You can paint them and turn them into wall decor for a gallery wall!

Hillela has a good idea. You could paint to any decor style. I like them used as photo holders, especially Christmas card holders. You can slide card one side under slots so face of card shows. You could Spain to seasons to display holiday items too.
small ones can be used for phone numbers.

I had big outside ones. I hinged 4 together in accordion fasion using heavy hinges. Then I used them different places in the yard just like u would a room screen indoors.
I saw an idea where a variety of antique hooks were screwed onto the shutters to hang hats, coats, jackets, scarves, etc. The shutters were screwed onto a wall (find wall stud) for support. One shutter was hung vertical and one was hung horizontal. Paint to match your décor.
You can use them as headboards.
