Do the doors inside your home need solutions? You’re not alone. Covering doors can be somewhat of a challenge. With so many window treatment options now available to outfit doors, it’s hard to know where to start. With the weather changing for the better, it’s time to find solutions for all of your entryways. Whether it’s patio doors, sliding glass doors or french doors, let’s get inspired and get outdoors!
The Entryway Door
It’s important to feel secure in your own home, and by covering windows and doors we feel less vulnerable. Many people settle on opaque fabric for their entryway door which can provide privacy from the front walk. Most often, shades can be installed on windows of the entryway, but what about those narrow windows on either side of the solid door referred to as sidelights?
Here’s an idea. By installing honeycomb shades there, your entrance will look more sophisticated. These shades maintain the privacy you need, block the light and add energy efficiency to your home. The top down feature allows light in and doesn’t compromise your family’s privacy. A perfect fit!
Patio Door Ideas
Patio doors are a simple way to get to the backyard quickly, but they also present a unique challenge when it comes to covering doors. A high traffic area like this requires door coverage that fits the glass, while allowing people to come in and out freely throughout the day. The many windows of the patio area are a source of light for the home and sometimes a focal point–try coordinating window treatments!
With features such as light filtering capability and a low profile design, sheer shades and roller shades have become a common choice for patio doors. Remember to draw the shades for a more pleasant daylight experience or to add to your privacy in the evenings.
Sliding Window Treatments
The glare, unforgiving sunlight and UV rays can be dreadful if your sliding glass doors go without window treatments. (Not to mention the neighbor’s clear view of your dinner table!) But by covering doors, you can appreciate the view to the outside without annoyance or worry. Remember, doors that slide back and forth will require a custom solution.
In the spring and summer, sliding glass doors get a lot of use. Kids are in and out, dogs are in and out, burgers are in and out! Make sure your window treatments add to the convenience.
When covering doors that slide, it’s important to remember how technology can improve the way we live in our homes. By installing window treatments equipped with automation, your voice can control their opening and closing. Integrating smart home solutions has never been more popular! What are you waiting for?
The Elegance of French Doors
French doors bring such sophistication to the home. But, even though the paneled glass is a beautiful design element, the doors may need covering to protect privacy and add light control. These woven woods are a great option for coordinating french doors and windows alike.
Many people choose to add shutters to their french doors for a custom look. The fine design of white or wood stain shutters brings a classic feel to your home. Function + style is exemplified with the unique feature of door handle cutouts. Take a look below.
Draperies can be used as another choice for your french doors. Easily draw them closed when you need to, or leave them open to frame your doors for a designer look. Available in many colors, patterns and textures– fabric drapes are sure to coordinate with the rest of your home.
