Window shutters are often constructed for some purposes such as light control, protection from outside elements, or privacy. Besides, some people just want window shutters as a way of decoration. But they seemingly do not know that getting the wrong size and installation positions can result in hilarious failures.
Scott Sidler, a preservation contractor, saw so many mismatched windows and terrible shutter locations that he started to take photos of them to share on his Instagram account. His series of ridiculous window shutter fails helped people know more about what an actual window and shutters should look like, and also brought them peals of laughter. Check out some of the best examples in the list below.
