Shutter BoysInterior shutters in Atlanta
Atlanta's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Atlanta's warmest month is July, at an average high of 90°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 33.5°F.
Highs stay at 80°F or more from May to September: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Brookhaven, 8 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (53).

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings
With 54 days a year at 90°F or more, close the louvers on sunny afternoons so the bedroom isn't holding the day's heat at night, then tilt them open for air once the sun is off the glass.
Living rooms on winter evenings
52 nights a year fall at or below freezing. Closing the shutters after dark puts a layer of still air between the room and the cold glass; open them again in the morning so the window dries out.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
In a place with 51.9 inches of precipitation a year, damp rooms stay damp longer. Wood shutters suit a bathroom with a fan, kept out of shower spray; run the fan so steam doesn't sit behind closed louvers.
Room by room in Atlanta
The median home in Atlanta has 4.5 rooms, and the most common has 2 bedrooms. With so few rooms, the living room and bedroom are usually the whole order. In Brookhaven, 8 miles away, the figure is 5.1 rooms.
30% of workers here worked from home in the 2020–2024 survey years, more than in 94% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. A home office is often the next room shuttered. In Brookhaven, 8 miles away, it's about the same: 29% worked from home.
