Choose Award-Winning Shutters
Shutters are a popular window covering here in the Dallas area. At Ross Howard Designs, we carry the industry’s best shutters, including the Window Covering Manufacturers Association’s product of the year. Heritance® Hardwood Shutters Collection won top prize and was also named Best New Style Concept in the Shutters Category. With these award-winning shutters, you can have the beauty of long-lasting, natural hardwood. The exclusive Handcrafted Series was developed to feature techniques found today in high-end wood floors, cabinetry and furniture.
