Are Blinds the Best Choice for French Doors?
French doors are popular styles of doors for their ability to flood natural light into the home. Traditionally, they showcased many small glass panels framed by wood. However, their aesthetic has evolved to more sleek designs with large glass panes and slimmer frames. Since French doors feature windows, window treatments are a must for privacy and light control. Plus, they add a touch of style! You may be under the impression that blinds for French doors are your best bet. While blinds can definitely work, there's a better option. Let's delve into the details:
Blinds: A Step Up from Bare French Doors, But Not Without Flaws
Choosing blinds for French doors is undoubtedly better than leaving them exposed without a window treatment. They offer light control and privacy when you need it and come in a variety of colors and styles to fit your home's decor. However, there are some drawbacks to outfitting your door with French door blinds. First, they can interfere with the door functionality. For example, when the door is opened or closed, blinds swing against the glass, causing a noisy ruckus. In the worst-case scenario, they become damaged over time, or worse, they damage the door itself.
Further, blinds make it challenging to utilize the door's handles and locks fully. You don't want to start your day by fumbling to lock the door when you're on the way out, and you don't want to come home to blinds clattering every time you try to open the door. For some homeowners, the hassle of blinds on a French door quickly turns the beauty of these doors into frustration. If window treatments are necessary for French doors, which works better than blinds? The answer is roller shades for French doors.
Roller Shades: The Ultimate Upgrade for French Doors
Roller shades are a much simpler window treatment than blinds because they consist of a single piece of fabric that rolls up neatly into a tube when raised. When lowered, they provide a single smooth panel over the door for privacy and light control. Roller shades such as Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades® offer a minimalist appearance that goes far better with the sleek appearance of French doors than blinds do. Plus, you can opt for cordless designs for a cleaner look and increased safety, especially for homes with children or pets.
Unlike blinds that bang against the door, roller shades stay flush with the door, so the overall functionality of the door remains unimpeded and noise-free. Lastly, when choosing window treatments for French doors, it's essential to consider privacy. French doors allow beautiful views of the outside, but they also enable views directly into your home! Roller shades are the answer at night or when you want to create total privacy. They provide superior privacy over blinds, as their solid fabric panels cover the glass entirely without light gaps. Roller shades for French doors are the best for peace of mind from prying eyes.
