Doors can be very difficult to treat, and often dictate the options for the rest of the room. I would like to take the next few entries and discuss some of our favorite options. To begin with we will discuss swinging or french doors with full glass.

Assuming the door is active, we try to stay away from havier prodcuts such as wood blinds. When the door swings, the blind will rattle, and eventually the mounting scres will become loose. Sheer or lightweight fabric gathered on a rod at the top and bottom is a classic choice but many other options are out there. Cordless honeycomb shades with the top down option are always a good choice as are roman or grass cloth shades with the edges bound. These last two options require a cleat mounted on the door to keep the cords neat and away from the hinges.

Plantation shutters work wonderfully on french doors. The positive mounting system removes the issues of the wood blinds above, and the handle is dealt with through a decorative cut out in the frame.

Shutters work beautifully on French Doors

Shutters are an ideal choice when determining how to cover french doors. The shutter is firmly attached to the door by a frame that accomodates the movement of the louvers. The frame should have a curved cutout to accomodate the lever handle found on most french doors.
