French doors are perfect additions to any home. Many homeowners select French doors over sliding one because of their architectural features. A French door doesn’t provide much privacy or light control but it definitely gives a “new” look to your home as soon as you open the door. Depending on the amount of privacy and light control you need, there are various window treatments to choose from for your French door:
- Draperies: Floor-length draperies are an ideal choice for French doors. Hang them from a curtain rod that extends beyond the door as this will prevent drapery to impede door function.
- Cellular shades: Cellular shades are the most energy-efficient and affordable option for covering French doors as they easily fit within the dimension of the door.
- Blinds: The best way to accentuate French doors is to install blinds. Custom blinds have louvers that can be tilted to manage visibility.
- Layering: You can even cover French door with two types of window treatments: A sheer drapery installed closest to the door for letting in light and outer solid drapery for gaining more privacy.
Covering a French door is quite tricky. However, when done in the right way, French door and its coverings can add texture to the space and enhance the room around them.
