Olympia's seasons, indoors
Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Olympia's warmest month is August, at an average high of 78°F, and its coldest nights come in February, at an average low of 32.3°F.
Lacey, 5 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (7).

Living rooms on winter evenings
77 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 59.1 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.
Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 15 h 54 min here, so east-facing bedrooms get light very early. Full-height panels with the louvers closed keep most of it out; a mounting frame closes the gaps around the edges.
| Feature | What matters | What we suggest |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Darkness, privacy, airflow | Full-height panels, 3½ or 4½ in louvers |
| Living room | View, daylight, glare | Wide louvers, or tier-on-tier on the street side |
| Kitchen | A wipe-clean finish | Painted poplar, café style over the sink |
| Bathroom | Steam and privacy | Painted poplar with a fan, out of shower spray |
