Renting

Shutters screw into the frame, so ask your landlord first. Taking them down later leaves only screw holes to fill.

Building rules

Most HOA and building rules are about what shows from outside: often white or off-white facing the glass. Check yours before ordering a colour, and book the elevator for delivery and install day.
