Horizontal or Vertical Blinds

As basic as blinds are, they provide more stylized options than you think. They basically look like shutters, except with the efficiency of blinds. That's an excellent combination, especially because blinds are more affordable.

Even better, they fit French doors well and come in wood or alternative wood to add to your interior decor. Many of our clients love the look of real wood on their horizontal blinds because the wood is always stained for more customized color choices. As a result, you'll better match the basic color scheme of a room where your doors are.

If you've had trouble with blind slats on blinds shifting or sliding, these slats have tight closure so you don't have to worry about privacy issues. As always, you can open the slats at the angle you want to let a little natural light in or more. At night, you won't have openings where someone could peek through from outside.

Using alternative wood, you save even more money while having plenty of durability. When people come and go through your French doors often, these alternative wood blinds hold up for years without harm from moisture.

Vertical blinds are another durable and economical choice for French doors. Sometimes these type of doors

are hard to completely cover with horizontal blinds. In that regard, we1I help you make the right decision on horizontal or vertical based on the door dimensions.

Using Shades

The great thing about installing shades on your French doors is that the variety of styles available are more extensive. Each variation provides different methods of controlling incoming light while also giving you different patterns for decorative matching.

Honeycomb shades, for instance, come in numerous colors while also providing plenty of energy savings. Pleated shades are almost the same with many different patterns to choose from while giving you UV protection.

Even traditional roller shades come in more fabric designs and textures than you ever thought were possible. This doesn't mean you can't have some customizing, including Roman and sheer shades providing cordless options for a floating effect.
