Memphis's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Memphis's warmest month is July, at an average high of 91.9°F, and its coldest nights come in January, at an average low of 33.3°F.
Highs stay at 80°F or more from May to September: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.
Southaven, 11 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (72).

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings
With 72 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.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
In a place with 55 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.
Living rooms on winter evenings
45 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.
