help you select a finish that complements your home’s interior beautifully.
Privacy Control
With plantation shutters in place, you can easily control the angle of the slats and determine to what degree you would like them to be open or closed. This will assist with privacy, and keep the peering eyes of passersby at bay. The privacy plantation shutters provide comfort and peace of mind, and eliminate the feeling of living in a fishbowl—something no homeowner wants to deal with.
Light Control
When the sun is at its peak, and its rays are streaming through your windows, your indoor living spaces can overheat and become uncomfortable. However, with plantation shutters, you can have full agency over the amount of light that comes inside. All you need to do is maneuver the slats and determine how much sun you would like to enter your home.
By determining the appropriate amount of light, you can help your home maintain a consistently comfortable temperature. This can even lessen stress on your HVAC system, which may lower your monthly energy expenses—who wouldn’t want to benefit from that?

What People Say About Us
"From scheduling our appointment to meeting with our designer, Bernadette, and the installer, Alfredo, we were met with professionalism and comforted in knowing we were dealing with people who knew what they were doing. Arrival times were well within the two-hour window. Bernadette shared her knowledge and expertise to help us choose the window treatments that best fit our needs and budget. We are so pleased with the final result and look forward to covering the rest of the window in our home."
"My wife and I recently moved and were in the market for new shades for our bathroom , living room and kitchen . We didn't really have a set vision so it was unbelievable when our designer Karen went through all the possibilities and showed us what would work well with the setup . Karen was not only very professional , she was personable and super knowledgeable about the products. I wish I could have her design the rest of our house ! Great product , great designer, great experience!"
"I would like to say that Galaxy Draperies was the best choice we've made. We recently purchased a new home and wanted to thank Bernadette for the amazing service she provided. I was referred to her by my sister, which also happened to purchase through you guys. Not only did Bernadette make me feel comfortable but it felt like I was working with family."
"Ordered Roman Shades for five windows. Designer who came to our home was nice and professional, Roman Shades arrived on time, the installation was handled by their installer who called and asked if he could come by earlier than our appointment, which was great. He was friendly, professional and did a great job! Highly recommend this company."
"I had a great experience with Galaxy. The designer presented me with several options and was very helpful in designing my window treatments. The installers were very professional, courteous, and careful! I will definitely use them in the future!"
